Venturing into the Qing Dynasty
Just imagine living in China in 1680. If you were a man, you would shave your head and wear queues. As a woman, you would no longer have to bind your feet if you did not want to. Education and the arts would be a constant part of your life. You would have been part of the Qing Dynasty.
The Qing came from Manchuria and their rule extended from 1644 to 1911 A.D. As foreign rulers, the Qing focused more on agriculture, and Documents were not written in Chinese. Taxes were lower and commerce and international trade expanded during their reign. The use of color in their porcelain figures, as well as, art grew as well.
This Qing Dynasty Princess Figurine reflects the beauty and culture of the Qing’s rule in China. Her graceful lines and rich colors reflects this age of enhanced learning and the arts in Chinese history. She will also make a great conversation topic in your home or office.
