Description

Reexamine the historical narrative of pre-modern China with this scholarly work from Routledge. For a long time, many historians argued that China entered a period of technical decline after 1400. This book challenges that perspective by investigating the wealth of counterevidence that suggests the Ming and Qing dynasties remained powerful and vigorous. By looking at the relationship between technology, gender, and history, this volume offers a new way to understand the transformations of late imperial China. It moves beyond the simple story of a dying giant to explore how the country maintained its strength and complexity. This text is a valuable resource for those studying Asian history, sociology, and the evolution of technical societies. It provides a deep look at how social structures and technological developments shaped the Chinese empire during these critical eras.
