The family style is the national prosperity. Two masters of the family in the Forbidden City, Zhu Ming family and Aisin Gioro are power-hungry, arbitrary, and all hope that the mountain for years to come. Aisin Gioro family is more pragmatic and rational, more diligent and hard-working, and more focused on life, leading the Forbidden City in the Qing Dynasty run more smoothly and efficiently, and the Qing Dynasty is more stable and more resilient ruled than the Ming Dynasty."
