    The Qing Dynasty was the last imperial dynasty in China, ruling from 1644 to 1912. It was established after Manchurian forces defeated the Ming army in 1616 and occupied northern Chinese cities. The Qing Dynasty was notable for its initial prosperity but turbulent final years, and for being the second non-Han ruling of China. Many Han Chinese faced discrimination under Qing rule and were required to adopt Manchu customs or risk execution. However, the long-reigning Emperor Kangxi oversaw cultural developments like standardizing the Chinese language and creating extensive maps of the country during his 61-year rule from 1662 to 1722.

    Qing Dynasty

    The Qing Dynasty was the final imperial dynasty in China, lasting from 1644 to 1912. It was an era noted
    for its initial prosperity and tumultuous final years, and for being only the second time that China was not
    ruled by the Han people.

    Fall of the Ming Dynasty

    Near the end of the Ming Dynasty in 1616, Manchurian forces from northeastern Asia defeated the Ming
    army and occupied several cities on China’s northern border.

    Many of the new Han subjects faced discrimination. Han men were required to cut their hair in Mongolian
    fashion or face execution. Han intellectuals attempted to criticize the rulers through literature; many were
    rounded up and beheaded. Han people were also relocated from the power centers of Beijing .

    Emperor Kangxi

    Kangxi ruled for 61 years, from 1662 to 1722, the longest of any Chinese emperor.

    He oversaw several cultural leaps, including the creation of a dictionary considered the best
    standardization of the Han language and the funding of surveys to create the most extensive maps of
    China up to that time.
