Jiaqing Emperor - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Son of the famous Qianlong Emperor, he is remembered for his prosecution of Heshen (和珅), the infamously corrupt favorite of Qianlong Emperor(Gaozong), as well as for attempts to restore the state and curb the smuggling of opium inside China. This novelty was introduced by his father the Qianlong Emperor who thought it not proper to have a whole generation of people changing their names on his son's accession to the throne. Emperor Jiaqing engaged in pacification of the empire and quelling of rebellions, and he tried to bring the country back to its 18th century prosperity and power; but due to large outflows of silver out of the country because of the opium smuggled inside China from British India, the economy was in decline. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Jiaqing_Emperor_of_China   (742 words)

Encyclopedia: Qing Empire   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21) China's turbulent history since the overthrow of the Qing may be understood at least in part as an attempt to understand and recover significant aspects of historic Chinese culture and integrate them with influential new ideas that have emerged within the last century. China, for instance, was not a backward country unable to secure the prerequisite stability and security for western-style commerce, but a highly advanced empire unwilling to admit western (often drug-pushing) commerce, which may explain the West's contentment with informal 'Spheres of Influences'. During the Qianlong Emperor's reign, for example, members of his family were distinguished by garments with a large circular emblem on the back, whereas a Han could only hope to wear clothing with a square emblem; this meant effectively that any guard in the court could immediately distinguish family members from the back view alone. www.nationmaster.com /encyclopedia/Qing-Empire   (4546 words)
