Similarities Between Ming And Qing Dynasty

In chinese history, there has been many successful dynasties as well as unsuccessful ones. However, the Ming and Qing dynasties stand out for many different reasons. Although each dynasty had its own problems for it’s time period, they each shared many things in common.
One major similarity between The Ming and Qing Dynasties was the idea of social structure. The Ming and the Qing both stuck by a class system with a high, middle, and low level to each class. In the high class we find wealthy landowners, scholars, and obviously the highest of them all the emperor and his family. Directly under them in the middle class was merchants and peasants. Lastly, we have the bottom of the pyramid which included slaves, beggars, and everything inbetween.
