- The Forbidden City at 600 is a blockbuster lecture series exploring the 600th anniversary of this most famous Beijing complex.
About the Program:
During the 64 years of Qianlong’s rule during the 1700s, China’s population more than doubled, its territory increased by one-third, its cities flourished, and its manufactures - tea, silk, porcelain - became principal items of international commerce. Join us as we delve into the private life of one of China’s most illustrious rulers - a notorious builder, and prolific patron of the arts, who presided over one of the last golden ages of China’s Imperial Empire.
Speakers Include:
Nancy Berliner, PhD, a historian of Chinese art and architecture, is the Wu Teng Senior Curator of Chinese Art at the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston
Mark Elliott is Vice Provost of International Affairs at Harvard University and the Mark Schwartz Professor of Chinese and Inner Asian History in the Department of East Asian Languages and Civilizations and in the Department of History in the Faculty of Arts and Sciences
Henry Tzu Ng served for 15 years as the Executive Vice President of World Monuments Fund (WMF) and created its Institutional Initiatives program that expanded WMF’s mission in emerging geographic and programmatic areas of interest.

I would have loved to listen to Nancy for hours.

Wonderful documented lectures, I look forward to more of this.
Thank you!!
What an interesting lecture! Enjoyed every minute of it :)
Fifial piety was very important, the older you were in the palace as a royal the more respect was shown to you.
Do you have any paintings or pictures of his Step Empress Ulna Nàra. What do you know about her and why she fell out of favor with the Emperor Qiànloñg. Where would I find her historical history. Thank you for any pictures or historical history.
Apologies we do not.
@ kim hicks who doesn't want information on her now? I think her lore is becoming more outstanding in comparison to Qianlong. For the highest ranked women to go "missing" and essentially be written out during such a prosperous time is beyond mysterious.
@@Ashley-vs8nu We need a detective on this. Finally I did see a painting that was believed to be Step Empress Ulanara. She was pretty and looked a little like Ruyi in the mini series
I thought her all portraits were destroyed
@@riyashah7486 It was said historically he destroyed he4 pictures and everything related to her but in my search their was a picture of someone else's picture that was believe to be her and also some group drawings she was thought to be in. If they were her it was probably taken when she was in her teens before she married him when she was 16 when she married him. She was probably a concubine at a very early age in the Forbidden City before she became Step Empress
Qinglong was cute, not fat like the other emperors
