This book is rich in content and vividly depicts the rise and fall of the Qing Dynasty. I especially like the description of the "Kangxi and Qianlong Dynasties" in the book, which shows the prosperity of that era. Moreover, the book is richly illustrated and well-written, making it not boring to read at all. As the book says: "The Qing Dynasty was the pinnacle of the development of China's feudal society and the end of the feudal autocratic monarchy." Recommended to friends who are interested in the history of the Qing Dynasty!
