This book begins with the establishment of the Later Jin Dynasty by Nurhaci, and deeply explores the establishment and growth of the Qing Dynasty, covering the historical events, characters and culture of each period of the Qing Dynasty. The book not only focuses on major historical events, but also emphasizes the personalities and wisdom of governance behind history, and how the governance concepts of emperors such as Kangxi, Qianlong, Daoguang, and Xianfeng affected China's destiny and future. During this period of history, the Qing Dynasty's political system, economic model and cultural concepts were constantly faced with challenges from invasion by foreign powers, internal and external troubles. Through the description of each chapter, the book gradually presents a full picture of the Qing Dynasty, not only from the perspective of emperors, nobles, and scholars, but also from the perspective of ordinary people, showing the social landscape and people's sufferings of that era. After a series of twists and turns such as the Opium War, the Sino-Japanese War of 1891-1891, and the Taiping Rebellion, the Qing Dynasty finally fell under the impact of the Revolution of 1911 in 1911. Although this book deeply explores the historical background, major events and biographies of the Qing Dynasty, its greatest feature is its lighthearted and humorous language and humorous writing style. In the serious historical narrative, the book incorporates a large number of modern expressions, making the study of history no longer boring, but full of interest and readability.
