Greatest golden eras in Asian civilisation ever .....

[Ramseth]

The long reign of Emperor Kangxi and his grandson Qianlong of 120 years can be considered one of the golden periods in Chinese history. The cruel Yongzheng ruled in between for 13 years only, lucky for China.

Qianlong was overrated as he inherited what Kangxi and Yongzheng built up. Kangxi reclaimed Taiwan and extended the empire across Tibet all the way to the Kashmir border. Yongzheng was over-demonised as a tyrant when in actual fact he wasn't. Yongzheng crushed the Mongolian rebellion from which Mongolia has never recovered as a power and threat to China ever since. He executed many stubborn Han loyalists and revivalists as seditionists, yes. But not just by executions, it was also by civil policies with which he completed Kangxi's project of Manchu-Han one family, convincing the majority of Han Chinese and that the Manchu reign would be fair in everybody's best interest. It was remarkable achievement in 13 years. What Qianlong took over was already a stabilised and prospering empire. There was nothing much for him to do in 60 years.
