Free Download A Concise History of the Qing Dynasty: Volume 4 By Dai Yi
2012 | 352 Pages | ISBN: 9814332216 | PDF | 12 MB
The Qing Dynasty was a feudal institution established by the upper dominant class of the Manchu ethnic minority-and the last of the feudal autocratic monarchy dynasties in China's long history. This book provides an account of the history of the Manchurian rise, their peak and decline, and their eventual demise, but, above all, it is an account of the significant history of the development, creation, and struggle for a modern China.Spread across four volumes, this record begins with the ancestry and rise of Manchu and ends at the Opium War in 1840, after which China entered the modern historical period and great revolutionary changes took place in society that were fundamentally different from those of the early and mid-Qing Dynasty.

Free Download A Concise History of the Qing Dynasty: Volume 1 By Dai Yi; Yi Dai
2011 | 296 Pages | ISBN: 9814332186 | PDF | 50 MB
The Qing Dynasty was a feudal institution established by the upper dominant class of the Manchu ethnic minority; it was also the last of the feudal autocratic monarchy dynasties in China's long history. This account presents the history of the Manchurian rise, flourishing, decline, and demise and details the development, creation, and struggle for a modern China. Divided into four volumes, this valuable record begins with the ancestors of the Manchu and the Manchu ascendance and ends with the Opium War in 1840. It argues that as China entered the modern historical period, great and revolutionary changes took place in society-changes that were fundamentally different from those of the early and mid-Qing Dynasty.

Literary Representations of Christianity in Late Qing and Republican China By John T P Lai
2019 | 200 Pages | ISBN: 9004394117 | PDF | 6 MB
Literary Representations of Christianity in Late Qing and Republican China contributes to the "literary turn" in the study of Chinese Christianity by foregrounding the importance of literary texts, including the major genres of Chinese Christian literature (novels, drama and poetry) of the late Qing and Republican periods. These multifarious types of texts demonstrated the multiple representations and dynamic scenes of Christianity, where Christian imageries and symbolism were transformed by linguistic manipulation into new contextualized forms which nurtured distinctive new fruits of literature and modernized the literary landscape of Chinese literature. The study of the composition and poetics of Chinese Christian literary works helps us rediscover the concerns, priorities, textual strategies of the Christian writers, the cross-cultural challenges involved, and the reception of the Bible.

The Ideological Foundations of Qing Taxation: Belief Systems, Politics, and Institutions
English | 2023 | ISBN: 131651868X | 441 Pages | PDF | 4 MB
How states develop the capacity to tax is a question of fundamental importance to political science, legal theory, economics, sociology, and history. Increasingly, scholars believe that China's relative economic decline in the 18th and 19th centuries was related to its weak fiscal institutions and limited revenue. This book argues that this fiscal weakness was fundamentally ideological in nature. Belief systems created through a confluence of traditional political ethics and the trauma of dynastic change imposed unusually deep and powerful constraints on fiscal policymaking and institutions throughout the final 250 years of China's imperial history. Through the Qing example, this book combs through several interaction dynamics between state institutions and ideologies. The latter shapes the former, but the former can also significantly reinforce the political durability of the latter. In addition to its historical analysis of ideological politics, this book makes a major contribution to the longstanding debate on Sino-European divergence.
