Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the fascinating history of China during the 17th century and the early part of the 18th century, focusing on the reign of Kang-He, one of the most influential emperors in Chinese history. The author, drawing from both Chinese and Jesuit accounts of the era, examines Kang-He's rise to power amidst the tumultuous period of the Manchu conquest. The book traces the path of the Manchu people from their nomadic origins in the north, through their gradual conquest of China, culminating in the establishment of the Qing Dynasty. The reader will gain a unique perspective on the political climate, social structures, and cultural dynamics that shaped this transition, particularly the complex relationship between the Manchu conquerors and the Chinese populace. The author skillfully blends the narrative of Kang-He's reign with an analysis of the challenges he faced, including the suppression of internal rebellions and the constant threat of foreign invasion. The book also highlights the cultural and intellectual exchanges that took place during this period, including the emperor's interest in Western science and the influence of Jesuit missionaries at his court. The book provides an invaluable glimpse into the political, social, and cultural landscape of a pivotal period in Chinese history, offering a deeper understanding of the forces that shaped the dynasty and the enduring legacy of Kang-Heââ â¢s reign.
