Features: Based on summarizing the experiences of previous dynasties, the institutional systems of the Qing Dynasty were refined and enriched by the rulers, advancing feudal institutions to a higher level. Many ethnic-specific elements reflected in the Qing institutional systems not only demonstrate the efforts of the Manchu aristocracy to secure their ruling interests but also reveal how various ethnic groups maintained coordinated relationships within a unified feudal state dominated by Han culture. This book primarily introduces the emperor system, ceremonial system, state organ system, official management system, schools and imperial examinations, financial, supervisory, and legal systems, as well as the military system in the Qing institutional systems.
