What was the Manchu conquest of China like? Lynn Struve. Ming-Qing Cataclysm.

Фильм және анимация

The Manchu conquest of China from 1618 to 1683 saw the fall of the Ming dynasty and the establishment of the long-lived Qing (Manchu dynasty in China (1644-1912). Many shy away from the realities of what this was like and it is merely called a "transition" on Wikipedia. This is far from the truth.
What was it actually like to experience it?
Lynn Struve's book Voices from the Ming-Qing Cataclysm, China in the Tiger's Jaws, presents a variety of voices from artists to civil servants.
The book is available on Amazon. I highly recommend it to anyone interested in Chinese history.

Here's a link to the video about how the Ming Dynasty declined. Ray Huang 1587.

    The Mongol word for warrior is, "Daichin ᠳᠠᠶᠢᠴᠢᠨ" in which the Jurchens of the early medieval period borrowed their lexicon to name their Jin dynasty, and once again in a reiteration for the Qing one: 2.0 Манжууд = 大清 Dài Qīng gurun ᡩᠠᡳᠴᡳᠩ ᡤᡠᡵᡠᠨ (дайчин ᠳᠠᠶᠢᠴᠢᠨ) 1644-1912 CE 1.0 Зүрчид ᠵᡠᡧᡝᠨ ᠵᠥᠷᠴᠢᠳ = 大金 Dài Jīn gurun (дайчин ᠳᠠᠶᠢᠴᠢᠨ) 1115-1234 CE Manchus are the latter Jurchens who are the easternmost, part Mongolic-Tungusic folks. So in more ways than one, the Qing dynasty was a fusion/hybridity of Manchu-Mongol polity.
