内容简介······
1861年，咸丰皇帝逃往承德，并死于避暑山庄。为了壮大国力，摆脱面对西方的弱势局面，在慈禧和奕䜣的带领下，大清王朝开启了自上而下的变革之路。
改革之路，并非一帆风顺，通过总理衙门的创设、同文馆的建立、近代海关系统的引入、洋务军工企业的创办、外交使团的西行、广学会的成立、废除武举、昆明湖里练兵等事件，大清并未走向愿望中的强大，而是一步步走向了帝国的灭亡。
在1861-1911这五十年里，有许多历史人物值得关注和研究，如缺乏理政常识的太后、连汉献帝都不如的光绪、被逐离政坛的恭亲王等权谋与争斗不绝如缕的清廷高层；还有深埋改革主张的冯桂芬、选择性“开眼看世界”的斌椿、时代的出局者徐继畬、身陷教案的曾国藩等有挣扎但又怯懦的官僚士大夫；同时也有挑战君权神圣的严复、要做陈涉的官二代谭嗣同等图变图强的有识之士；也有在天下观与国家观的碰撞时，作为惨淡时代中流砥柱，但又困于传统礼教之中难以自拔的乡绅；以及生活本就已经支离破碎、濒临崩溃的底层民众。

Content introduction
In 1861, Emperor Xianfeng fled to Chengde and died in the summer resort. In order to increase its power and rid itself of weakness in the West, the Qing Dynasty, led by Cixi and yi Xin, embarked on a path of change from top to bottom.
The road to reform was not smooth sailing. Through the establishment of the Prime Minister's Yemen, the establishment of the Tongwen Museum, the introduction of the modern customs system, the establishment of westernized military enterprises, the westward movement of diplomatic missions, the establishment of the Guanghui Association, the abolition of the martial arts examination, and the training of soldiers in Kunming Lake, the Qing Dynasty did not become powerful as desired, but gradually moved toward the demise of the empire.
In the fifty years from 1861 to 1911, there are many historical figures worthy of attention and research, such as the Empress Dowager who lacks political knowledge, Guangxu who is not even as good as the Emperor of Han Dynasty, and Prince Gong who was expelled from the political field. There are Feng Guifen who deeply buried the idea of reform, Bin Toon who selectively "opened his eyes to the world", Xu Jiyu who was out of The Times, Zeng Guofan who was caught in the teaching plan, and other struggling but cowardly bureaucrats and scholars; At the same time, there are also people of insight who challenge the sanctity of the monarchy, such as Yan Fu, Tan Sitong, who wants to be Chen's second generation of officials, and so on. There are also the squires who, as the mainstay of the bleak times, are trapped in the traditional rites and cannot extricate themselves when the world view collides with the state view. And those at the bottom whose lives are already broken and on the verge of collapse.
