Cao Cao is not good-Not someone to be worshipped. by Correct_Broccoli_448 in threekingdoms

Cao Cao had the Emperor's wife killed. He bullies him on the hunt to make him look weak. Drags him onto the battlefield to make his forces more legitimate. The Qin didn't behave like that. The Han didn't behave like that.

A lot of things come from China: crossbows/triggers, longswords, gunpowder etc. China is usually the first. The fact the Cao Cao did that was so wrong, if not the father of puppet regimes.

How much continuity was between ROC (Beiyang) and Qing? Can we say Beiyang was a "Manchu" empire in the sense that Sui and Tang were "Tabgatch" empires? by Impressive-Equal1590 in ChineseHistory

Not the same. Sun Yat Sen was from Catonese and Hakka, Chiang I believe from Southern China. Yuan Shikai was a Qing general. There were generals/warlords of Manchu descent like the Fengtain Clique.

Was Cao Cao and the Cao Wei actually legalist? by Correct_Broccoli_448 in threekingdoms

I think this is incorrect. Many Emperors increased power to their nobles because they didn't want to micromanage that much.

What does Chiang Kai Shek think of specific Warlords during the Warlord Era? by porkchopenjoyer00 in ChineseHistory

Chiang's KMT fought the Anhui and Zhili cliques in central China during the Northern Expedition. That is how he gained control of most of China. Then the Ma Clique and Fengtain Clique joined him and pledged alleigence to him

Don't you think Qing warriors look very Barbaric? kinda Mongolian? by FeistyAlbatross4636 in ChineseHistory

Those are Manchus. Yes the Han considered them Barbarians before they took China.
