Funded Activity Summary

Manchu Rivers and Mountains: rediscovering the Bannerman cultural world of nineteenth-century China and its modern heritage. The late-imperial history of China is the subject of unprecedented popular and specialist interest both in China and internationally. This Project marks an innovative Australian contribution to Chinese culture and history, mapping the cultural and social landscape of the ruling elite. As Australia engages more seriously with the Chinese world in its full complexity and historical depth, we provide insights into the functioning of elite cultural practice during the height and initial decline of dynastic China. At a time when the dynastic past is valued positively once more in China, the Project will have lasting historical value and focus international attention on a rich area that relates to the articulation of the country's 'soft power'.
