	Qing Dynasty - MSN Encarta
		The Qing empire appeared so orderly and prosperous in the 18th century that the French philosopher Voltaire praised the Chinese for having the most effectively organized government that the world had ever seen.
		The founders of the Qing dynasty were members of the Jurchen tribes, a nomadic people who hunted, fished, and raised horses in the area that is now northeastern China.
		Taking China’s superiority for granted, Qing rulers demanded that foreign countries engage in what has come to be called the “tributary system.” Representatives from foreign states showed their subservience to Chinese rulers by kowtowing (knocking their heads on the ground) before the emperor, and by offering gifts, or tribute.

		As Qing power expanded north of the Great Wall in the last years of the Ming dynasty, the banner system was expanded by Nurhachi's son and successor Hong Taiji to include mirrored Mongolian and Han Banners.
		The Qing government's decision to turn the banner troops into a professional force whose every welfare and need was met by state coffers brought wealth, and with it corruption, to the rank and file of the Manchu Banners and hastened its decline as a fighting force.
		The defeat was a rude awakening to the Qing court especially when seen in the context that it occurred a mere three decades after the Meiji reforms set Japan on a course to emulate the Western nations in their economic and technological achievements.

	Joanna Waley-Cohen. Military Culture in Eighteenth-Century China
		First, Qing rulers wished to avoid repeating the mistakes of their Ming predecessors, whose excessive favoring of the civil arm of government had resulted in widespread disaffection of the military, and had been a leading cause of the Ming demise.
		The dilution of civilian paths to power as the result of the Qing introduction into the social hierarchy of the hereditary banners, combined with the crisis of identity brought on by the Ming collapse, predisposed members of the traditional merit-based Chinese elite to seek new means of justifying their elevated social position.
		Qianlong’s passionate attention to both the minutiae of military affairs and the larger picture of empire meant that during his reign, war and devotion to military power surpassed their practical role as the main means of imperial expansion to emerge as very metaphors for the Qing at its height.
