Year Date Event The Jiajing Emperor announces his intention to seclude himself for several 1540 September years to pursue immortality; a court official says this is nonsense and gets tortured to death [239]
Title taken from the source. Don't quote me on it
Now it's more than likely that the points brought up here are a complete crock of s---; but I found the contemporary view of China during the Warlord Era (just after the fall of the the Qing, but before the invasion of Japan and the rise of the CCP) by an outsider to be quite interesting, even if it is horribly biased. Ideally, it'd be nice to read about China from a Chinese perspective; but they burnt them all because Mao said "History Bad". If any of you want, the book in it's entirety <a href="https://babel.hathitrust.org/cgi/pt?id=mdp.39015003467712&view=1up&seq=1">can be found here</a>.
