Great History of the Qing Dynasty

It is a history of the Qing Dynasty and half a history of the Ming Dynasty. Emperor Chongzhen's repeated mistakes in decision-making finally gave up thousands of miles of land to Huang Taiji. The rise of the Qing Dynasty is also the decline of the Ming Empire. Looking closely at this period of history, the tragic fate of so many heroes can't help but sigh and shed tears. "The Great History of the Qing Dynasty" breaks away from the narrow narrative of traditional Qing palace novels and takes the macro "big historical view" as the core. It panoramically writes the 276-year rise and fall epic of the Qing Dynasty from its rise outside the Pass, to its entry into the Pass and its demise, and restores the complete historical features of China's last feudal dynasty. This book abandons fragmented palace secrets and Machiavellian love, and takes the development of the dynasty as the axis, from Nurhaci unifying the Jurchens and laying the foundation for the country, to Shunzhi's entry into the Central Plains and Dingding, and then through the three generations of Kangxi, Yongzheng and Qianlong, they worked hard to govern, creating a vast territory and a blend of ethnic groups. It then experienced the decline of prosperity, official corruption, and people's livelihood difficulties, until the Opium War opened the door to the country, and internal and external troubles piled up one after another, and finally came to an end in the wave of the times, completely outlining the historical cycle of the Qing Dynasty's "establishment, residence, and bad emptiness". The book not only depicts the court affairs of emperors governing the country, courtiers' games, and frontier battles, but also focuses on civilian livelihoods, market fireworks, and cultural changes. It integrates core themes such as national systems, ethnic integration, and the spread of Western learning to the east into the narrative, taking into account the grand national destiny and individual joys and sorrows. It uses heavy writing to dismantle the deep logic of the rise and fall of the dynasty, and uses delicate descriptions to show the warmth and warmth of human nature in the historical torrent, allowing readers to escape from a single perspective, understand the inevitable rise and fall of the Qing Dynasty, and experience a panoramic history of the Qing Dynasty with pattern, temperature and depth.
