The transition from the Ming to the Qing dynasties in seventeenth-century China has long been depicted as a period of rupture. However, as Harry Miller demonstrates in this follow-up to his earlier study of the late Ming era, the shift was a much more complex one. Combining new archival and rare book research with a brisk, engaging narrative, it examines the humiliation of the Chinese gentry at the hands of the statist Oboi regents as well as the Kangxi emperor's self-declared Confucian sagehood in the 1670s, which effectively trumped the gentry's claim to sovereignty. Though undeniably violent and chaotic at times, the emergence of the Qing empire also exhibited significant continuities with Ming political and social structures. Miller's deft and nuanced portrait of the relationship between the two makes this a fresh and important study for scholars of Chinese and Asian history.
