The Eighteenth Year of Jiaqing: the Decline of the Qing Dynasty

Yan Liaoyuan

157K0

Jiaqing was an emperor with a rather low sense of existence. When people mentioned him, what people could think of was the phrase Heshen fell and Jiaqing was full. What Jiaqing took over from his father Qianlong, who was overjoyed at success, loved ostentation, and indulged in hedonism in his later years, was a world where the external airs were not much reduced, but the internal pockets were exhausted, as well as a corrupt and eroded bureaucracy. As a mediocre and declining leader, he has neither the ability to carry out drastic reforms nor the courage to change the status quo of bureaucrats. He can only watch the country's irreparable decline. "The Eighteen Years of Jiaqing: The Decline of the Qing Dynasty" takes the power transfer between Qianlong and Jiaqing, the liquidation of Heshen and other historical events as the entry point, and shows the Chinese society in the Jiaqing era from multiple levels such as politics, economy, culture, military, as well as Jiaqing's personal character and ruling style.

The Emperor of the Northern Wei Dynasty on Black Felt (revised Edition)

Luo Xin

70K0

The emperors of the Northern Wei Dynasty were not only the emperors of the Chinese imperial state, but also the khans of the nomadic conquest groups in Inner Asia. Their historical activities were the collision, fusion and rebirth of multiple cultural traditions. The so-called "old capital system" of the Northern Wei Dynasty is clearly part of the Inner Asian tradition. This book starts from the Daibei factors in the Northern Wei emperor's enthronement ceremony, and extends it to the Heaven-sacrifice ceremony in the Northern Wei Dynasty, the power inheritance crisis in the early Liao Dynasty, the Tangzi's sacrifice to Heaven in the Qing Dynasty, etc. On the one hand, it observes the encounter, collision and variation between the Tuoba Xianbei political tradition and the Chinese tradition, and on the other hand, it examines the connection between the old Xianbei customs (the old capital system) and Inner Asia's political tradition. The inward-migrating Inner Asian people who played an important role in Chinese history were, on the one hand, deeply influenced by Chinese culture, and on the other hand, they inherited and adhered to some Inner Asian cultural traditions to a greater or lesser extent. Quite a few of these Inner Asian traditions have been forgotten or deformed in historical records, making them vague and difficult to identify. Therefore, cleaning up these remaining clues has become a task that can fully demonstrate the diversity and richness of history. There is undoubtedly huge room for rereading history from an Inner Asian perspective.

Of course, there are also many people swept by the stormy waves of the times. We pay attention to ordinary people in distant times because they are part of real history.
