Detailed explanation-2: -What is the Qing dynasty? The Qing (or Ch’ing) dynasty, also called the Manchu (or Manzu) dynasty, was the last of the imperial dynasties of China, spanning from 1644 to 1911/12.

Detailed explanation-3: -The Chinese government during the Qing was an integrated bureaucracy-that is, political power flowed from the top to the bottom through a series of hierarchically ordered positions that extended down to the county level, where a local magistrate headed a county office, called the yamen.
