Answer:

The Qing Dynasty was the final imperial dynasty in China

Step-by-step explanation:

The Qing Dynasty was the second foreign dynasty to rule all China; the first being the Mongol Yuan Dynasty (1279-1368). Unlike the Mongols, the Manchu, who took the name “qing” meaning pure or clear, served as patrons of Chinese culture employing Chinese scholar-officials in high government positions.

The Qing tried to preserve their distinct identity within Chinese society. The Qing dealt with the problem of ethnic differences by bringing Chinese into the imperial administration. Because middle-class merchants and manufacturers in China were not as independent as those in Europe.
