The Manchu (Manchu: ᠮᠠᠨᠵᡠ; Möllendorff: manju; Abkai: manju; simplified Chinese: 满族; traditional Chinese: 滿族; pinyin: Mǎnzú; Wade–Giles: Man3-tsu2) are a Chinese ethnic minority and the people from whom Manchuria derives its name. They are sometimes called "red-tasseled Manchus", a reference to the ornamentation on traditional Manchu hats.
Manchus form the largest branch of the Tungusic peoples and are distributed throughout China, forming the fourth largest ethnic group in that country. They can be found in 31 Chinese provincial regions. They also form the largest minority group in China without an autonomous region. Among them, Liaoning has the largest population and Hebei, Heilongjiang, Jilin, Inner Mongolia and Beijing have over 100,000 Manchu residents. About half of the population live in Liaoning province and one-fifth in Hebei province. There are a number of Manchu autonomous counties in China, such as Xinbin, Xiuyan, Qinglong, Fengning, Yitong, Qingyuan, Weichang, Kuancheng, Benxi, Kuandian, Huanren, Fengcheng, Beizhen and over 300 Manchu towns and townships.

Professor Mark Elliott gives the 73rd George Morrison Lecture at The Australian National University on June 20, 2012. His talk is entitled 'Reinventing the Manchus: An Imperial People in Post-Imperial China'. With the 1911 overthrow of the Qing dynasty (1644-1911), many predicted that the dynasty's ethnic founders, the Manchus, would soon be swallowed up by the Han majority -- the final act in a long process of acculturation that began in 1644, which even the long sequestration of the conquerors in walled garrisons could not prevent. The destruction of those walls, and continued prejudice against them in the first half of the 1900s, created a highly adverse environment for people wishing to go on being 'Manchu'. Facing dwindling numbers, and at first denied official status as a minority n...
The language of the Manchu ethnic group used to be the main language of the Qing Dynasty imperial court. However, the language is facing extinction, as few are able to speak it now. But a primary school in northeast China' s Liaoning province has started offering courses to teach students about Manchu language and culture.

There are 56 official ethnic groups in China, and one of them is the ethnic Manchus. Ethnic groups commonly face the problem of dying out in the modern society. The Manchus are encouraging their people to promote learning and usage of the language, to prevent it from dying out.
The Manchu conquest of China is arguably the greatest historical event of the seventeenth century, both for the changes it engendered within Asia and for its far-reaching implications in world history. Yet if we take even the simple phrase "Manchu conquest of China" we see that whether the conquerors were really "Manchu," whether it was an actual "conquest," and whether they ruled a land that could have been defined as "China" at the time are all disputable notions. Indeed, historians have argued against the concept that the Qing state can be identified with a single ethnicity, that the Qing rulers occupied China less as an act of willful conquest than as the result of the Ming dynasty's collapse, and that China under the Ming was very different from that ruled by the Qing. This talk will...

Oh my God, I feel so hungry.
Just got a craving for some munchies,
I want some pizza,
I want it now,
Gimme some food,
So I can chow,
I love to eat,
until full
I can't stop eating,
I'm on a roll,
Pig and pig,
until my stomach bloats.
Shoving more grub down my throat
Munchies!!!
C'mon, mom, give me some food,
I feel like an Ethiopian dude,
The more I wait,
the more I'll omplain,
I can't believe this, a hunger pain?
Muncheez
Rib chaw,
pizzamacht, barbecue chiken,
The greasy fast food clock is ticking,
if we come to your house, we'll raid your fridge,
in search of food, we're on a fridge,
in search of food,
we're on a binge
We eat out, we drink up.
We're never gonna stop,
if you don't have beer,
we'll gladly drink your pop,
Now I know because I've experienced the deadly disease,
It's a hunger thriving inard twisting feeling called the
