Why is it difficult for ancient Chinese dynasties to last more than 300 years?

Speculation is that when a political group reaches a certain size, it is inevitable that it will become an organizational terminality.

Speculation 2 Earth's climate evolution For example, from the Yuan Dynasty to the end of the Qing Dynasty, it belongs to the Xiaoice period, and the dynastic change mostly occurred during the period of frequent natural disasters.

In fact, not only China, but the whole world cannot break it. Like we often hear about Rome and the like, in fact, the same people in power have not survived these 300 years.

In fact, Rome was not a country, but a civilization. Its emperor has also collapsed countless times, and the people in power are not the original batch or that family.

The core reason is class solidification. On this issue, I suggest to you, there are experts who explain it more carefully than me, and there are people who dare to say it more. A lot of things, I know, but I don't dare to say.

Judging from the historical record,There are three dynasties that are more than three hundred years old.

1. [Zhou Dynasty] The Zhou Dynasty was a hereditary feudal dynasty after the Shang Dynasty in the history of China, which was divided into two periods: the "Western Zhou" (1046 BC, 771 BC) and the "Eastern Zhou Zhiqing" (770 BC, 256 BC).

Combined, it is more than 800 years, making it the longest dynasty in history.

2. [Han Dynasty Bend Lu Dynasty] The Han Dynasty is a dynasty in Chinese history that emerged after the short-lived Qin Dynasty, which is divided into two historical periods: the "Western Han Dynasty" (202 BC - 9 AD) and the "Eastern Han Dynasty" (25 AD - 220 AD), and if Liu Bei's Shu Han is not counted, it also has a history of 400 years.

3. [Song Dynasty], according to the changes in the capital and territory, the Song Dynasty was divided into the Northern Song Dynasty and the Southern Song Dynasty, collectively known as the Two Song Dynasty.

From Zhao Kuangyin's accession to the throne in 960 to the fall of the Southern Song Dynasty in 1279, the Song Dynasty coexisted for 318 years.

It is mainly related to the annexation of land. This problem will affect the reputation, and it will affect the entire court.

The main thing is that it is easy to fight the country and it is difficult to defend the country, history is moving forward, if the emperor is mediocre, it will bury the dynasty. So few dynasties last more than three hundred years.

Because the ruling class will gradually decay, the founding emperors have difficulty starting a business, they know the importance of the people, and they know that they care for the people, but the subsequent emperors have been clothed and fed since childhood, so that they do not understand the people's livelihood and suffering, and they treat the people more exploitatively, so that from generation to generation, the people will be forced to rebel.

The dynasty is only 300 years old, in fact, this has something to do with the speed of social resources in ancient times.

Taking land as an example, the most important social resource in ancient times, when the new dynasty was established, land resources were redistributed, and all classes were able to obtain some land more reasonably. After a few generations, the land began to circulate into the hands of those who managed it well, and it was often a scene of prosperity and prosperity. Therefore, the heyday of history is almost always followed by irreversible decay.

Because of social stability and no other external intervention, the strong will take advantage of their innate advantages to obtain more resources. After the weak lose their original resources, the road to the strong through the normal channels of the scum is even more blocked. Therefore, the social class as a whole will show a trend of the strong getting stronger and the weak getting weaker, and the gap between the two will become more and more obvious.

Therefore, after a few generations, the land began to be concentrated in the hands of the powerful and powerful, and a large number of peasants lost their land and became tenants or displaced people. The state treasury revenues plummeted, but expenditures could not be reduced, or even more, and the finances began to be tightened. For the peasants, having lost their land, they became natural candidates for an uprising.

For the state, every time a peasant becomes a tenant farmer or a displaced person, it means that the actual control of the local government is reduced by one point. Taxes, troops, and labor were also out of control. At this time, only one fuse is needed, perhaps a natural disaster or a man-made disaster, which may become the last straw that crushes a dynasty.
