The Qing Dynasty was a controversial dynasty. It had the glorious scene of the "Kangxi and Qianlong Dynasties" and the sad record of the "Opium War"; it had the glory of recovering Taiwan and expelling Tsarist Russia, but also the humiliation of ceding land and indemnity, and the destruction of mountains and rivers; it had the founder of the country, the emperor of the world, the mediocre king, and even the fallen emperor. It inherited the feudal monarchy that lasted for thousands of years, and initiated the torrent of democratic republic.

Very good. The beginning to the end of the Qing Empire is very clearly written.
I think Huang Taiji is very powerful. He has achieved great achievements in military and political aspects. Moreover, I also learned the story of Nurhaci and Meng Guzhezhe. Their marriage is really special. This reminds me of the book "Kangxi Dynasty", which also tells the history of the Qing Dynasty. I find these historical stories interesting and inspiring. Have you read "Kangxi Dynasty"? We can discuss it together!
Good book, worth reading.
The general outline is okay. If you don't care too much about the details, it would be a relatively good book.

Something's not quite right, but it's still good
