How does contemporary China view the various Chinese dynasties and particularly the Qing dynasty?
Hello! I’ve recently become a lot more interested in reading about Chinese history and in particular the various dynasties of China and how the Chinese state came to be. Part of this included wondering abut how contemporary Chinese view its dynastic empire(s). I know in other socialist states monarchy was kind of looked down upon to varying degrees with the closest comparison I have being the USSR in part because my family is Ukrainian, where the Tsars and the Russian Empire went from being something loathed by the early Bolsheviks to something partially adopted during Stalin’s time where the state tried to make some degree of continuity between the two, which was primarily represented in art such as with Prokofiev and other artists.
I was wondering what the view is from those in China today regarding their Imperial period. Is it something looked at with disdain or is a source of pride or something between the two? Thank you.
