	CHINA: THE THREE EMPERORS, 1662-1795: The Yongzheng Emperor (r.1723–1735)
		The Yongzheng Emperor’s official persona was that of a distant, secretive and ruthless monarch, who is still considered not nearly as interesting a historical figure as his father or his son.
		Since those seemingly intimate representations of the emperors at leisure, known as ‘pictures of pleasurable activities’ (xingle tu), were conscious manifestations of a personality, the choice of activities depicted is emblematic.
		The Yongzheng Emperor’s fascination with antiquity, his collecting of antiques and the resulting passion for archaism on the one hand, and his personal taste, demand for quality, and engagement of contemporary craftsmen on the other, gave Qing art its identity and shaped our idea of Chinese art in general.

		AD69 : The Year of four Emperors, by Gwyn Morgan, reads like a commentary of Tacitus as a classical author as much as it does as a commentary of the events discussed.
		All the major events are covered, and for one not having read "The Histories", were depicted wonderfully, and often in the words of Tacitus himself.
		Morgan for the most part does resist the temptation to make sweeping generalizations, and carefully weighs one authors account against another, and then combined with other factors such as inscriptions about the men involved and any potential author bias, puts forth his case strongly demonstrating clearly why and how he has reached his conclusions.
