Say when Nurhaci's uniting the tribes and is assassinated by a rival chieftain. How would this effect their organization?

It'd be nice to find a family that can trace it's history back that far. Though I guess a new dynasty could arise after this one, so that wouldn't particularily matter.

Well, that's what I mean. Can there be a way to change the culture, with the installation of a new dynasty, over time to accommodate a speedier recovery after the First and/or Second Opium War? Li Zicheng wanted to redistribute land and such,

Also, if the Qing do not come to power, how would fashion change? Odd question, but I need to know for portraits of figures of the time for later reference, particularily Emperors and Empresses, I found one of Li Zicheng, would thye use that style? And I take it Hanfu would still be in style?
