Walravens H. Symbolism of sovereignty in the context of the Dzungar campaigns of the Qianlong emperor // Written Monuments of the Orient. 1(5), 2017. P. 73—90.
The Qianlong emperor (reigned 1736–1795) proved to be a master in
documenting and glorifying his military exploits and creating his own myth. He used a
variety of media (paintings, copper-engravings, inscriptions, books, hymns, parades,
ceremonies, banquets) for this purpose and would be considered today a master of
advertising and public relations.
The 4th International Academic Conference “The Written Heritage of the Orient” will be held at the IOM RAS on April 14 and 16, 2025. The conference program is now available.
