The Ming was the new beginning of China without the Mongols. Power was restored to the empire, back to the Chinese. They reinstated Chinese traditions, a strong centralized government, the civil service examination, and got rid of the Mongol influences. They began explorations to the West, heading toward East Africa (100 years before the Europeans did). If they had continued exploration, which they didn't, they could have became the dominant colonial power. Within a couple decades, they stopped their voyages. This led to a corrupt and economic inflation. During the 16th century, Europeans began coming into China, but the Chinese were able to ward them off. Internal problems and Qing warriors from Manchuria eventually led to the demise of th Ming dynasty.
The Qing Dynasty began afterwards and lasted until 1912. They let China keeps its traditions, making sure the Chinese didn't diverse themselves among the Manchus'. The Manchu protected their culture closely. They may have traded with the West, but made sure they kept their own customs. The Manchus' avoided any cultural diffusion with the many countries they traded with.

The impact of the Ming Dynasty on China
The Ming Dynasty came to power around 1368 restored power to the empire. They built a strong central civilization.Mign tried to reserve Chinese tradition with queue's, Confucian principles and civil service exam. Fleets were invented and Zeng He, a Chinese navigator, went to the Indian ocean. Due to navigating and trade they had new foods. The Population increased, they were politically stable. Eventually there economy became weak. Peasent s began to rebel and slowly the ming lost power and ended its rule in 1644.

Beginning of Manchu Dynasty and how the react to forgein invasions
The Manchu was strict about diversity. They wanted nothing to do with the rest of the world, so they focused on China and it's surrounding neighbors. Manchu traded with some places, but they wanted to preserve their culture as muh as they can. Chinese were worried of Europe's advancements, so trade happened but the Manchu;s became paranoid about preserving their culture

The Ming Dynasty existed from 1368 to 1644. During the Ming Dynsty power was restored over to the Chinese due to the expulsion of Mongols exitstance and influence in China. Also a strong centralized government was built which was based on Confucian principles and the civil service exam was reinstated. In the 15th cenury fleets were built which was vital for exploration and trading because China was able to establish relations with foreign countries and trade between them. What led to the end of the Ming Dynsty and the beginning of the Qing or Manchu Dynsty was due to the Ming's internal and external problems. Internal problems of the Ming included famines and peasant revolts. External problems included the Qing ousting of the emperor. This happened because in 1644 the Ming emperor asked Qing warriors from Manchuria to help him stop a peasant revolt which the obviously the Manchu didn't want. When the Qing or Manchu Dynasty came into power they existed from 1644 to 1911. The Manchu only wanted to stay focused on China and its surrounding neighbors which led to little contact with the outside world causing China to be some what isolated. All the Machu cared about was to protect their culture and they would do everything to preserve their culture even if it meant not trading with other countries.

The Ming Dynasty was the beginning of a whole new era with the chinese. This was the dynasty that had taken out the mongols from their land. As a result of this, they began trading a lot. In the Ming dynasty, the economy boosted, by making the system based on silver currency. Even though the Ming Dynasty was already in the decline because of economic troubles (inflation), the chinese had another internal problem, Revolts were starting to occur because of the economic troubles. When the Ming Emperor could not fix these revolt problems, he invited a small group of Qing warriors from manchuria to China, to help him. Yet, the Qing ousted the emperor and made a new dynasty of their own. The Manchu or better known as the Qing Dynasty.
The Qing Dynasty was a dynasty and was from Manchuria that did not take over the Chinese ways. they were there own people and were the higher class. They still kept the Chinese active in works. They did not let the Chinese take over any of their customs or traditions.

Around 1368, the Ming Dynasty kicked out the Mongols. China restored power over the empire to the Chinese. The Ming built a strong centralized government based on Confucian principles. They reinstated the civil service exams and removed Mongol influence in China. Zeng He, a Chinese Navigator led fleets from Asia through the Indian Ocean down to East Africa a century before the Europeans did. To save the failing economy the Chinese began silver currency. Japan supplied the silver but soon the Chinese established trade relations with the Spanish through the Phillipines. The silver flooded the Chinese market causing inflation. By the 16th century the Ming Dynasty was in its decline. By the 17th century famines hurt Chinese economy, peasant revolts erupted against the Ming rulers. In 1644 the Ming Emperor asked the Qing, warriors from Manchuria to help with the peasant uprising. The Qing Dynasty took over after the Ming Dynasty. The Qing or Manchus ruled until 1912. They forbade the Chinese to learn the Manchu language or intermarriage. The Manchu avoided cultural diffusion with other countries.

After the Mongols rule in China, the Ming Dynasty came to power. The Ming built a strong centralized gov't, and recreating the Chinese culture. The chinese navigator, Zeng He, led the newly built Chinese fleets. The Chinese then began to be the dominant colonial power, as the result of the new trade routes. But, after time, Chinese stopped naval voyages, making its society inward. The Chinese started to use silver currency instead of paper money. Because of the newly discovered American silver sources, China made trading relations with Spanish through the Philippines. The Manchu Dynasty began when the Ming invited Qing warriors to help them stop peasant revolts, but instead the Qing, or the Manchu overruled the Ming. The Manchu were successful in controlling the trade relations. Because there were fierce protectors, the Manchu expelled the Europeans if they feered threatened by them. Still, because of skilled trade, under Qing dynasty new rising class of merchants in China emerged.

The Ming Dynasty recieved the Mandate of Heaven when the Yuan Dynasty fell. The Mongols left China and the Ming restored China to its power. The Ming did many changes to China. They reinstated the Civil Service Exam and began to explore West. Zheng He was sent to explore the Indian Ocean and East Africa. Exploration halted a few years later, corruppting the economy. Many internal problems began to occur resulting in the fall of the Ming Dynasty. The Qing Dynasty or Manchurians took over after them. They were partially the reason the Ming fell. The Qing Dynasty kept to themselves. They isolated China again and did not allow for their customs to mix with others. They did not get influenced by the coutnries they traded with and preserved their culture.

The Ming Dynasty started in 1368 when they drove the Mongols out of China. The Ming crated a strong central government based on Confucian ideas. The civil service exams were reinstated and the Mongol influence was removed. During this time the Chinese built huge fleets. Zeng He was a navigator who sailed throughout Asia and the Indian Ocean long before the Europeans did. However they stopped doing such explorations. Chinese economy was failing and even though they traded with Spain, there was inflation. Pirates raided ports, famine broke out, revolts erupted. In 1644 the Qing warriors defeated the Ming and took over China, starting the Qing Dynasty which lasted until 1912. The Qing were from Manchuria and not ethnically Chinese, and they preserved their culture. They forbade an interaction between the two cultures, intermarriage wasn't approved. Emperors such as Kangxi and Qianlong, supported the arts and expanded the empire only to surrounding states. They traded with Europeans but later restricted trade to only the city of Canton. Even so, the dynasty prospered for a long time.

by 1368, china drove out Mongol influences and the Ming Dynasty took over. They reinstated Chinese traditions, a strong centralized government,etc. During the Early 15th century Zeng He, a Chinese navigator, led fleets throughout the southeast Asia and the Indian ocean. but china soon stopped naval voyaged and turned inward. they also stopped paper money and used silver money in a "single-whip" system through the Spanish, but the rise of silver caused inflation and the economy dropped and the ming suffered and were taken over by the Qing warriors.

The Qing, or the Manchu were strict and kept the Chinese and the Manchus separate. the emporors under the Qing also expanded the empire into central asia, tibet, and Mongolia.

The Ming dynasty had a huge impact on china. In 1938, they ousted out the last of the Mongol rulers in china and regained power over the chinese empire. The ming dynasty ruled until 1644 and durimg this ti,e it built a powerful centralized povernment that followed the basic confucian principles, reinstated the civil service exam and took away the mongol influence by rousing the chinese culture.

The Manchu in 1644, when the Ming emperor asked a group of Qing warriors; from Manchuria to aid him, put an end to the peasant uprising, but rather the Qing, dethroned the emperor. As a result, the Ming Dynasty ended and the Qing (Manchu Dynasty) started. They rules until 1912. The manchus traded with the Europeans and granted rights to the portuguese, Dutch, and british, but they were watchful and successful about dominating trade relations through the mid-eighteenth century.

QING DYNASTY:

The Qing Dynasty was also known as the Manchus. They ruled in China until the year 1912. The Chinese stayed isolated from the world during this time period. They did not trade with anyone from Europe except the Portuguese, British and Dutch, who they gave specific trading rights too. China was strictly against Christianity. They traded teas, silk and porcelain.


MING DYNASTY:
The Ming Dynasty ruled from 1368 till 1644. They brought back the rules and thoughts of Confucianism and set up a centralized government. They also put the civil service exams back into society. The Ming Empire spend a lot of time trying to rebuild the economy. The Ming Dynasty fell because of invasion, peasant revolts and famines, like most dynasties do.

The Ming Dynasty ruled from the years 1368 to 1644. The Ming built a strong centralizing government based on Confucian philosophies and reinstated Chinese tradition into every aspect of life to get rid of Mongol influences. They brought back the civil service exam, and Chinese navigators, such as Zeng He, built huge fleets, which prompted them to start explorations. Had they continued their explorations, they would've been dominant over most other nations. But instead, they abruptly stopped. By the sixteenth century, the Ming Dynasty was slowly declining from internal problems. In 1644, the Ming Emperor invited a group of Qing warriors to help him with end a peasant revolt. Instead, the Qing warriors overthrew the Ming Emperor, and with that, the Ming Dynasty finally came to an end.

The Qing Dynasty came into power in immediately afterwards, and ruled through until 1912. They did not adapt the Chinese traditions, as they were not ethnically Chinese (they were from Manchuria). The Qing Dynasty tried to distance itself from the Chinese. They traded with the West, but made sure to hold true to their own customs.

the ming dynasty was very important to china. this was the first dynasty after the mongols. the ming reinstated the civil service exams, built a strong central government, and removed mongol influence from chinese culture. Zeng he, an explorer, was searching out and about in the Indian ocean well before Europeans.

the manchu took over the ming dynasty. the remained isolated from the rest of the world, and kept themselves limited on trade. they even granted rights to many foreigners. However, if the manchu felt threatened, they were expelled.

The Ming Dynasty from 1368 to 1644. The Ming built a strong centralized government based on the principles of Confucianism. They brought back the civil service exam. The mong built huge fleets. Zang He was a Chinese navigator, who led fleets throughout southeast Asia and the Indian Ocean to East Africa. The empire tried to rebuild their failing economy by scotching their counterfeited paper money to a system based on silver currency. The Ming fell when they started getting invaded, peasant revolts, and famines. All of these signs are the reason for almost every empire's decline.

Hubbs said...

The Qing Dynasty also know as the Manchus ruled China until 1912. The Chinese were unable to marry Manchus or to learn the Manchu language. The Chinese did not get involved with the rest of the world. They did not trade with Europe, but gave trading rights to the Portuguese, Dutch, and Vritish. Christanity was banned from China. They traded tea, silk and porcelain with Europeans for silver. This caused a rise in class of merchants.

The Ming dynasty was one of the four gunpowder empires. They reinstated the civil service exam, and Confucianism. They also expanded the Chinese rule to Mongolia, Korea, and SouthEast Asia. Some achievements of the Ming dynasty was that they exported porelain, silk, and tea. They also had an important explorer named Zheng He.
The Qing dynasty existsed from 1644-1911. It was China's last dynasty. They expanded the Chinese empire to Tibet, Vietnam, Nepal, and Mongolia. They banned Christianity. They believed in imperialism. Imperialism is when a stronger country conquers the weaker for mainly trade purpoeses.

1368-1644, the ming dynasty removed the mongolian influence and built a strong government based on confucian principles. their desire to expand was fulfilled by a navigator called zeng he during the early 15th century.
around the 16th century as the ming dynasty was declining due to internal problems, the quing dynasty took over them while helping them throughout their peasant revolt.
