Most likely because it is the one every one knows.
Got to hit her with the more obscure ones, that shows you know history.

Its the one that the expensive vases are most commonly associated with. But that was also something of an apex of art and culture, so its a natural choice.
You’re not picking the Qing Dynasty, on account of the “Century of Humiliation” ending in Japanese collaboration and a dismal final period. The Liao, Tang, and Song are the only recent dynasties of appreciable length. Get much further behind that and its barely China anymore, just coalitions of city states and warring tribes. The Romance of the Three Kingdoms Era is cool, but not what I’d call “Peak China”.
Ming is as good a pick as any of them.

Oh hi, yes. I’m a big fan of the Later Han Period, which lasted a whooping four years. Also, my favorite President is Gerald Ford.
If you want to go edge lord, just say you’re a huge fan of the Taiping Rebellion. She’ll hate you forever, but she might respect you a bit more.
I mean, I’m partial to the Tang dynasty in part due to Wu Zeitan. Her history and time as empress are absolutely fascinating and the relative prosperity of her reign is really impressive.
But I like the Qing specifically because I like studying empires when they decline and “end”.
It’s a rollercoaster ride. But sort of like saying “I’m fascinated by WW2-era Europe”. Raises some red flags.
oh you like the ming dynasty? name all their wars.
He is not very good at MINGling.
Qing, because they were so bad at it they ended the Chinese Empire entirely, and that’s awesome.
But because of that we now have this whole bs timeline of chairman mao, then winnie the pooh, then lemmy.ml
Mao wishes he could have killed as many people with incompetence as the Qing. Rookie ass motherfucker.
Ming dynasty was the worst. She was clearly into the Gordon era.

aaAAAHh
As long as you can back up your choice with a reason…
You won’t impress someone simply by choosing their favorite and being unable to say why.
If you preface your reasoning with the accessibility of the history, Qing? Just gotta make sure you don’t come across as a rvturn to footbinding weirdo like Shen Yun.
Shit, this just reminded me of one of my favorite text posts and I can’t locate it because search engines are a wasteland of paid results and spam. any chance someone has it? Description below
The story’s narrator is walking along when they bump into a stranger. The stranger immediately begins yelling about how [linux distro] is subpar for its intended use case and the narrator calmly replies that the distro excels in specific ways. However, the stranger isn’t having any of it. The story ends without resolution, with the narrator looking for solace in others’ opinions.

Last night I spent 45mins searching for something that I had found in the top 3 results 8 months ago. It was buried on the 3rd page. None of the other results had anything to do with what I was actually searching for.
Try typing before:2024 at the start of the search term, it should filter things from 2024 our, and you might find it. Works the same with any other year
Hmmmmm nice one! Thanks for that!
I just stumbled across one. Hopefully having the actual wording will help you pin down the specific variation that you’re looking for
I feel like I’ve read that before, but it wasn’t about linux. Must be a copypasta at this point
I the like the Han dynasty because it was run by a sole smuggler
I think autocorrect broke your joke.
Like the fish or some sort of shoe racket?
The correct answer is “Qin. Love playing him in Civ 6”. You could say Ming but she has to know that they added Yongle as DLC
maybe she was checking if you were into Wu Tang… China’s only female ruler: Empress Wu of the Tang dynasty reigned for 20 years.
I’ve just had this Chinese dynasty, it is fucking minging! Suck your dad!
XIA DYNASTY
Anon plays the OP countries in EU4 which is why she’s upset
You gotta keep the ball rolling annon!
It meant you prefer war and conquest over peace, prosperity, and stability. The correct answer was the Song Dynasty.
Source: I have never studied Chinese history and made this up, so just take my word for it.
I’m glad my attention fatigued brain spared another few seconds to read the second half.
