China's Last Empire pdf epub mobi txt 電子書 下載 2024
In a brisk revisionist history, William Rowe challenges the standard narrative of Qing China as a decadent, inward-looking state that failed to keep pace with the modern West.
The Great Qing was the second major Chinese empire ruled by foreigners. Three strong Manchu emperors worked diligently to secure an alliance with the conquered Ming gentry, though many of their social edicts—especially the requirement that ethnic Han men wear queues—were fiercely resisted. As advocates of a “universal” empire, Qing rulers also achieved an enormous expansion of the Chinese realm over the course of three centuries, including the conquest and incorporation of Turkic and Tibetan peoples in the west, vast migration into the southwest, and the colonization of Taiwan.
Despite this geographic range and the accompanying social and economic complexity, the Qing ideal of “small government” worked well when outside threats were minimal. But the nineteenth-century Opium Wars forced China to become a player in a predatory international contest involving Western powers, while the devastating uprisings of the Taiping and Boxer rebellions signaled an urgent need for internal reform. Comprehensive state-mandated changes during the early twentieth century were not enough to hold back the nationalist tide of 1911, but they provided a new foundation for the Republican and Communist states that would follow.
This original, thought-provoking history of China’s last empire is a must-read for understanding the challenges facing China today.
William T. Rowe is John and Diane Cooke Professor of Chinese History at Johns Hopkins University
新清史handbook
評分Fast-paced and highly readable, especially its introduction, although catered towards an American readership of course.
評分絕好復習書⋯⋯historiography more than history.
評分整套書讀下來最喜歡這一本,因為作者把知識性和理論性做瞭非常好的平衡。作為相對嚴肅的通史類讀物,這套書基本完成瞭知識普及的任務,但各本之間差異不小。陸威儀那三本專題性強,並不適閤對中國曆史一無所知的人。庫恩那本側重描述和復原曆史,問題意識不明顯。蔔正民那本獨齣機杼,作為通史的組成部分其實是不閤格的(當然,人傢也沒說是通史)。到瞭羅威廉這一本,我隻能用“標準”這個詞來形容!從introduction就看得齣來,前5本真的就是概括或者簡介而已,但這一本是專業的survey!章節設置既涵蓋瞭有清一代的重要事件和重要問題,又不像教材那樣死闆。在具體講述中作者還會穿插介紹學界就某一問題的主要看法,在增強學術色彩的同時,也能看齣作者力求不偏不倚。
評分很有興趣想把這本書的前言翻譯齣來。。。不過,就怕又是浪費時間。。。就像當年翻譯衛周安的那篇《新清史》一樣,自以為是,結果忙瞭好半個月,發現早有人翻譯發錶瞭。。。
清朝成为中国封建制度的最后一个帝国。从1644年清军入关到1911年清朝灭亡,满洲人统治天下268年,也是少数民族入住中原时间最长的一个。《哈佛中国史06•最后的中华帝国:大清》以全面的视角看一个帝国从封建制度逐渐打开国门,与世界接近。 作者罗威廉,当代美国最有影响的...
評分清朝是距离现代中国最近的一个帝制王朝,也是我们对于中国历史了解最多的一个朝代,清史因其与近现代中国史的承继性而得到越来越多人的关注与研究。而对于这段历史的研究也对于现代中国发展的思路不无裨益。 在《最后的中华帝国:大清》中,作者罗威廉依然选取了政治制...
評分不要被书名吓到,其实是并不长的一本书。大概是文化传统差异,中国人写历史喜欢饱含情感的以人物和事件为线索一条条写下来。外国人写中国历史或许因为其理性思维,或许是因为旁观者的立场,更像是手术刀式的解剖,俯瞰,注重功能和细节。举几个有意思的点: 其一,作者认为17.18...
評分 評分在目前中国所有的历史课本上,划分古代史与近代史的界限是1840年的鸦片战争,包括很多研究机构的划分与安排也是遵从这个分界线的。这个分界线的来历是哈佛费正清教授的观点,被近代中国历史研究者认可,由于这种划分具备上佳的政治效果,因此很快就成为政治上正确的分界。一旦...
