In our eyes, old China was backward, ignorant, decaying, and impoverished.
However, in fact, many people do not know about old China, whether it is me, or you, or him, or people who study history.
We can know that at that time, some people became traitors, some people became warlords, and some people could not protect themselves, but there were also people who saved the country and survived, some people joined the army to serve the country, and some people hoped to change all this.
So we can know that the old China was contradictory, full of negatives, and also with positives.

Although the industry of old China began with imperialist colonial aggression and has undergone more than 100 years of abnormal development, its scale was very small and its output was very low.
Although old China was the world's leading agricultural country in history, its production relations and production methods were very backward, and its production efficiency was very low. Until the founding of the People's Republic of China, feudal production relations were dominant.
The way of life in old Chinese society was not much different from that of thousands of years ago. The vast majority of households in the rural areas use "black oil lamps" or even torches for lighting, and ordinary small and medium-sized landlords also wear coarse cloth and eat some coarse grain.
Although old China was a great country with a history of 5,000 years of civilization, it was extremely backward in education, science, and culture. More than 90 per cent of the total population is illiterate.
Due to the oppression of the three mountains and the backwardness of education and science, the entire culture of old China was ruled by colonial, feudal, and bureaucratic capitalist culture.

The peasants who lived on the land, but did not have their own land, survived by working for the landlord and having some rations.
The peasants could not do without the landlord's land, had no personal freedom, and had no thoughts of their own, because any thought was not as important as survival. Fa must have been under the roof, working in the fields day and night, and had to bow to the landlord for many things in life.
This is a society without freedom, without personal freedom, not even freedom of thought, in a field is a lifetime.

Evaluation of the 19th-century German philosopher Hegel.
It is believed that the cause of China's backwardness is the darkness of the inner spirit of the Chinese, and that China is a land that has not yet been illuminated by the light of the human spirit, where the sun of reason and freedom has not yet risen, and man has not yet shaken off the primitive and natural state of ignorance. Everything that belongs to the spirit ......are far from it.
Evaluation of the 18th-century French thinker Rousseau.
They are polite, courteous, and flexible, but they are cunning and sophisticated. They regard all obligatory morality as rituals, and they only know salute and bow, but they do not know what human nature is.

The Chinese nation, which has a long history of 5,000 years of civilization, like most other nations in the world, has experienced the development of primitive society, slave society, and feudal society, and after the 40s of the 19th century, against the background of the rapid development of Western capitalism, due to the strong invasion of Europe, America, and Japanese imperialism, it began to enter a semi-colonial and semi-feudal society. Although the success of the Xinhai Revolution in 1911 overthrew the corrupt Qing Dynasty, it did not overthrow the rule of imperialism, feudalism, and bureaucratic capitalism. Please adopt.

Old China was not only poorly industrial-scale in terms of output, but also structurally deformed. The output value of means of production is very low (about 30% or less), and the output value of means of living consumption is high (about 70% or more). The level of industrial technology is very low, and most of them are engaged in some repairs and assemblies.
The industrial layout is extremely unreasonable, and a very small number of industries are almost all concentrated in a few large cities along the coast. For example, in 1936, 94% of the industrial output value in the customs was provided by the six cities of Shanghai, Qingdao, Guangzhou, Beiping, Nanjing, and Wuxi. There is almost no modern industry in the vast interior, and the so-called industries in cities below the middle level are basically handicrafts such as cloth mills, dyeing mills, wineries, and blacksmith shops.

Under the oppression of imperialism, feudalism and capitalism, old China made a step by step transition to socialism.

Old China should be from ancient times to 1949, right? The problem is also big, I suggest you read "Five Thousand Years of China", which is concise and easy to understand.
On August 29, 1842, the Qing Dynasty and Britain signed an unequal treaty of humiliating the country, the Sino-British Treaty of Nanjing. Every patriotic descendant of Yan and Huang will never forget this day, it is the first national shame day in modern history! The "Treaty of Nanjing" had disastrous consequences for Chinese society, as the imperialist powers invaded, plundered, and carved up China, and from then on, China began to transform from an independent sovereign state to a semi-colonial and semi-feudal society in accordance with Article 2 of the treaty. >>>More

In 1860, the British invaded Beijing and broke into the Old Summer Palace, turning the world's most beautiful and splendid building into ruins. This is a humiliation for the generation of Chinese people.
Most of the humiliation suffered by old China came from the European and American powers, starting from the first Opium War, China was forced to open the country, the incompetence and weakness of the Qing ** made the foreign powers invade a lot of China's territory, signed many unequal treaties, etc., China also became a semi-colonial and semi-feudal society, and later there was a full-scale war of aggression against China by Japan, but it was this war that united the Chinese and defeated Japan and established New China. >>>More
