Qīng Dynasty - 2025 ACF Winter

Question

Eric Schluessel used records from the Turpan archive to show how the Turkic Muslim population navigated and subverted this empire’s “civilizing project” in late 19th-century Xīnjiāng. For 10 points each:

[10e] Name this dynasty of Manchu origin that ruled a multiethnic empire centered in China. Xīnjiāng was turned into a province in 1884 under this dynasty’s Guāngxù Emperor.

ANSWER: Qīng Dynasty [or Qīng Empire; or Great Qīng; or Dà Qīng; or Dulimbai Gurun]

[10m] The chronicler Mūsā Säyrāmī criticized this ethnoreligious group for their privileged legal position under Qīng rule. These Chinese-speaking Muslims often appear as intermediaries in the Turpan archive.

ANSWER: Huí (“hway”) people [or Huízú; accept Dungan people or Dōnggānzú]

[10h] About 10 percent of the documents in the Turpan archive were written in this Turkic literary language. This language was named after a Central Asian khanate established by a Mongol general.

ANSWER: Chagatai [or Chaghatay; or Chagatai Turkic; accept Chagatai Khanate or Chagatai Ulus; prompt on Türkī; prompt on Eastern Turkic; prompt on Old Uzbek or Old Uyghur]
