There were times that Chinese civilisation was the most sophisticated in the world. But it follows a cycle of feast and famine. The society prospered, population went up, then a famine beckoned. Famine happens and afterwards things would improve again and the cycle would repeat. But I think China has had a very advanced civilisation in the past compared to other cultures of the time. Also bear in mind the Qing dynasty was Manchurian and they were largely resented by the Han majority. I'm no expert but i get the impression that bonds of loyalty and duty were always weak between the Qing and the common people and that's why you had things like the Taiping rebellion pick up so much momentum in their big civil war of that time.
