Why do Manchus occupy such a significant position in the entertainment industry? It makes a lot of sense after listening. After the fall of the Qing Dynasty, Manchus had to go out and earn a living, and a large number of Qing nobles entered the theater industry. At that time, the illiteracy rate in the country was very high, and these nobles had received an education; they could not only read but also sing. Actors were considered to be of low status in traditional views, and the Manchus entering these industries were not given much attention at that time. Gradually, these Manchus established themselves in the performing arts industry, and with the development of society, the shackles of thought were gradually broken, leading to an increasing status of those engaged in the performing arts. Therefore, starting from the 1990s, many Qing palace dramas emerged that praised the Qing Dynasty, directly and indirectly whitewashing the Qing rule. During this period, the involvement of Manchus in film and television was particularly noticeable, and this situation did not settle down until a ban was imposed in 2019.
