The Manchus (now known as the Manchus) are one of the oldest ethnic groups in the Chinese nation. In the early 16th century, on the basis of the Jurchen state, a new Manchu national community was formed by absorbing some ethnic groups such as the Jurchen tribes, Mongols, Koreans, and Nikan (Han people). The "Eight Banners Genealogy of Manchu Clan" is an "imperial" code of organization, culture, and psychological identity of Manchu tribes. It demonstrates that Manchuria "is the foundation of the country" and provides the basis for "the first worship of Manchuria." The Manchu aristocrats not only adhered to the characteristics of their own nation and implemented "Manchuization" for new members; at the same time, they promoted "Han culture" and continued the unity of Chinese civilization, achieving the dual construction of the tribe. The major adjustment of cultural strategy was the key to the Qing Dynasty's ability to maintain its rule for more than two and a half centuries.
Reader comments
The book also mentions the "code" "Eight Banners Genealogy of Manchu Clan", which is very helpful for understanding the cultural and psychological identity of Manchuria. Couriers run through the streets of the city every day and come into contact with different people and cultures. This book made me better understand and respect the cultures of different ethnic groups, and also made me realize the importance of ethnic integration.
