To prepare for this lesson, the students will read for homework the sections on "The Emperors", "The State" and "The Economy" on the Recording the Grandeur website, http://afe.easia.columbia.edu/qing/index.html.
(Have the students cut and paste this url. They can then click on each of these titled sections to access the PDF with information on the "Emperors", "State", and the "Economy", respectively. Print and copy the PDF files for those students without internet access.)
