中英雙語話史記 第123期:清朝概況
Qing Dynasty
General
概況The Qing Dynasty (清朝），sometimes known as the Manchu Dynasty, was founded by the Manchu clan Aisin Gioro(愛新覺羅）， in what is today northeast China expanded into China proper and the surrounding territories of Inner Asia，
清朝由滿族部落愛新覺羅氏建立，滿族位於今天中國的東北部，
establishing the Empire of the Great Qing (大清帝國），which was founded not by the Han Chinese people, but by the Manchus, a semi- nomadic people not even known by that name when they first rose to prominence in what is now northeastern China.
它擴張至中國本土以及亞洲內陸的周邊地區並建立了大清帝國，清朝不是由漢人而是由滿人建立的，滿族是版遊牧民族，當它剛剛聲名鶴起之時還沒有知道它。Taking advantage of the political instability and popular rebellions convulsing the Ming dynasty, the highly organized military forces of the Manchus swept into the Ming capital of Beijing，and there remained until the Qing dynasty was overthrown in the Xinhai Revolution (辛亥革命）of 1911， with the last emperor abdicating early in 1912.
藉助明朝時期的政治不穩定和不斷的起義，滿族極具組織性的軍隊攻入了明朝的首都北京, 它們也在那裏定都直到1911年辛亥革命爆發，1912年最後一任皇帝提前退位。The Qing was the last imperial dynasty of China.
清朝是中國最後一個封建王朝。
