Let's talk about History today- MANCHUS Manchus: the people who conquered China, ruled it for nearly 300 years and built one of the largest empires in East Asian history. They were not a native Han Chinese dynasty. Now your question will be- ^Who were the Manchus? Manchus originated in Northeast Asia and descended from the Jurchen people of Manchuria In historical Chinese sources, they and other northern peoples were referred to as barbarians, northern barbarians, or foreign barbarians. To understand the broader context Chinese sources viewed people living beyond the Great Wall as outsiders or barbarians, while those within the wall were associated with Han Chinese and the preservation of Han culture. Now you might wonder- ^Are these really the Manchu warriors? Were these goofy-looking men actually the people who conquered China and ruled it for over 300 years? Yes, they were. ^How were the Han Chinese subjugated under Manchu rule? Chinese were ordered to shave the front of their heads and wear the remaining hair in a long braid following Manchu customs.Refusal was treated as an act of rebellion and Manchus could literally execute Chinese for refusing to comply. The message was simple- submit to the new rulers and demonstrate your submission. The hairstyle became one of the most recognizable symbols of Qing rule. But for Chinese it represented humiliation and foreign domination over Chinese society and culture.
