Summary:
"Cultural and society in China between 1796 and 1912 demonstrated extraordinary resilience and creativity in the face of violence, land shortages and famine. Innovations proliferated across multiple forms (including print, painting, calligraphy, textiles, fashion, jewelry, ceramics, lacquer, glass, arms and armor) during a century in which China's art, literature, crafts and technology faced unprecedented exposure to global influences. 1796 -- the official end of the reign of the Qianlong emperor-- is viewed as the close of the 'high Qing' and the start of a period of protracted crisis. In 1912, bringing to an end some 2,000 years of dynastic rule and making way for the republic. Until recently the 19th century in China has been defined as an era of cultural stagnation. Built on new research, this book sets out a fresh understanding of this important era and creates a detailed visual account of responses to war, technology, urbani(z)ation, political transformations and external influences. The narratives of each chapter are brought to life and individuali(z)ed through illustrated biographical accounts that highlight the diversity of voices and experiences contributing to this fascinating, turbulent period in Chinese history."-- Publisher.
