505 | 8 | |a Main Description:The reign of Emperor Jiaqing (1796-1820 CE) has long occupied an awkward position in studies of China's last dynasty, the Qing (1644-1911 CE). Conveniently marking a watershed between the prosperous eighteenth century and the tragic post-Opium War era, this quarter century has nevertheless been glossed over as an unremarkable interlude separating two well-studied epochs of great transformation. White Lotus Rebels and South China Pirates presents a major reassessment of this misunderstood period by examining how the emperors, bureaucrats, and foreigners responded to the two crises that shaped the transition from the Qianlong to the Jiaqing reign. Wensheng Wang argues that the dramatic combination of internal uprising and transnational piracy, rather than being a hallmark of inexorable dynastic decline, propelled the Manchu court to reorganize itself through a series of modifications in policymaking and bureaucratic structure. The resulting Jiaqing reforms initiated a process of state retreat that pulled the Qing Empire out of a cycle of aggressive overextension and resistance, and back onto a more sustainable track of development. Although this pragmatic striving for political sustainability was unable to save the dynasty from ultimate collapse, it represented a durable and constructive approach to the compounding problems facing the late Qing regime and helped sustain it for another century. As one of the most comprehensive accounts of the Jiaqing reign, White Lotus Rebels and South China Pirates provides a fresh understanding of this significant turning point in China's long imperial history | |

Conveniently marking a watershed between the prosperous eighteenth century and the tragic post-Opium War era, this quarter century has nevertheless been glossed over as an unremarkable interlude separating two well-studied epochs of great transformation. White Lotus Rebels and South China Pirates presents a major reassessment of this misunderstood period by examining how the emperors, bureaucrats, and foreigners responded to the two crises that shaped the transition from the Qianlong to the Jiaqing reign. Wensheng Wang argues that the dramatic combination of internal uprising and transnational piracy, rather than being a hallmark of inexorable dynastic decline, propelled the Manchu court to reorganize itself through a series of modifications in policymaking and bureaucratic structure. The resulting Jiaqing reforms initiated a process of state retreat that pulled the Qing Empire out of a cycle of aggressive overextension and resistance, and back onto a more sustainable track of development. Although this pragmatic striving for political sustainability was unable to save the dynasty from ultimate collapse, it represented a durable and constructive approach to the compounding problems facing the late Qing regime and helped sustain it for another century. As one of the most comprehensive accounts of the Jiaqing reign, White Lotus Rebels and South China Pirates provides a fresh understanding of this significant turning point in China's long imperial history Qing Renzong China, Kaiser 1760-1820 (DE-588)1048292797 gnd rswk-swf White Lotus Rebellion (China : 1796-1804) fast Weißer Lotos (DE-588)4288779-3 gnd rswk-swf 1796-1899 fast Geschichte 1800-1900 Geschichte 1796-1804 gnd rswk-swf Geschichte 1796-1820 gnd rswk-swf HISTORY / Asia / China bisacsh Piracy fast Politics and government fast Geschichte Politik Piracy South China Sea History 19th century Politik (DE-588)4046514-7 gnd rswk-swf Aufstand (DE-588)4003554-2 gnd rswk-swf Seeräuberei (DE-588)4128013-1 gnd rswk-swf Reform (DE-588)4115716-3 gnd rswk-swf Asien China Süd (DE-588)4090398-9 gnd rswk-swf Qing Renzong China, Kaiser 1760-1820 (DE-588)1048292797 p Politik (DE-588)4046514-7 s Reform (DE-588)4115716-3 s 1\p DE-604 China Süd (DE-588)4090398-9 g Seeräuberei (DE-588)4128013-1 s Geschichte 1796-1820 z 2\p DE-604 Weißer Lotos (DE-588)4288779-3 b Aufstand (DE-588)4003554-2 s Geschichte 1796-1804 z 3\p DE-604 Erscheint auch als Druck-Ausgabe Wang, Wensheng, 1976- White Lotus rebels and south China pirates 1\p cgwrk 20201028 DE-101 https://d-nb.info/provenance/plan#cgwrk 2\p cgwrk 20201028 DE-101 https://d-nb.info/provenance/plan#cgwrk 3\p cgwrk 20201028 DE-101 https://d-nb.info/provenance/plan#cgwrk |
