korean female fashion made its way into china during the yuan dynasty via royal marriage (empress gi) and goryeo nobles at khanbaliq court, Of course the mongol emperors preferred foreigners over ethnic chinese people... for example kublai khan's portrait was painted by a nepali artist by name araniko, anyway:

As much as the rest of the world, the Chinese dynasties have always been fascinated and in touch with foreign culture aka "Barbarian and non-han"

Cultural "borrowings" in chinese History are a full list.
So they should have burned down and built an entirely new one? They built new palaces: the summer palace, the old summer palace (larger), mukden palace, Chengde Mountain Resort etc...
In addition to monumental Tibetan Buddhist temples, colonizing and bringing han chinese culture to mongolia, central asia, tibet, xinjiang, outer manchuria, taiwan (making it a true province unlike the jungle and underdeveloped Kingdom of Tungning) , Kazakhstan, Lake Balkhash.....

Abandoning or destroying the forbidden city would only have increased the Chinese ire
"They added to it, and in some ways improved it. Not so the Manchu Qing."
The manchu made the banner system, which was the main cause behind China's expanding territory and warlike imperialism, not to say didn't fail like the tang (the big one run by ethnic han) for highly relying on local warlords

And the warlord era is more of ROC's fault
So they surely "improved"
Even going as far as constructing a tomb complex for the last Ming Emperor.
The Qing- in their own ways saw themselves as an extensions of the existing culture, and they branded themselves scholar Kings that honored Confucius and led a Sinocized dynasty.
Yes I admit to bias against the Qing and loyalty to the Ming legacy. Although I disagree with you about there not being a 'pure Han' culture, language, Hundred surnames, civilization and core legacy. China had a developed civilization by the time of Confucius, that's what Confucius revered, that's what he was defending. Throughout Chinese history the invaders of China have been quite distinct from Chinese civilization, from lifestyle (nomadic) to language (Hun, Turk, Mongol, Tungustic, European). From the beginning there has only been Huaxia Chinese (華夏) versus Barbarians, there is a straight line from the Yellow Emperor who fought Chi You (蚩尤) to today's developing 'Thucydides Trap' between China and the USA.
When the jurchen attacked south China, Song gaozong even ran out to sea and lost his ability to reproduce( impotence) due to excessive fright,and actively cede territory、pay reparations and beg for peace. (what a shatuo man)
In contrast, Ming chongzhen emperor was the other extreme case, and ironically, song gaozong kept the country, while chongzhen emperor did not.(我只能呵呵了)
