It probes some key factors that led to the rise of High Qing in the 18th century and its subsequent decline in the 19th century. It is widely known that the Qianlong emperor, in his last years, was responsible in weakening his powerful empire, but there have been arguments on the extent to which his successor&#8217;s careful and conservative reforms helped restore order to imperial governance. The author, Wang Wensheng goes further than previous studies in identifying not only the White Lotus Rebellions of 1796\u20131804 but also the South China pirate attacks of 1802\u20131810 as relevant events in understanding the limits of Jiaqing&#8217;s reforms.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Download<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/ijaps.usm.my\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/IJAPS-102-2014-Art-7-201-204.pdf\">Download full article (PDF).<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dropbox.com\/s\/uxe6mvlv1mmsyzq\/IJAPS_10_2_9.epub?dl=0\">Download full article (EPUB).<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Vol. 10, No. 2 (2014): 201-204 White Lotus Rebels and South China Pirates: Crisis and Reform in the Qing Empire.
