Game of Thrones in the Qing Palace: the Apocalypse of Two Female Rulers

From the white mountains and black waters to the dusk of the Forbidden City, a group of mortals have supported the fantasy of the empire for three hundred years. In 1616, Nurhaci raised an army with thirteen suits of armor and transformed the fishing and hunting tribe into the Eight Banners war machine. Xiaozhuang sneaked into the core of power through political marriage and promoted dynasty change. Kangxi died in 1722, and Yongzheng ascended the throne to implement reforms, but was stigmatized by unofficial historians. At this time, the Dream of Red Mansions had quietly predicted the fate of the Qing Dynasty. After the Old Summer Palace was burned in 1860, Cixi took power and acquiesced in the training of the Hunan Army while clinging to the old system. The fleet built by Li Hongzhang sank in the Yellow Sea and signed unequal treaties. There are shrewd calculations and absurd obsessions here. When gunfire rang out in Wuchang, Empress Dowager Longyu's abdication edict brought an end to the dynasty. Game of Thrones in the Qing Dynasty: The Apocalypse of Two Female Rulers shows how machinations and ideals, conservatism and change have torn apart and reshaped the empire over three hundred years.
