“Take your house down, rebuilt it elsewhere…. or or receive compensation”. In 1648 Han Chinese residents of Beijing received an ultimatum. The capital had been taken over by the Manchus and the new foreign rulers decided to segregate the city and implement an almost apartheid like system. people in the Manchu army and Chinese civilians were not supposed to freely mix anymore. This was the beginning of a segregation policy that lasted for 264 years, right until the last emperor abdicated in 1912.
What did the segregation mean to Beijing? Where can we find traces of Manchu culture in Beijing even today? How did Manchu legacy impact our ideas of old Beijing? Together with the Qing historian Jeremiah Jenne we have created a talk about Beijing's time as a “Segregated City”.
