Is Beijing culture typical of Han culture or Manchu culture?

Beijing is the capital of the Qing Dynasty, the last dynasty of feudal society in China, and the Qing Dynasty was established by the Manchus, so some of my friends are curious about whether the culture of Beijing belongs to the Manchus or the Han culture. In fact, Beijing's culture should be traced back to the Manchu culture, but later with the continuous development of the market economy, the gradual emergence of Chinese and Western culture mingling, so the modern Beijing culture, is not pure Manchu culture but mixed with a lot of foreign cultures and the formation of. So the old Beijing culture belongs to the Manchu culture.

One, the origin of the Manchu

Tang Dynasty history records, there was a people called Mohe, in the continuous development of a part of the people formed the Goguryeo, while the other part of the people are constantly with the Goguryeo contradictory conflicts, but then the people of the power of the Goguryeo was defeated. So they fled to Beijing area. Some scholars have also found the old people in Beijing and examined them, and the ancestor flow in Beijing is consistent with the Manchus. Therefore, it is very likely that the Manchus and the Beijingers were divided by the same ancestor and formed different forces. The origin of the Manchu can also be glimpsed Beijing culture is Manchu culture.

Two, Beijing and the relationship between the Manchu Qing Dynasty

In fact, after the Qing Dynasty entered the country in a big way, there was a reshuffle of the city of Beijing, the people who were not Manchu at that time were all moved out of the city of Beijing to live outside the city, and all the city is full of Manchus living in the city. Therefore, a large part of Beijing's culture is Manchu culture, which is related to this movement of the Qing Dynasty. However, in the last years of the Qing Dynasty, the rulers were so mediocre that other Western powers found the right time to invade, not only waging wars in the Central Plains, but also bringing about a clash of cultures between the West and the East. During this period Beijing's traditional culture underwent some changes. With the charm of the capital city of Beijing, people from all ethnic groups traveled to Beijing to work and earn money. It also brought the cultural practices of each ethnic group. Nowadays Beijing culture has been mixed with cultures from all over the world.

Third, the significance of Beijing culture

Culture is an important part of China's traditional culture, which reflects the process of change in Beijing in the development of social history. It is also the best basis for us to study the history of Beijing. So we need to continue the traditional culture of Beijing in its entirety.
