Which of the Chinese economies in the Ming and Qing dynasties was stronger?

Qing Dynasty periodChinese economyThe Chinese economy is a little stronger than it was during the Ming Dynasty, because of the economic foundation of the Qing Dynasty.

It was the development on the basis of the economy of the Ming Dynasty, and it was more perfect on the basis of the Ming Dynasty, and the improvement of various policies significantly improved the economy of the Qing Dynasty, and from the perspective of international status, it was also the status of China in the Qing Dynasty.

During the Ming Dynasty, the agricultural base and commercial base were significantly improvedIt also laid a good foundation for the improvement of the Qing Dynasty later. In the Ming Dynasty, the development of China's agriculture was already very good, after all, China is a big agricultural country, and in the middle of the Ming Dynasty, the trend of commercialization of agricultural products began to appear, and it was also in the Ming Dynasty that commerce was no longer belittled, but more and more people engaged in industry and commerce, which was represented by the Jiangnan region.

In Guangdong, most of the economic agricultural products there are used as commodities to other agricultural products in the lack of agricultural products, which brings self-evident benefits, some landlords have followed suit after seeing it, thus driving the development of agriculture and commerce.

The Qing Dynasty improved the agricultural foundation of the Ming Dynasty, greatly increased the productivity, and naturally contributed to a more solid economic foundation. And during the Qing Dynasty, the Qing Dynasty.

Encourage people to vigorously produce agricultural products, and repeatedly issued policies to benefit the people, coupled with the clearing of wasteland, the expansion of China's agricultural production land, greatly increased the production value of China's agricultural products, and China's economic agriculture is no longer aimed at the country, the Qing Dynasty has increased the number of foreign agricultural products, China's economy and agriculture have reached the peak that the previous dynasty could not cross.

In terms of population, the Qing Dynasty is also the highest in all dynasties, and the population represents the productive forces in a large agricultural countryDuring the Qing Dynasty, the national production value reached 32 percent of the world, while the production value of the whole Europe was only 22 percent. According to historical records, the population of the Ming Dynasty was about more than 100 million, and the Qing Dynasty was three or four times that of the Ming Dynasty, and there were only ten cities in the world with a population of more than 500,000, and China occupied seven, so the production value brought by the population of the Qing Dynasty was far from comparable to that of the Ming Dynasty.

I think the Ming Dynasty was relatively strong, because in the early Ming Dynasty, Zheng He's seven trips to the West promoted the development of China's economy, and at the end of the Ming Dynasty, there was the budding of capitalism, and it was important to **.

When it was still the Ming Dynasty, China's economy was stronger, because when the Qing Dynasty experienced a closed country, the economy had retreated.

The overall economy of the Qing Dynasty was stronger than that of the Ming Dynasty, and in the 50th year of Qianlong, the national economy of the Qing Dynasty accounted for more than 30 percent of the world, and 10 percent more than that of Europe.

The economy of the Ming Dynasty was relatively strong, and the Qing Dynasty was the last dynasty of China, so you can imagine how backward the economy was.

The economic development of the Ming and Qing dynasties is mainly manifested in:

1.Agriculture: New species introduced from abroad during the Ming Dynasty such as corn, sweet potato, potato, peanut and sunflower.

2.Handicrafts:

1) The cotton textile industry has been pushed from the south to the north in the Ming Dynasty.

2) Suzhou was the center of the silk weaving industry in the Ming Dynasty, and Nanjing came later.

3) Jingdezhen is the center of porcelain making (blue and white porcelain) in the country, which sells well at home and abroad.

3.Commerce: During the Ming and Qing dynasties, the commodity economy was unprecedentedly active. Beijing and Nanjing are the best cities in the country.

4.Capitalism in its infancy:

After the middle of the Ming Dynasty, in the textile industry in Suzhou, Songjiang and other places, there were many machine households for the purpose of producing goods.

They opened a machine room and hired mechanics for production, and there was a production method of "machine owners contribute, and machine workers contributed". The machine owner was the early capitalist, and the machine worker was the early wage worker. This relationship of employment and employment between them is a capitalist relationship of production.

During the early Qing Dynasty, China's total GDP accounted for about the world's total, ranking first.

There is no comparison, the reason is very simple, since the beginning of the Yuan Dynasty, we are closed to the country, that is to say, our communication with the outside is even zero, and even the board can not go to the sea, no contacts, there is no economic strength, after all, self-sufficiency, say that you can rank as much as you want, there is **, there is a surplus and deficit, only to know how you are.

In the early Qing Dynasty, China's economic strength ranked first in the world.

The level of productivity in ancient times could not be counted in terms of GDP.

In terms of national fiscal revenue, the early Qing Dynasty was about at the upper middle level of the world, and by the end of the Qing Dynasty, it was at the lower middle level.

The Ming Dynasty was relatively strong.

The two great dynasties of the Ming and Qing dynasties are two dynasties with deep influence in Chinese history, as for the strong dynasty, the Ming Dynasty has an advantage in comprehensive comparison, and the per capita GDP in the economy accounts for 75% of the world, and one-third of the world's ** has been earned by China, and capitalism has emerged.

Military, Taizu destroyed the Mongol Empire across the world, Taizong's five expeditions swept Mongolia so that the descendants of Genghis Khan competed to pay tribute to the Ming Dynasty, Shenzong Wanli's three major expeditions, and the small Japan that was wiped out by the Eastern Expedition did not dare to go to sea for hundreds of years (otherwise the Tatar Qing Dynasty would definitely cede land in advance and pay compensation) Yizong Liuluowan Victory (the dynasty almost wiped out the sea coachman when there were still a few years to fall, and the Netherlands was the main force of the East Asian Navy.

Comparison of land area

When the Ming Dynasty was first established, it was only a southern regime. After years of campaigning, Zhu Yuanzhang eliminated the separatist regimes in various places and drove the rulers of the Yuan Dynasty back to Mongolia.

After Zhu Di ascended the throne, he continued to conquer the Northern Yuan. In addition, the territory of the Ming Dynasty was constantly expanded in the northeast. Thus, during the Yongle period, the land area of the Ming Dynasty reached its highest peak - according to the "Examination of the Area of the Territory of the Chinese Dynasties", the land area of the Ming Dynasty at that time was 9.97 million square kilometers, which had already surpassed the Han and Song dynasties.

When the Qing Dynasty arose outside the Guan, it was only a small piece of land. In the confrontation with the Ming Dynasty, the Qing Dynasty continued to encroach on the land of the Ming Dynasty and was able to gradually grow. In 1644, the Qing Dynasty entered the customs and replaced the Ming Dynasty as the new unified dynasty.

Subsequently, the Qing Dynasty eliminated the Dashun regime, the Daxi regime, the Nanming regime, etc., and unified the whole country.

After more than 100 years of continuous expansion of the four dynasties of Shunzhi, Kangxi, Yongzheng and Qianlong, the Qing Dynasty reached the highest peak in 1820 - according to the "Historical Atlas of China", it was 13.16 million square kilometers, which was twice that of the Han Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty, the Song Dynasty, and the Ming Dynasty.
