In 1644, the Manchus, a relatively unknown people inhabiting China’s rude northeastern frontier, overthrew the Ming, Asia’s mightiest rulers, and established the Qing dynasty, which endured to 1912. From this event arises one of Chinese history’s great conundrums: How did a barely literate alien people manage to remain in power for nearly 300 years over a highly cultured population that was vastly superior in number? This problem has fascinated scholars for almost a century, but until now no one has approached the question from the Manchu point of view.
This book, the first in any language to be based mainly on Manchu documents, supplies a radically new perspective on the formative period of the modern Chinese nation. Drawing on recent critical notions of ethnicity, the author explores the evolution of the “Eight Banners,” a unique Manchu system of social and military organization that was instrumental in the conquest of the Ming.
The author argues that as rulers of China the Manchu conquerors had to behave like Confucian monarchs, but that as a non-Han minority they faced other, more complex considerations as well. Their power derived not only from the acceptance of orthodox Chinese notions of legitimacy, but also, the author suggests, from Manchu “ethnic sovereignty,” which depended on the sustained coherence of the conquerors.
When, in the early 1700s, this coherence was threatened by rapid acculturation and the prospective loss of Manchu distinctiveness, the Qing court, always insecure, desperately urged its minions to uphold the traditions of an idealized “Manchu Way.” However, the author shows that it was not this appeal but rather the articulation of a broader identity grounded in the realities of Eight Banner life that succeeded in preserving Manchu ethnicity, and the Qing dynasty along with it, into the twentieth century.

欧立德的成名作,新清史四书之一。对于本书内容的讨论,很多友邻已经分析的很好了,我提一下我个人的观点,我认为比起指望着新清史解决问题,不如分析新清史提出的问题。比如只针对本书:满洲人是什么时候形成了身份认同的,满洲人与中国人的认同是否冲突等等。

读的第一本英文书,论述满洲统治问题和形成问题做得十分成功,至少很大程度上可以说服我,以重新认识"征服王朝"。当然其中将满汉对立做到了极致与实际可能不符,不过学术的"片面深刻"与"矫枉过正"未必不是一途,至少其在学术史的地位应是无可置疑的。而用chinese称汉人以与manchu相对很可能会导向一种满洲本非中国的思维,从而导致政治上的问题,但作者自然并无这样的企图,要人家美国人坚持中国的政治正确未免... 读的第一本英文书,论述满洲统治问题和形成问题做得十分成功,至少很大程度上可以说服我,以重新认识"征服王朝"。当然其中将满汉对立做到了极致与实际可能不符,不过学术的"片面深刻"与"矫枉过正"未必不是一途,至少其在学术史的地位应是无可置疑的。而用chinese称汉人以与manchu相对很可能会导向一种满洲本非中国的思维,从而导致政治上的问题,但作者自然并无这样的企图,要人家美国人坚持中国的政治正确未免强人所难。而只有当你认真读过别人的书你才有权利批评 (展开)

“The banner system is a "structuring, transposable structure" generating the practices and representations that patterned Manchu lives.”作为对自己师祖费正清、魏斐德的反动,本书不再从海上,而是从内亚视角看待清代。向冈田英弘求学的经历显然在欧立德身上留下深深的烙印,... “The banner system is a "structuring, transposable structure" generating the practices and representations that patterned Manchu lives.”作为对自己师祖费正清、魏斐德的反动,本书不再从海上,而是从内亚视角看待清代。向冈田英弘求学的经历显然在欧立德身上留下深深的烙印,激励他积极从“征服王朝论”与满文史料探讨清朝的性质。作为对八旗制度的详尽探讨,欧立德认为八旗是用来保持满族身份的组织,尤其是在清代中后期,清朝通过八旗的制度化运作,区分在生活、文化上已经无法与汉人区分的满人。在这一过程中,“旗人”的含义也逐渐与“满人”同化。 (展开)

用词多样。对于八旗的实证研究做得不错,最后讨论nation和ethnicity的问题就略玄了,如果要说明清的属性还有很多论证要做

八旗制度是保证满洲纯洁性和战斗性的根本制度保障。自圣主登基以来,朝廷高度重视旗建工作,多次强调要全面推进旗要管旗、从严治旗,对受柔弱汉文化腐蚀的满洲人要坚决清理出旗人队伍。从严从实推进旗人登记造册工作,严防混进旗人队伍里的汉人,永葆旗人纯洁性。
