Embassies And Illusions: Dutch And Portuguese Envoys To K'ang Hsi, 1666-1687 by John E. Wills Jr.
Requirements: .PDF reader, 46.9 Mb
Overview: From archival and printed sources in seven languages, John Wills traces the progress of four embassies - two Dutch, two Portuguese - to the court of K'ang-hsi. He has constructed fascinating pictures of the ambassadors and their staffs, their difficulties in their ports of arrival, the long journeys to Peking, the ceremonies at the court, the gifts exchanged, the influence of Jesuits resident in Peking, and, of special interest, the young Emperor in the early years of his reign. Contexts of Ch'ing court and provincial politics and of Dutch and Portuguese relations with China also are clearly described.
