Do you know anything about the Qing Dynasty?
The Qing Dynasty was the last feudal dynasty in China and the second minority regime in the history of China. In the Qing Dynasty, there was a scene of Kangxi's prosperity. At that time, the Qing dynasty was prosperous and the nation was prosperous. However, this situation lasted for about 40 years. In the late Qing dynasty, a series of policies, such as closing the country to the outside world, made its thoughts stagnate, science and technology fell behind, and eventually declined. Today we are going to learn about the culture of the Qing Dynasty.

/kloc-In the 7th century, the Manchu replaced Han Ming to rule China. On the premise of giving priority to Manchu nobles, the rulers of the Qing Dynasty adopted the policy of sinicization to a great extent. However, some scholars who study the history of Liao, Jin and Yuan Dynasties believe that the Qing Dynasty belongs to the conquering dynasty as well as Liao, Jin and Yuan Dynasties, and the depth and speed of sinicization are not as good as those of the infiltration dynasties such as the Northern Wei Dynasty. The Qing Dynasty only implemented the measures of sinicization that were beneficial to itself and preserved its own culture as much as possible. It was not a complete sinicization, but a two-way process.

/kloc-In the 0/8th century, European missionaries who went to China presented the picture of China to Europeans at that time. Since then, China has been surging in Europe. Europe is so eager for China in terms of material, culture and political system that in 1769, a European wrote: "China is more famous than some parts of Europe itself." The crazy pursuit of Chinese style was once a common fashion in European society at that time.

However, there are also negative voices in the West that the courts in China are too autocratic. At the end of Qianlong, Britain sent envoys to the Qing Dynasty. During his diplomatic failure and his return to China, Assistant Special Envoy Stendong learned that "there is amazing poverty everywhere ... people are in rags and even naked ... all the rubbish we throw away is eaten by people". Magal himself thinks: "People live under the meanest tyranny and fear of being hit by bamboo boards, so people are timid, dirty and cruel.

Since Kangxi, China culture, represented by Confucianism, has been vigorously promoted, and China traditional classics have become a compulsory course for Manchu people, including emperors. By the mid-Qianlong period, almost all Manchu people spoke Chinese as their mother tongue, and Manchu gradually became a pure written language, which was only used for official historical records. By the19th century, Manchu in official documents had been basically replaced by Chinese. However, some Confucian ideas were not fully accepted by the Qing emperors.

1840 The Sino-British Opium War broke out and foreign powers invaded. 1900 Eight-Nation Alliance completely turned China into a semi-colonial and semi-feudal society; 19 1 1 year, the Revolution of 1911 led by Sun Yat-sen and others completely disintegrated the rule of the Qing Dynasty.

In fact, the collapse of a dynasty is not a matter of one person and one thing, and there are many reasons. Rulers' ruling thoughts and methods are the foundation, and they can't just close their doors. Only by going abroad, learning more advanced technology and culture from other countries, strengthening our military strength and realizing all-round development can we have a prosperous and prosperous life.
