| The History of the Qing Dynasty decline centers on two periods. The first is a foundational period that included the mismanagement of the empire by the Qianlong Emperor (1736-1799), and the inherited characteristics of the traditional government revenue system of ti-ting tax. The second period consisted of the change that was incurred by putting down the Taiping Rebellion (1854-1864). The old systemic problems of Imperial China were exacerbated due to the changes that were took effect during and after the rebellion. These changes in the military, the economy, and the way leaders and the people thought about their roles in the world guaranteed the end of the dynasty and the use of the Dynastic system in China after the 1900 Boxer rebellion. |
