This book is a must-read historical novel of the Qing Dynasty. It mainly tells the history of 294 years starting from the Manchu Qing Dynasty and ending with the abdication of Emperor Xuantong. For readers who like the history of the Qing Dynasty, this book is not to be missed. After the Manchus entered the customs, they became the second foreign power after the Mongols, and the territory of modern China was roughly determined. While the Western world was undergoing rapid changes due to the Industrial Revolution, the stagnant Qing Empire closed its doors to the outside world. The Opium War brought Chinese history into the category of modern history. For the next half century, the Qing Empire suffered from internal and external troubles. Although reforms such as the Westernization Movement and the Restoration were implemented later, they ended due to the obstruction of the conservative forces. The anti-foreign movement of the Boxer Rebellion led to the invasion of the Eight-Power Allied Forces, and the Qing Empire was unable to revive after the Boxer Indemnity. The Battle of Wuchang not only ended the Qing Empire's national lineage, but also ended the imperial era of more than two thousand years.
