nothing like Tang. Qing did copy and paste Ming a bit but was worse than Ming in policy-making

@hyltoniali257 the only main thing adapted by the Manchus was the language, otherwise not really assimilated

@hyltoniali257 the Manchu language is predominately secondary now, but there are still a few main speakers. True that they changed their surnames, but many are trying to change it back. Like Yehenala was changed to Ye for disguising, but now the surname is being used again. All of this changing happened within the last 100 years. Before then, they held onto their Manchu culture as long as possible

@biocapsule7311 mongols destroyed a lot of scientific momentum of different places. jin dynasty (jurchen) from the song era moved their capital to Beijing. yuan dynasty (mongol) also moved their capital to Beijing. everyone loved Beijing for some reason, but I think ming dynasty should have stayed in Nanjing.
