Anti-Manchuism


Anti-Manchuism refers to sentiment which is held against the Manchus, or sentiment which was held against the Qing Dynasty's rule over Chinese civilization which was often resented for supposedly being a barbaric regime which ruled over Chinese civilization despite a high degree of cultural integration by the Manchus. This ethnic-based sentiment tended to be a subset of the greater anti-Qing sentiment. Some of the anti-Manchuists in the Qing dynasty stated "Fan qing fu ming" to say they want to rebuild the Ming dynasty and overthrow the Qing dynasty.
Sun Yat Sen, who overthrew the Qing Dynasty and founded the Chinese Republic, proclaimed this when he launched his rebellion against the Qing Dynasty which was led by Manchus and ruled all of China from 1644 to 1911:
In 1911 the Xinhai revolutionaries proclaimed the equality of Han Chinese and Muslims, but they deliberately left the Manchus out in their original proclamation, and as a result, they "can be seen as sanctioning" the massacre of Manchus in Xi'an. The Hui Muslim community was divided in its support for the revolution. The native Hui Muslims of Gansu province led by Ma Anliang and Ma Qi proceeded to ignore the proclamation, and continued to fight for the Qing against the revolutionaries. Only some wealthy Manchus who were ransomed and Manchu females survived. Wealthy Han Chinese seized Manchu girls to become their slaves and poor Han Chinese troops seized young Manchu women to be their wives.
