Description

Tzu Hsi, the last Empress of China, was an absolute autocrat who ruled a vast empire with an iron will. This intriguing book reveals Tzu Hsi's rise to power from her early life as the concubine of Emperor Hsein Feng through her years as a superb manipulator of family members & courtiers in order to stay in power. She was the last real ruler in a long line of the Qing Dynasty, the Manchu leaders who had conquered all of China in 1644 & reigned gloriously for nearly three centuries. That ending began with the intrusion of Western powers & ended with the abdication of the last Emperor, 5- year-old Pu Ti, in 1911. The book offers a general outline of the social mores at the court of the Empress. We are given glimpses of what occurred daily in the Imperial Court. The author, Dr. Syed Z. Ahmed, a documentary filmmaker & anthropologist, reveals the ceremonies of that time as well as clothing styles, furnishings, & the types of people who lived at the court. This book is a useful background guide to understanding present-day China & can be an ideal companion to the history student as well as teacher who may be seeking deeper understandings of Chinese thought & social activity during that period.
