Why was the Yuan Dynasty important to Chinese culture?

The period of the Yuan Dynasty was so important because the Mongols, lead by Kublai Khan, conquered China. Kublai Khan declared himself to be emperor of China, so the Yuan Dynasty was considered a successor of the Mongolian Empire and a Chinese dynasty. Kublai Khan took jobs from the Chinese and replaced them with people he knew who did the same job in Mongolia rather than employing people most capable of the job. The Mongols liked to fight wars and extend their empire, but the Chinese were less interested in war. Some Chinese people didn't like how the Mongols always went out to fight a war and how they never relaxed. There was some good things that happened during the Yuan Dynasty though, too.
