China's imperial era ended with the collapse of the Tsing (Qing or Manchu) dynasty in 1911. Memorable for its cultural efflorescence, the dynasty was gradually undermined by political weakness, rebellion and Western imperialism. This study looks at the ways taxation was administered during this complicated and turbulent era. Chen outlines the structure of the imperial government, then looks at ways it taxed land, salt and commodities.
