Historical incorporation of the Manchu people into the Han-dominant society
The Guangxu Emperor of the House of Aisin-Gioro, penultimate Emperor of the Qing dynasty
The Sinicization of the Manchus is the process in which the Manchu people became assimilated into the Han-dominated Chinese society. It had occurred most prominently during the Qing dynasty when attempts were made by the new Manchu rulers of China to assimilate themselves and their people with the Han under the new dynasty to increase its legitimacy.
By the time the Qing dynasty fell, many Manchu had already adopted Han Chinese customs, languages and surnames. For example, some descendants of the ruling imperial House of Aisin-Gioro adopted the Han Chinese surname Jin (金) as both Jin and Aisin mean gold.[1]
On the other hand, the New Qing History school argues that the Manchus were never fully sinicized during the Qing dynasty, especially in its peak era. From the 1630s at least through to the early 19th century, Qing emperors developed a sense of Manchu identity and used traditional Han Chinese culture and Confucian models to rule the core parts of the empire, while blending with Central Asian models from other ethnic groups across the vast realm.
