Did the Han people recognize the Qing Dynasty?

The Han people, who form the majority ethnic group in China, did recognize the Qing Dynasty, which ruled China from 1644 to 1912. The Qing Dynasty was established by the Manchu people, who originated from what is now northeastern China. After the fall of the Ming Dynasty, the Qing consolidated power and expanded its territory significantly. Over time, the Qing emperors adopted Confucian governance practices and promoted policies that helped integrate the Han Chinese into their administration, which facilitated recognition among the Han populace. While there were certain periods of resistance, such as during the early years of the Qing conquest and later during events like the Taiping Rebellion and the Boxer Rebellion, the Qing Dynasty ultimately became a significant part of Chinese identity and history. Despite the efforts of the Qing to integrate the Han population, the ethnicity-based distinctions and tensions sometimes persisted. Nevertheless, the Han majority, over the centuries, came to accept and participate in the Qing political system and cultural life.
