Qing dynasty after 雍正 cmi, the emperor only want legacy while the subjects are incompetent only good at politics
Very true. KangXi and YongZheng are the 2 key era that give Qing Dynasty foundation to survive 200+ yrs.


Qing Dynasty quite suay in Qianlong era, as Qing initiated senseless wars on Burma that emptied gov coffer and reject westernization idea in late 18th century.. That cause the technology and military gap widen much more by mid 19th century.

By mid 19 century, Qing military is way too technological backward to put up any useful resistance in 1St Opium war.

The great qing is one of the worse Chinese dynasties. Since the boxer rebellion, their power super weak while their officials very corrupt. They are lucky the west never finish them off before ww2 start

These officials saboed Emperor Guangxu which caused territories of China to be seized by foreign invaders! Guangxu is a fool who did not let Cixi intervene in state matters resulting in foreign invasion and huge national debt!
Not really, they just postpone the inevitable demise of Qing Dynasty

君子欲成大器,久利之事勿为,众争之地勿往。天下古今之庸人,皆堕之败,天下古今之才人,皆傲之败。利可共不可独,谋可寡不可众。凡成大事者,以识为主,以才为辅。人谋一半,天意一半,谋事在人,成事在天。

From 曾国藩。。。众争之地勿往 ....fill with wisdom ;)

Surprisingly, Qing Dynasty are often rated third among all the dynasties in China's history (after Han and Tang dynasties).

One reason is that China's size doubled after the Qing dynasty.
