On Jiangnan Area's Policy during Shunzhi Period of the Qing Dynasty
After the establishment of the capital in Beijing,the Emperor Shunzhi inherited and developed the policies about Han nationality during Nurhaci and Huangtaiji periods,which were manifested in Jiangnan area,with both menace and concilia-tion as its overall characteristics.The main methods of menace and intimidation included highlighting national culture,prohibiting lectures and associations,suppressing rebellion against the Qing Dynasty,and rectifying the order of thoughts.The main methods of conciliation and assimilation included treating former emperors with courtesy,respecting Confucian culture,electing talents through imperial examinations,and praising martyred officials.Through the strong implementation of the above-mentioned policies,the Qing government ultimately achieved the differentiation of scholars in Jiangnan area,and effectively controlled the Jiangnan area.
