Can we talk about one of the worst dynasties? Not only was it full of corruption, the famine that people suffered, the bad military logistics, its technological backwardness, but also, if I remember correctly, it had 16 civil wars, 20-something unequal treatment, and I think 25 wars throughout its existence, and they lost them all.

Every dynasty was retarded. China didn't have a single competent ruler after the 1600s

Manchu and Yuan are best dynasties

Qing wasn't among the worst, they just had the very bad lack of being encountered by their equivalence of martians

I do like that it's backwardness led to one of the most kino cultural times in Chinese history, the Republic era, outside of 3 Kingdoms and Tang.

The visual of medieval Qing Dynasty mandarins, walking side by side with Western educated military generals, with peasants, the qipao, with all the foreigners in Shanghai, Tianjin, martial artists and modern rifled infantry, junk sailboats and riverboats with steam engine battleships... it's vidya as fuck.

Also that one Emperor who abdicated so his grandfather emperor would keep his record of having the longest reign ever was cute and filial I guess.
