"This book intensively examines China's autocracy during the Yung-cheng reign (1723-1735), a crucial period of the Ching dynasty and a climactic development of the traditional Chinese state. With both coercive and persuasive methods, the Yung-cheng Emperor was able to reshape all the influential political forces - aristocracy, bureaucracy, and the local elite - after his ideal.....This authoritative and carefully documented study will be immensely useful to anyone interested in Chinese social, political, and institutional history of any period and not merely of the eighteenth century."
