...true Son of Heaven, fitting heir to the Chinese dynasties before him. Kangxi was a strong and effective leader who ventured throughout the empire to raise his profile among his subjects and to reinforce his absolute authority. A 26-m-long hand scroll, The Kangxi Emperor's Southern Inspection Tour, is a lively record of his 1689 voyage from Nanjing to Jinshan on the roiling Yangtze River.
