What are the political, cultural and economic differences between the Ming Dynasty and the Qing Dynasty?
Fundamental differences in political systems. The Ming dynasty was an imperial power system, and the imperial power was not supported by reliable interest groups. It needs to strike and balance various privileged classes, as well as a small government and civil autonomy, and to balance the infringement of civil rights by bureaucratic privileged classes in order to maintain the dynasty. However, the Manchu Dynasty was a system based on the oppression of major ethnic groups. Due to the national contradiction with the main society and the racial oppression of the main people, the Manchu pro-expensive group and the Eight Banners military privileged group could not challenge the Manchu imperial power in the Han society, and realized the unification of the imperial power and the military privileged group. Manchu imperial power was supported by Manchu pro-Guangxi and the Eight Banners military privileged group, and relied on the Eight Banners military privileged group to monitor and suppress the Han population in time to maintain its rule.
