Abstract: In the study of the Qing Dynasty we must begin with the political principle of national survival. In order to maintain long-term control，the state must employ all means to obtain political legitimacy and have people identify with the nation. The state must transform people's passive identification into active identification. The Qing Dynasty Rulers were oriented toward continuing the Ming Dynasty and all previous dynasties emperor's domination. The Qing Dynasty rulers took Confucianism as the official ideology and by approving Confucianism，won the Han people's favorable impression in return for the Han people obeyed the Qing rule，and realized the national identity. This national identity was embodied in honoring Confucianism and changing existing habits and customs. Orthodox ideas especially those represented by the Temple of Ancient Monarchs in Qing Dynasty actually contained，or bred，a new concept of a multinational country and also implied a reinterpretation of universal national sentiments.
