Why did invaders from the north not replace Chinese culture with their own?

The are several reasons for the maintenance of Chinese culture after invasions:
- The complex civil service required to keep the country economically healthy was run by the Mandarins (highly trained bureaucratic scholars in the government of Imperial China). The Invaders did not want it to fail and did not have the desire or ambition to learn the language and accounting to continue running it and allowed the mandarins to continue to be in charge. They therefore remained in power.
- The Invaders were well treated by the Chinese and became lazy (as the mandarins were doing all the work) and eventually bred themselves out of existence.
- The Invaders were too small a force to control the millions of Chinese so they could be ignored.
- Chinese culture had a significant inertia which a few Invaders could not change
