Based on the fact that a patriarchal society has lasted for many generations of dynasties and the idea that dynasties have thus repeated what previous ones have done in regards to gender, the Ming and Qing will most likely follow this same gender structure. In regards to religion, the increased influence in China from Europeans and Muslims as they augment trading excursions there will lead to more attempts to convert people to Christianity and Islam. However, Neo- Confucianism will probably remain as the main religion/philosophy because of its continuation from the Sui to the Yuan dynasty.
