Abstract
Throughout human history, monarchies in different times and different regions tend to resort to certain mechanism to assert their legitimacy of rule. Some resort to military muscle to deter potential rivalry; others resort to religious influence to establish themselves as rulers selected by the gods. In terms of Chinese history, it is furring the region of Emperor Qianlong that the two methods were put to the ultimate exercise. This dissertation will comprise a detail discussion on the implementation of the above mentions approaches under Emperor Qianlong as a way to assert the political legitimacy of the time.
Emperor Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty was an able and distinguished leader who successfully focused his ethnic policy on Mongolians and Tibetans, thereby leading to the empire’s domination over these two ethnic regions. Much to Emperor Qianlong’s credit, the Qing Dynasty largely extended its territory. One of the factors that determined Emperor Qianlong’s achievement was that he successfully turned his own involvement in Tibetan Buddhism to his political benefit.
On more than one occasion Emperor Qianlong regarded himself as Manjusri Bodhisattva, which raises questions as to his motivation as well as his intention. What was Emperor Qianlong’s reason for claiming divine status? In addition, why did he choose to associate himself with Manjusri Bodhisattva among all the divine Buddhist figures? It is suffices to say that his appropriation of Manjusri Bodhisattva had a strong Buddhism foundation, which provided a source for his inspiration. Therefore, it is viable to believe that the image of Manjusri Bodhisattva had a great deal to do with how Emperor Qianlong ruled his empire. |
