Curiously, the Annamese （or, Vietnamese） king NguygnQuangB]nh （阮光平）, who had just defeated the Qing army, offered to appear in Qing costume and kowtow to the Qing emperor. The unusual act pleased Emperor Qianlong and infuriated the Korean delegates. What did costume and ceremonial mean in the context of the East Asian political and cultural order？ Why did the British embassy to China led by Lord Macartney three years later cause friction with regards to sartorial and ceremonial manners？ This lecture will address these questions.展开更多
