Literally you are more of a teacher than my actual teacher. My teacher puts on one of your videos, says "take notes", and then gives us a quiz. So thank you!! Keep doing what your doing😃
lololololol...That sounds horrible. But hey, I appreciate you commenting and letting me know that my videos don't suck. Good luck this year and if you have any questions, reach out to me on here
Awww..thanks. Not sure I'm the GOAT but I'm trying my best. Hope the videos continue helping and appreciate the comment letting me know. Keep working hard.
Thanks for the video, but I'm confused on the Civil Service Exam. Were all who would be in the military required to take it? If not, how were soldiers in the military recruited?
So it is military/bureaucratic recruitment as a combined topic. AP World people want you to understand that in the gunpowder empires, recruitment was needed. In the Qing, the civil service exam was used for bureaucrats (people who worked for the government - think the day to day operations of an empire to run). Regular soldiers would not have to take the exam but a high ranking general might. The Qing had their own standing army and the local governments also had to send soldiers. Hope that clarifies.
Hello. Are there any important things that we need to know about the Ming empire since a lot of contextualization deals with them? I don't think there was a video on them. Thanks.
They are mentioned briefly in Unit 2. Here's what you need to know...they reestablish Chinese rule after the Mongols - put Confucian scholars back on top, send out Zheng He to reestablish tributary states around East and SE Asia. Then stop that exploration in the first half of the 1400s. They kind of isolate themselves at the same time the Europeans are exploring. The dynasty collapses in the 1600s due to the influx of silver coming from the Americas by way of the Spanish. This causes massive inflation.
Well Mr. Rupertus they did build a large palace called the Summer Palace and inside there's even western style buildings but were burned down by the French and British in 1860
Hi! When the Manchu came into power in China, how did that affect China's relation with other empires (trade-rise)? I remember from earlier in the video it was discussed how they became more isolated, but I'm still a little confused. Thank you!!
So...trade continued to thrive under the early Qing. It was the mid-1600s and European merchants were trying to gain access to Chinese goods. Also, the Qing did attempt to continue the tributary system - where neighboring areas swore loyalty to the Qing. Some were forced to submit (Korea) and others refused successfully (Japan) as they looked at the Manchus as uncivilized barbarians.
Great question. Generally, artwork (especially expensive) shows off one's power and wealth. When it is a huge painting of you (back in the 1600s), it demonstrates that you have the money to commission or pay for it but also that you are important enough to have it hung somewhere of significance like a palace. Similarly, every American president sits for a portrait that is done before they leave office. Shows their importance and legitimizes the office of the presidency.
Super helpful video! I'm doing a research project on this empire, and I am writing about how the empire collapsed or declined. But, the time period has to be from 1450-1750, and in your video the time period is later than that. Do you know what happened during the 1450s-1750s that weakened this empire?
Glad it was helpful Ryan. The issue with a project like you have is that the Qing don't actually fall in 1750. They are around until 1911 and for the most part, are pretty strong in 1750. We don't actually see their true decline in the 1800s. In that century, the Europeans are industrialized while the Qing aren't and the Europeans are on their 2nd round of global conquering. The Chinese lose a few wars to the British called the Opium Wars in the 1850s. Here is my video on it: ruclips.net/video/aGZ7Oln9IBw/видео.html Good luck with the project and make sure you aren't confusing the Qing with the Ming. They are the empire in China before the Qing. They were in power from 1368-1644. They declined because of the influx of silver coming in to China from Europeans who got that silver from the Americas and used it to buy Chinese products. The silver caused massive inflation and led to the Ming decline which gave rise to the Qing.
Hi Mihir. The Mongols used Chinese scholars and kept the civil service exam; however, they weren't treated with as high of a regard as they were under the Song and then under the Ming. Because the scholars were a threat to the Mongols' power they were bumped down to take away their ability to revolt against them
I think the Manchus in 1650 would respectfully disagree. But we can agree to disagree. In 2022, Manchuria is part of China and the Manchus are "Chinese" by citizenship. But during the Qing Dynasty they viewed themselves as different from the Han Chinese.

I dunno how you are right now but I hope you’re doing well. You’re doing gods work thank you so much for these videos ‼️‼️
I'm still teaching and occasionally making new videos. Thanks for the compliment. Good luck studying
You are the goat! Love the teaching style. Very easy to understand and follow! You are carrying me through class right now

Hi, i just wanted to tell you that i love your teaching style! You helped me get a 9/12 on my saq test thank you :)
Awesome. I appreciate your commenting and letting me know. Hope they continue to help....and 9/12 on an SAQ is really good!

@@jasonrupertus3360 Oh okay, yes now I remember talking about Zheng He and how he was sent by the Ming emperor. Thanks so much!

Thanks for the info. I completely overlooked that. I will correct it when I remake this video. Appreciate you letting me know
@@jasonrupertus3360 No worries! I really love your videos
this guy seems like a cool teacher
Have to see if I can get one of my students to chime in to confirm or deny this. Hope the video was helpful.

How did imperial portraits legitimize their rule, could you elaborate since I don't understand how pictures of rulers were so important
Great question. Generally, artwork (especially expensive) shows off one's power and wealth.

I thought the mongols incorporated the chinese scholars into their society? How were they pushed towards the bottom of the social class pyramid?
Hi Mihir. The Mongols used Chinese scholars and kept the civil service exam; however, they weren't treated with as high of a regard as they were under the Song and then under the Ming. Because the scholars were a threat to the Mongols' power they were bumped down to take away their ability to revolt against them
