In the first half of the seventeenth century, the Manchus, a semi-nomadic people from the northeast, took over China and established the Qing (?pure?) dynasty (1644?1911). Under the Manchus the arts flourished, especially during the reigns of the emperors Kangxi (r. 1662?1722), Yongzheng (r. 1722?36), and Qianlong (r. 1736?95). These enlightened rulers embraced Chinese artistic traditions and supported the production of elegant paintings on silk and paper, as well as exquisite ceramics, lacquerware, glass, and jade.
