About the author(s):

Description:

The author adheres to the overall view of history and organically integrates the wartime financial assistance action in the late Qing Dynasty with the study of non-financial issues. He pays attention to the wartime financial assistance system and its operation in Emperor Xianfeng, Emperor Tongzhi and the early Emperor Guangxu period, as well as various non-financial issues and factors outside of systems, such as the process of war, personal connections, regional interests, international relations, and public opinion interventions in Chinese and foreign media, etc. Each field influences and restricts each other. The book follows the macroscopic and microscopic approach, and accurately grasps the financial and non-financial factors, combing the upper and lower affiliated institutions, the central and provincial levels in the financial evolution, truthfully narrates the intentions, words and deeds of the parties involved in the incident, and presents the evolution of the financial system during the war in the late Qing Dynasty.
