In Chapter 2 of Wild Swans we find out a little about Manchu (or Qing) customs.
You can see some elements of Manchu lifestyle in this video: the kang, rich embroidery, ancestor table for worhip, the drum, and dance.
The resolution on this video is not high, so the visual quality is poor, but it might help. Can you find any other sources of information about lives that we can share?
Here is a map for the Manchu or Qing dynasty and shows the borders in 1910.
The book is explaining a family set against political events. Useful visuals and story here, charting the transition from the Imperial court to the revolution set in place by Sun Yat Sen.
