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...
评分整体上是一本海外汉学家关于清朝的综述,对于熟稔清史的人来说可能没有新意,但是对我收获很多。 写作视角上弱化政治军事,侧重从社会生活入手。其中还不乏和现在传统史观相比“颠覆”的观点,从经济,官僚选任角度分析清朝治理偏向“小政府”,中央在治理地方的时候下放一部分...

评分开门见山,我发现了几个很有意思的点。 首先是“清朝自己也参与了帝国主义竞赛,而且至少在18世纪末前非常成功。在西方,历史学者已不再将中国描写成受害者或者一个特例,而是众多在大致上相同时期之亚欧大陆兴起的数个近代早期帝国之一”。毋庸置疑的,清朝奠定了近现代中国的...
评分最近几年,读书越发不求甚解了。花了几天功夫,这本书也只读了一半,越往后,读得越粗粗不堪。 作为一本通史下的朝代史,本书的写法确实有独到之处,与国内的政治史模式差异颇大。怎么看,都觉得是社会史融入了政治史,对清朝整个社会能有一个更加清晰的认识。然而其行文、其翻...

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.
