Notice! The Manchu emperors were remarkably successful. The reign of Chien-lung (1736-1795) was a time of great expansion. The Manchus gained Turkestan, Burma, and Tibet. By the end of the eighteenth century Manchu power extended even into Nepal, and the territory under the Ching control was as extensive as under any previous dynasty |
What is it made of? Most of their tools, such as axes, knives, shovels, and arrowheads, were made of stone, but some, such as needles, were composed of animal bone. They also had ornaments for personal decoration such as hairpins, beads, and rings. All were made of bone, shell, stone, or animal teeth. |
