How to understand the last prosperous era of the Ming and Qing dynasties

It mainly refers to the "last prosperous era" of China's feudal society, when China entered the Ming and Qing dynasties, the social economy continued to develop, and the unified multi-ethnic country was also consolidated, but the imperial power was further strengthened, the country was increasingly closed and self-contained, and there was a crisis hidden behind the prosperity of the prosperous era. At that time, bourgeois revolutions broke out in Western countries one after another, and they began to move closer to industrial civilization. In the tide of world industrial civilization, China is gradually falling behind.

Only then can it be called a prosperous age!

By the end of the Ming Dynasty, the country's GDP accounted for half of the world's.

And when the puppet Qing Dynasty was at its strongest, it was only a quarter of the world.

Don't say that Europe did not develop during the dynasty, but Europe developed during the pseudo-Qing dynasty.

If you want to compare, you must really dare to compare.

Let's be honest. The economy of the pseudo-Qing is worse than the Ming.

Moreover, when facing foreign countries, the puppet Qing said "do the best of China's material resources and rejoice in the country", and the Manchu Qing did not consider themselves Chinese at all, so the later Manchu Qing was just a foreign court serving more powerful foreigners.

Ming is very different, as far as Emperor Chongzhen committed suicide and martyrdom, there is no other emperor who can compare!

The Great Last Chinese Empire - Ming.

In my opinion, it means that in feudal society, the economic, political, and cultural development of the Ming and Qing dynasties reached its highest peak, and then declined rapidly. The so-called last prosperous era refers specifically to feudal society.

The three great eras of the early Ming Dynasty refer to Zhu Yuanzhang.

The "rule of Hongwu" during his reign, Zhu Di.

The creation of the "Yongle Shengshi", as well as Zhu Gaochi and Zhu Zhanji.

Period of the "rule of Renxuan".

Zhu Yuanzhang was not only the founder of the Ming Dynasty, but also the founder of the first prosperous era of the Ming Dynasty. After the establishment of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang adopted many policies to benefit the people and farmers, such as rewarding land reclamation, building water conservancy, reducing or reducing taxes, and so on. Among them, as far as tax reduction and exemption is concerned, Zhu Yuanzhang has exempted taxes many times during his reign to reduce the burden on peasants, so that peasants can devote themselves more attentively to agricultural production.

The recovery and development of agricultural production further led to the development of handicrafts and commerce, and the overall development level of the Ming Dynasty was also improved, and the prosperous era of "Hongwu Zhizhi" also appeared.

Yongle Shengshi".After Zhu Yuanzhang's death, the Ming Dynasty was once because of ".The Battle of JingjingBut after Zhu Di ascended the throne, the Ming Dynasty soon ushered in a new prosperous era, that is, the "Yongle Prosperous Era". After Zhu Di ascended the throne, he actively took measures to promote the development of agriculture, and at the same time he also ordered the construction of water conservancy and the dredging of canals to facilitate agricultural production and trade exchanges. In addition, Zhu Di also conquered Mongolia and Annam many times during his reign.

and other places, the border security of the Ming Dynasty was thus stabilized, and the territory was also expanded. Moreover, Zhu Di also actively expanded overseas exchanges, "All countries come to the DPRK."

Hence this grand situation.

"After Zhu Di's death, his eldest son Zhu Gaochi ascended the throne and was Ming Renzong.

Although Zhu Gaochi only reigned for less than a year, the measures promulgated during his reign, such as stopping the army and supporting the people, and stopping the mining of royal jewels, effectively alleviated social contradictions, and at the same time allowed the people to recuperate. To be Ming Xuanzong.

After Zhu Zhanji ascended the throne, he inherited Renzong's policy of governing the country, and the situation in the Ming Dynasty was further stabilized, and the social economy also developed faster. The prosperous era jointly created by Renzong and Xuanzong is the "rule of Renxuan", which is also the most powerful and politically clear moment of the Ming Dynasty.

Historically, the three prosperous eras of the early Ming Dynasty refer to the rule of Hongwu, the prosperity of Yongle, and the rule of Renxuan.

The rule of Hongwu, the prosperity of Yongle, and the rule of Renxuan were the three major events in the early Ming Dynasty. There is a good development.

The three great eras of the early Ming Dynasty. The first is the rule of Hongwu, and it has become the prosperous era of Hongwu. It appeared during the reign of Zhu Yuanzhang, Taizu of the Ming Dynasty. The second is Yongle Shengshi. It is the prosperous era that appeared during the period of Ming Chengzu Zhu Di. The third is the rule of Renxuan.

The rule of Hongwu, the prosperity of Yongle and the rule of Renxuan are very famous in history, when the country was particularly prosperous and stable, and the people lived and worked in peace and contentment.

1. Politics:

1. The establishment of factory and health institutions during the Ming Dynasty. The germ of capitalism in the middle and late Ming Dynasty.

2. Military Aircraft Department during the Qing Dynasty.

2. Military: 1. Zheng He of the Ming Dynasty went to the West, and Qi Jiguang fought against the Japanese.

2. The victory of the Battle of Yaksa in the Qing Dynasty and the recovery of Taiwan (Zheng Chenggong) 3. Ideology and culture

The Ming and Qing dynasties entered the peak, and the famous ones are Luo Guanzhong's "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", Shi Nai'an's "Water Margin", Cao Xueqin (Gao E) "Dream of Red Mansions", and Wu Chengen's "Journey to the West".

4. 1. Agriculture: A large number of crops are imported from abroad.

2. Handicrafts:

Silk weaving industry: Suzhou, Songjiang and Nanjing were the centers of the silk weaving industry at that time, and the porcelain industry was made: Jingdezhen became the center of porcelain making at that time, producing blue and white porcelain.

1 Economy: The feudal economy developed further, and the germ of capitalism appeared.2 Politics: The feudal unification continued to be consolidated and developed.

3 Culture: There is a prosperous situation, especially in the Ming and Qing dynasties 4 Science and technology: some summary masterpieces have appeared.

Economically, it was prosperous, and the Ming Dynasty appeared in the Songjiang area "machine households contributed, machine workers contributed", that is, the germ of capitalism, although it was later contained, but from the perspective of the Opium War at the end of the Qing Dynasty, the British were dissatisfied that their money was all because of the purchase of Chinese items such as porcelain and tea sellers, and the Chinese bought very few of their items, and their materials flowed out, so they introduced opium and wanted to squeeze the money of the Chinese.

Politically, China's feudal monarchy reached its peak during the Ming and Qing dynasties, especially during the Yongzheng period. However, because our country is closed to the rest of the country, we are still a small peasant economy when foreign countries are competing to carry out the capitalist revolution, and we are lagging behind in comparison.

Personally, I don't think it's a brilliant and clever argument, at most it's a return to the light. Especially in the Qing Dynasty, firearms were already very developed in the Ming Dynasty, but after the Qing Dynasty, not only did not develop vigorously, but regressed. It feels like China's traditional development model has reached a dead end.
