Bol Partner When Yehonala entered the Forbidden City in 1851 she entered a feudal world in which the Manchu Emperor ruled all under heaven and China basked in a deluded belief in its own superiority. Foreigners were viewed as uncultivated barbarians and their ambassadors deemed mere tribute bearers. The Industrial Revolution, the hunger for trade and the Imperialism of the Western powers had passed China by. An approximate contemporary of Queen Victoria, Yehonala lived in a different world.By the end of Yehonala s reign, over fifty years later, China s preconceptions and wealth had been all but destroyed by the invasion of Western powers in pursuit of trade. Shortly after Yehanola s death, the Manchu Dynasty collapsed and China entered a long period of chaos. This book charts not only the life of an extraordinary woman, but also a clash of ideologies that led to the near destruction of a noble and ancient, if also at times, terrible, culture.
