Court Life in China: The Capital Its Officials and People in 1910
ByISAAC TAYLOR HEADLAND Professor Peking University
Usually printed in 3 - 5 business days
Until within the past ten years a study of Chinese court life
would have been an impossibility. The Emperor, the Empress
Dowager, and the court ladies were shut up within the Forbidden
City, away from a world they were anxious to see, and which was
equally anxious to see them. Then the Emperor instituted reform,
the Empress Dowager came out from behind the screen, and the
court entered into social relations with Europeans.
