Southern Song Dynasty or Ming Dynasty, which was economically strong?

Surname.. There is one number that is very striking?? The annual fiscal revenue of the Song Dynasty reached up to 160 million guanwen, and the average year in the middle and late Northern Song Dynasty could reach 80 million to 90 million guanwen, and even the Southern Song Dynasty, which lost half of the country, had a fiscal revenue of up to 100 million guanwen.

What kind of concept is this? Let's compare the other numbers to find out. In the 5th year of Ming Longqing (1571), the national income was **2.5 million taels.

In the 28th year of Wanli (1600) after Zhang Juzheng's reform, the annual income was 4 million taels (although Zhang Juzheng died after his death, the relative financial reform was less damaged, and it was only a dozen years after Zhang's death, and it is estimated that this amount is less than the income of Zhang Juzheng's reign). At the end of the Ming Dynasty, the world was in turmoil, under the attack of the Houjin and the peasant uprising, the Ming Dynasty successively increased the levy of Liao, Salary and Salary, that is, the famous "Three Salaries and Factions", which made the people's grievances boil and smoke everywhere. So how much revenue did this practice, which was rated as "drinking to quench thirst", bring the country?

It's about 10 million taels a year. That is to say, at this time, the total financial income of the Ming Dynasty was about 15 million taels. If we believe that the general exchange rate of silver coins is 1 tael ** = 1 copper coin, then at this time the financial revenue of the Ming Dynasty is only less than 1 10 of the Northern Song Dynasty and less than 1 6 of the Southern Song Dynasty, although this is more than 300 years after the fall of the Southern Song Dynasty, although the territory of the Ming Dynasty is much larger than that of the Song Dynasty.

The financial situation of the Qing Dynasty was better than that of the Ming Dynasty, and the initial income of the state in the 7th year of Shunzhi (1650) was 14.85 million taels. During the Xianfeng period (around 1850), the annual income was about 30 million to 40 million taels. The number is still much smaller than that of the Song Dynasty 600 years ago, when China's population had exceeded 300 million, estimated to be more than 2-3 times the population of the Song Dynasty.

It was not until the end of the Qing Dynasty that the country's revenue reached the level of the Song Dynasty. (Due to the exchange rate, the color conversion rate, etc., the income of the Song Dynasty may be overestimated, but even so, it is still an undoubted fact that the income of the Song Dynasty was far greater than that of any other feudal dynasty).

You can't just look at it in terms of taxes.

Because the Ming Dynasty did not levy taxes on literati such as Xiucai.

At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, it was better, but by the end of the Ming Dynasty, the proportion of literati was increasing, so that taxes were basically impossible to collect.

During the prosperous period of Kangqian, it only reached the level of the late Ming Dynasty.

The Song Dynasty valued business, the Ming Dynasty emphasized agriculture, and the Song Dynasty did not regain the lost land no matter how much money there was.

It was the Northern Song Dynasty that was more prosperous, because the Southern Song Dynasty was established by the parties left over from the Northern Song Dynasty. The economy of the Song Dynasty was biased towards the development of foreign trade, and the export rate at that time was even higher than the export rate now.

I think the Northern Song Dynasty was more prosperous, and the economy of the Song Dynasty could reach 3 million yellow silver every year, and there were a lot of goods shipped abroad.

The economic level of the Southern Song Dynasty developed faster and better than that of the Northern Song Dynasty. In the second year of the Kaixi Dynasty of the Southern Song Dynasty (1206), the fiscal revenue reached 80 million yuan, and the population of the country was about 70 million at that time. By the 1900s, the Qing court had 80 million taels, but the population was 400 million.

The purchasing power of 1 guan money in the Southern Song Dynasty was 2 times that of one or two ** in the late Qing Dynasty.

In fact, I think the Southern Song Dynasty was more prosperous, and even reached the point where every family had enough food and clothing, and the treasury was very sufficient.

The Song Dynasty (960-1127) was the period in Chinese history after the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, with nine emperors and 167 years of reign. It is collectively referred to as the Song Dynasty with the Song Dynasty, also known as the Two Song Dynasty, and is also known as the Zhao Song Dynasty because of the royal surname Zhao. Song Dynasty (1127-1279), a period in Chinese history, after the fall of the Song Dynasty, Zhao set the capital of Nanjing Yingtianfu (now Shangqiu, Henan) to the throne, and the Song Dynasty is collectively known as the Song Dynasty, a total of five generations and nine emperors, enjoying the country for 152 years.

The northeast of the territory of the Northern Song Dynasty is bounded by the present-day Haihe River, Bazhou in Hebei, and Yanmen Pass in Shanxi; The northwest is bounded by Hengshan in Shaanxi, eastern Gansu and Huangshui in Qinghai; The southwest is bounded by Minshan Mountain and Dadu River. Song Shenzong occupied Hehuang according to the opening of the Xihe River, and Song Huizong placed the Longyou capital in the north of Qinghai in the stage, and ransomed the Youyun Seven Prefectures with a huge amount of money.

Compared with the Song Dynasty, the southern and southwestern boundaries of the Song Dynasty did not change much, but the northern boundary was greatly moved southward due to the invasion of the Jin people, and each other was clearly bounded by the Yellow River at that time. In the eleventh year of Shaoxing (during the reign of Emperor Jin), Song and Jin agreed to take the Huai River as the boundary. In the following year, the western boundary was adjusted to Dasanguan (southwest of present-day Baoji City, Shaanxi) and the southern end of the Qinling Mountains.

In the tombs of the Song Dynasty, it is common to find a combination of iron agricultural tools, such as plows, cocoons, harrows, hoes, sickles, etc., among which there are more rakes, hoes and other soil-cultivating agricultural tools, indicating that farmers attach importance to deep cultivation and increase in cultivation procedures. During the time of Emperor Taizong of the Song Dynasty, he built Pitang in the Hebei region, and built a 600-mile-long embankment, set up a bucket gate, diverted the water from the lake to irrigate, planted rice, and obtained a bumper harvest.

The achievements in water conservancy construction in the southern region are more obvious, among which the larger ones are the Weir in Jiangbei, the Shitang in Zhejiang, the embankment of the Qiantang River, and the West Lake. One of the most striking features of Song Dynasty agriculture was the development of the tenant system to an unprecedented historical stage. The landlord recruits the customer to cultivate the land, and the customer only pays the rent to the landlord and does not bear other responsibilities.

It is manifested in: agriculture - the expansion of the scope of cultivated land reclamation, the emergence of polders; Rice became the first food crop in the south, and Champong rice was introduced, and the rice output in the Taihu Lake basin has accounted for the first place in the country (Suhu is ripe, the world is full); Cotton cultivation has expanded to a vast area south of the Yangtze River; Tea has become an important cash crop. In terms of handicraft industry, the silk weaving products of Liangzhejiang ranked first in the country; In Jiangsu and Zhejiang, there are "machine households" of private workshops; Hainan Island has more advanced cotton textile tools (the rise of cotton textile industry is of epoch-making significance in the history of China's handicraft industry); The porcelain industry is also very developed, and the Jingdezhen kiln in Jiangxi has become the center of the porcelain industry (porcelain capital); Shipbuilding technology is also at the forefront of the world.

In terms of commerce - Jiaozi in the Northern Song Dynasty was the earliest banknote in the world, and Huizi in the Southern Song Dynasty was also a large amount of banknotes.

Agriculture, industry and commerce have developed in an all-round way. The economic status gradually surpassed that of the Central Plains. Finally, in the early years of the Southern Song Dynasty, it became the center of gravity of the economy!

The economy of the Song Dynasty was stronger. At that time, there were often wars in the Song Dynasty, and wars were very costly to consume financial resources, but at that time, the Qingming Shanghe map also depicted the prosperous scene of the Song Dynasty bazaar, indicating that it was very prosperous and economically strong at that time. Although the Ming Dynasty also often foreign **, but more of a technological development, if the middle and late period did not stop foreign exchanges, then perhaps the Ming Dynasty's technology can bring more wealth.

Whether in terms of agricultural or commercial activities, as well as more critical indicators, the Song Dynasty was far inferior to the Ming Dynasty, so the Ming Dynasty was stronger.

The economy of the Song Dynasty was stronger, and the per capita GDP of the Song Dynasty at that time was several times that of the rest of the world.

Of course, it was the Ming Dynasty, and the Song Dynasty was not as miraculous as they boasted.

Hello dear! Both the Song and Ming dynasties had their own characteristics and influence in terms of economy and force, but it is impossible to simply conclude that their combination would necessarily be the strongest. This is because judging the strength of a dynasty is not only determined by economic strength and military strength, but also involves many other factors, such as political system, cultural development, social stability, etc.

From an economic point of view, the Song dynasty was relatively prosperous during its reign, with significant development in agriculture, handicrafts, and commerce. The economic foundation of the Song dynasty laid its strong position at the time. The Ming Dynasty inherited the economic achievements of the Song Dynasty and made important contributions to overseas ** and commodity circulation.

In terms of force, the Ming Dynasty established a vast military system and carried out a series of important military reforms. The military power of the Ming Dynasty reached a high level in certain periods, and it was able to effectively deal with internal and external threats. However, Pi Langhe's strong economy and military force did not completely determine the overall strength of a dynasty.

Political stability, effective rule, cultural prosperity, and diplomatic relations with neighboring countries also had an important impact on how strong a dynasty was. Therefore, it is an oversimplification and one-sided view to simply add up the economic power of the Song Dynasty and the military force of the Ming Dynasty to judge whether it was the strongest. Historical evaluation is a complex topic that requires a comprehensive analysis and evaluation of various factors.

Summary. Hello, <>

Pro, combining the economic power of the Song dynasty with the military power of the Ming dynasty can be said to be a powerful combination, but it is impossible to say exactly whether it was the most powerful in history.

What if the economy of the Song Dynasty and the military force of the Ming Dynasty were the strongest?

Hello, <>

Pro, combining the economic strength of the Song Dynasty with the military sail power of the Ming Dynasty, it can be said that Fudou is a powerful combination of lack of sedan chair, but it is impossible to say exactly whether it is the most powerful in history.

The Song Dynasty made certain achievements in the economic aspect, and the development of commerce and handicrafts during its period was relatively prosperous, and the state fiscal revenue was relatively high. The Song Dynasty also carried out a series of farmland water conservancy construction and scientific and technological development, which improved agricultural productivity. However, the Song Dynasty also faced some economic problems, such as unevenness, inflation, etc.

The Ming Dynasty had a relatively strong military strength, and during its period, it implemented a series of military chaos and demolition reforms and military technology improvements, established a strong army, and successfully carried out many foreign campaigns. The Ming Dynasty's military use of cherry blossoms protected the security of the country and the integrity of the territory to a certain extent.

However, the measure of whether a dynasty is the most powerful depends not only on economic and military factors, but also on other aspects of overall strength, such as political stability, cultural prosperity, diplomatic relations, etc. In addition, each dynasty in history has its own specific back-to-back scenery and period, and it is impossible to simply compare the strength of its strength.

Dear, <>

Therefore, it cannot be asserted that the economy of the Song Dynasty and the military force of the Ming Dynasty were the most powerful faction in history. Judging the strength or weakness of a dynasty requires a comprehensive consideration of many factors. <>

1.In China's history, agricultural taxes have always been a major component of state revenues, and national taxes are levied on peasants. But in the Song Dynasty, taxes mainly came from industrial and commercial taxes, and by the Ming Dynasty, agricultural taxes were again dominant.

In my opinion, the economy of the Song Dynasty was very developed, both inland and overseas. During the Northern Song Dynasty, Kaifeng was a very prosperous city. The convergence of population, the development of transportation, and the accumulation of wealth brought about by the political center made Kaifeng a very developed commercial city.

The Song Dynasty levied a commercial tax, and the Ming Dynasty did not levy a commercial tax.

2.I think the imperial examination system in the Song Dynasty was still being perfected. For example, Song Taizong adopted the method of pasting exams.

At the same time, due to the popularization of printing, the Song dynasty achieved much more in education than previous generations. Hundreds of thousands of people took the exams in Fuzhou, showing the universality of education. Borrowing from the Buddhist monastic jungle system, educational institutions in the Song Dynasty were also constantly reformed.

3.However, in the Ming Dynasty, the education system centered on the imperial examination had already gone downhill. Of course, in the beginning, educational institutions were also greatly simplified.

** There are no schools under and elementary schools are cancelled at the local level. Although its original intention was to replace the extremely difficult imperial examinations in the Tang Dynasty with the scores and history of officials and students, the number of direct officials and students was very small, resulting in a large backlog of officials and students. In addition, the material preferential policies of the Ming Dynasty to scholars eventually created a corrupt and parasitic scholar class, which was also an important reason for the demise of the Ming Dynasty.

4.The Beijing War originated from the "civilian" fort after the defeat in the middle of the Ming Dynasty, the civil official Yu Qian was born, and the commander was temporarily brought in at the emergency moment, organized the remaining troops in Kyoto of the Ming Dynasty, raided Olad, and saved the bad luck of the Ming Dynasty, 200 people survived in the Ming Dynasty, and successfully held a "struggle" in Beijing, not only Yu Qian arranged every square, but also contributed to the military system of the Ming Dynasty. This war also allows us to see that the Ming Dynasty, which also "admired literature and suppressed martial arts", was far superior to Lu Yanshu of the Song Dynasty in terms of military strength.

The Song Dynasty was more powerful and good, because the Song Dynasty developed very well in all aspects, and the economy and culture reached an unprecedented peak, and if we want to develop the economy, we must develop agriculture and industry and commerce.

The Ming Dynasty was stronger, the Ming Dynasty had a stronger military strength, obtained a very large territory, defended the security of the national territory, and the economic development was also very good.
