How did the Qing Dynasty perceive merchants?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>\nThe Qing Dynasty (1644-1912) saw a more positive view of merchants.

How did the Opium Wars affect the perception of merchants?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>\nThe Opium Wars and subsequent unequal treaties in the 19th century tarnished the image of foreign merchants in China.
