A Court on Horseback - Imperial Touring & the Construction of Qing Rule, 1680-1785

Zusammenfassung Between 1751 and 1784, the Qianlong emperor embarked upon six southern tours—largely exercises in political theater—traveling from Beijing to Jiangnan and back. This study elucidates the tensions and negotiations characterizing the relationship between the imperial center and Jiangnan, which straddled the two key provinces of Jiangsu and Zhejiang.
