Research often delves into the cultural practices, artistic expressions, and material culture of the time, including the reproduction of antiquities and the role of crafts in society. - Societal Dynamics and Gender Studies:

The theme of cultural reproduction, especially as it relates to the arts and material culture during the Yongzheng era, shows an increasing interest in how historical narratives are shaped and reshaped. - Gender and Social Welfare:
Emerging scholarship focusing on the roles of women and social welfare initiatives during the Ming and Qing periods highlights the complexities of gender and societal structures. - Global Contextualization of Chinese History:

Declining or Waning

While economic themes are still present, there is less focus on the detailed economic conditions and trade practices of the Ming dynasty, suggesting a shift toward more cultural and social narratives. - Binary Gender Studies:
The earlier focus on a binary understanding of gender roles has waned, as contemporary scholarship increasingly recognizes the complexities and fluidities of gender in historical contexts. - Religious Studies on Buddhism and Taoism:
