As the country with the longest reign in ancient times, why did China not retain the royal family?

We learnWorld HistoryIt can be found that the longer a country's feudal monarchy reigns, the greater the impact on the country, because it is difficult to remove the strong feudal remnants at once, such as the United Kingdom, which we know still retains the royal family. Thailand, Japan, but China, on the other handOursFeudal dynastyIt also lasted for a very long time, so why didn't the royal family be retained like other countries?

The first reason is that we have lost the justifiable reason to keep the royal familyGenerally speaking, if you want to keep the royal family, you must at least get the support of the people, at least this royal power can work for the benefit of the people, but on the other hand, our Qing **.

At that time, they actually helped the foreign powers to oppress the people, which really made people feel cold, especially when the Eight-Nation Coalition invaded China in the end.

At that time, there was no way to protect the safety of the people, and what kind of confidence did such a regime let the people have to maintain?

The second reason is that Qing ** actually isManchu QingThe regime does not represent the Chinese nationIn the entire Han culture, people still believe that only the Han regime can last, so they disobey this minority in their hearts.

Naturally, it is impossible to maintain the regime, so the Xinhai Revolution.

The banners are all under the banner of expelling the Tartars and restoring China.

The third reason is that Qing ** missed the opportunity, the original reform of the law.

At the time, if the Qing ** can comply with the adoption of the constitutional monarchy system, then it is likely that the outcome will be rewritten, the shame of the invasion of China by the great powers will end early, and the majesty of the Qing ** will be greatly improved for the common people.

Because the royal family is very unsuitable for China's development, there is such a proof in ancient times, so it is impossible for China to leave the royal family.

The ancient royal family was a group peculiar to feudal society, and since it has changed, there is no need to keep it.

The longest country, then I feel that it is still this King Wen of Zhou.

I think it may be because a series of revolutionary events in China at that time erased all class barriers in a short period of time and formed a very equal environment for people, so people regained their balance in the process of slowly becoming rich. But many Western countries, they have not experienced this very painful and thorough revolution, they just with the change and development of history, the royal family and the system have been integrated, and they have performed their own duties.

For many Western countries, the royal family is a symbol of the glory and glory of their country, and a façade of their country. But for Chinese, the late Qing dynasty represents a very humiliating and unbearable memory. Although it is said that people's lives have begun to slowly become richer, and they have the ability to create a royal family again, they do not want to share the shame of the past.

After all, everyone doesn't want to go through that kind of day anymore, and that kind of day is really too bitter.

In fact, for us Chinese, it is not particularly important what kind of environment and system we live in, what people need more is stability, wealth and happiness. Chinese people are generally more tolerant and receptive, and all of us are keeping pace with the times. If we think it's not good, then we abandon it, and if it's very good, then we pass it on.

But obviously, Western countries are not like us, they may be more traditional, so their royal family has been able to maintain so well.

I think happiness is really a very important thing for Chinese, is it? Wang Si, it doesn't matter, as long as it can make the people of the whole country live very happily and carefree, that's enough. We don't stick to the old customs, but we prefer to show the future.

In the era of feudal dynasties in our country, in fact, many of the experiences brought to us were unpleasant, so there was no need to continue to pass them on.

Because the change of dynasties in the past dynasties was completed by means of war, it was inevitable that there would be a bloodbath of the royal family. And the Qing Dynasty, the last feudal dynasty in China, which at that time had already lost confidence in the people, was also overthrown by an uprising. In addition, China is composed of many ethnic groups, and there is not much sense of belonging to the royal family.

Because these dynasties have fallen in the course of thousands of years of development, they have not been preserved.

This is a combination of factors, because our country advocates Confucianism, and it is also directly related to the characteristics of the people.

03. It is inconsistent with our current social system. The system we are pursuing now is the socialist system, and for the Chinese people, there is no class division among the Chinese people living under the socialist system, and if the situation of the monarch continues to exist under the socialist system, then it is undoubtedly a division of social classes.

Because this system of the imperial family is not in line with the development of socialism and is contrary to it, the imperial family is not retained.

Because the Qing Dynasty was a dynasty established by ethnic minorities, the common people had no sense of belonging, and the opportunity to establish a constitutional monarchy was missed, so there was no royal reservation.

Because China implements a socialist system and emphasizes the equality of all people, the imperial family is no longer retained.

Historically, the longer a feudal dynasty ruled, the greater its impact on the country, and the more difficult it was to overthrow feudal dynasties, such as Britain, Japan, Thailand, and other countries. Less affected feudal monarchies will also be more likely to be abolished, such as the United Kingdom, Australia, Russia, etc. However, to the confusion of many Western countries, China, as the country with the longest imperial power in ancient times, has not yet retained the imperial family.

Why is that?

Since the Xia, Shang, and Zhou dynasties, China has been ruled by imperial power. Since then, it has gone through several dynasties spanning thousands of years. Although it has been changing dynasties and royal families, the phrase "the world cannot be abandoned" has always been there under imperial power.

Thousands of years of imperial rule in China have completely abolished the imperial family in modern China. Among them, there are three main reasons.

First, there is no justification for dynastic rule. The protection of the royal family must be recognized and loved by the common people, and even constantly serve the common people. Typical examples are the Emperor of Japan and the British royal family.

However, the Qing Dynasty has long since lost its legitimacy in modern China. The Qing Dynasty became the ** of the Western powers, suppressing the common people and abandoning the country and the people. Such a dynasty will inevitably be abandoned by the state.

The second is unrepresentative. The Qing Dynasty was Manchurian, and the power of the Chinese nation it represented was not enough, especially for the Han Chinese. It is impossible to accept that millions of minorities continue to be royal.

The only people who supported the Qing Dynasty were probably millions of Manchus, who were underrepresented. Naturally, the Qing Dynasty was completely overthrown under the impact of the revolution, and the entire imperial family completely collapsed, and there was no possibility of existence.

Thirdly, they did not take advantage of the opportunity. In fact, in the midst of the reform movement of 1898, perhaps the situation in China as a whole could have been reversed if the Qing Dynasty had implemented regular reforms, introduced a constitutional monarchy, and actively restricted its right to save the country and its people. The shame of the past 100 years may end early.

At that time, the prestige and charm of the Qing Dynasty will surely rise and win the love of the people again. If this system is established, it will not change for at least 100 years for future generations. This was also the only chance for the Qing Dynasty.

However, Cixi directly destroyed this possibility, making people increasingly resentful of the Qing dynasty and always eager to overthrow it.

Because this system in China does not allow the royal family to appear, it slowly disappears.

Because with the progress and development of the times, the royal family gradually declined.

Because we are now socialist. It is also determined by the national conditions of our country.

China has developed for thousands of years to the present day, there is no royal family, and it is a socialist system.

Because there are many drawbacks in the feudal society, it is easy to cause social contradictions, so the royal family has not been retained.

Because the royal family is the foundation of the feudal dynasty, as long as the old royal family is present, it is a threat to the rule of the new dynasty, so the change of dynasty is accompanied by the disappearance of the royal family.

Historically, while suppressing the gate valve aristocracy, it also made the people think that the noble and lowly could fight for themselves, and the enlightenment of Confucian commoner thought was subtly integrated with the modern republican concept in the blood and bones of the Chinese, of course, most people would not recognize the royal privileges.

Britain, Japan, Spain, etc., as long as they are constitutional monarchies, most of them have royal families.
