Making extensive use of Chinese, Japanese, Manchu, and Western sources, the author adopts a historical multifaceted approach to explore the various forces—geography; economics; frontier contacts; political and social institutions; language, literature, and art; religion and Confucianism—that made possible the Manchu adoption of Chinese ways of life.
