History in the Archives: Politics and Society in the Qing Dynasty
by Liu Zhengyun
About This Novel
The Qing Dynasty was the last dynasty of ancient Chinese society. Its political power was governed by a coalition of Manchu and Han bureaucracies, with Manchu nobles as the main body, and authoritarian centralization reached a very high level. The political system of the Qing Dynasty still centered on imperial power. Its system had both the common features of the traditional dynasties of the Central Plains and the characteristics of the Manchu nationality, allowing its rule to be maintained for nearly three hundred years. While previous research was based more on official history, the author of this book has conducted in-depth research on the politics and society of the Qing Dynasty, especially grassroots society, secret societies, and population mobility based on archival materials, and has made great achievements. This book is the culmination of the author's nearly thirty years of academic research and has important academic value.
