History of Cultural Exchanges between Manchu and Han
by Dingyizhuang
About This Novel
The Manchus arose in Baishan and Heishui, and gradually grew stronger through intermarriage, trade, and integration with the Han and other ethnic groups. In 1644, they entered the Central Plains and established the Qing Dynasty. In order to consolidate their political power, the rulers of the Qing Dynasty vigorously promoted the "Manchu-Han family"; at the same time, in response to the rapid and widespread integration of the Manchu-Han ethnic groups, the rulers also proposed the policy of "Mandarin riding and shooting", hoping to maintain the ethnic characteristics of the Manchus amidst the great changes in society. However, the integration of nations and cultures cannot be prevented by a ban. Manchu customs, language, literature and other aspects have been greatly influenced by Han culture. In the cultural fusion, famous Manchu writers and artists such as Cao Xueqin, Nalan Xingde, and Yue Duan also emerged, leaving a profound mark in the history of Chinese literature and art. The Revolution of 1911 overthrew the rule of the Qing Dynasty, and the development of the Manchus entered a new historical stage. Especially after the founding of New China, the Manchus were able to develop as an independent nation as never before.
