Why is China s 5,000 year history still less than the 200 year old history of the United States?

This is not based on time, but on the major events and policies of the state in a particular era!

The so-called "200 years of the United States" refers to the 200 years of modern times, during which China experienced a semi-colonial and semi-feudal period, a major event that made China far behind the United States; Since the Qing Dynasty, China has been closed to the outside world, a policy that has made China fall behind in this particular era. In the past 200 years, the United States has vigorously developed the capital economy, and this policy has made it stronger than China.

Culturally speaking, since the United States is only a country without deep cultural roots, it is normal to follow the trend of the times. In the past 5,000 years in China, Confucianism has firmly controlled other Chinese ideas (including progressive ones), and in the end they are "incomparable" because they have not kept up with the times.

When the United States was founded, it was a capitalist society, this kind of social system was more popular with the people, suitable for the development of productive forces, China only entered the capitalist society in the late Qing Dynasty, but after many years of warlord warfare, it also hindered the development of the productive forces, 60 years after the founding of the People's Republic of China, practice has proved that the road of socialism is also not feasible, China is now crossing the river by feeling the stones, and the United States is actively having a lot of good experience, and China is still learning from others.

Since the Ming and Qing dynasties banned the sea, China was basically doomed to decline. Especially in the Qing Dynasty, the development of firearms was also restricted. Moreover, ancient China has always emphasized agriculture and suppressed commerce.

Compared to now, China is definitely not good. But we can compare the future with the United States.

In fact, your thinking is not to deny China, but to deny that the world alone pushes the United States, and there are many other nations with a long history of development, but in terms of world rankings, aren't they all inferior to the United States in 200 years?

The United States is not a concept that is culturally equal to some countries, its development is based on the development of the world, even if ethnically speaking, there are no Western European countries such as Britain and France, can you imagine the United States? Not to mention science, culture, or military, did the United States make it up on its own, regardless of the history of the world?

It's elementary school homework!

Is there such a comparison? What is the good time than the bad time? China has been the number one in the world for 5,000 years, and it has been the number one in the world for 4,000 years. The way you compare is not right.

China was still the first in the world during the Tang Dynasty, and then it didn't stand still, which shows something.

Then why do some people live to old age and still work as security.

Someone in their 20s is the backbone of a business???

Why? Hehe.

According to you, Africa should be the most developed.

It's been a long time, and it's decayed.

Can a 500-year-old man compare to a 20-year-old man?

Because China has a cultural inheritance from ancient times to the present, while the United States has been remembered since its founding in 1774, there is such a historical gap.

Because the United States was founded after the Revolutionary War, the United States is only more than 200 years old.

Because we have also developed for 5,000 years in history, and there are records in this process, but the United States has no records of this.

The United States was only counted after the founding of the State after the Revolutionary War in 1774, and before that it was only a colony of Britain. But China was started by the Three Emperors and Five Emperors, and it is a country with a long history.

The United States was founded too late. There's nothing to compare with this.

The original inhabitants of North America were Indians. From the 16th to the 18th centuries, Western European countries that were engaged in the primitive accumulation of capital invaded North America one after another. By the middle of the eighteenth century, thirteen colonies had been established along the Atlantic coast of North America, and the colonies were relatively mature economically, culturally, and politically.

However, a rift arose between the colonies and Britain, and Britain continued to adopt a high-pressure policy towards North America, causing strong resentment among the residents of North America.

On July 4, 1776, the independence of the United States was proclaimed, and on July 4, 1776, the Continental Congress issued the Declaration of Independence in George Washington, Philadelphia.

From 1776 to 1783, the thirteen North American states won the Revolutionary War under Washington's leadership. The United States was officially born, and a series of laws and regulations on democratic politics were enacted. Gradually become a completely independent national sovereign state.

There is no necessarily linear relationship between the length of history and the strength of a country!

The main reason why the United States is so powerful? Then ask him how many talents and how many benefits he received in World War II.

If you go to a new place, you want to work hard to carve out a new life.

Because the unique geographical environment of the United States makes the other side not have too many strong enemies around, so he does not have to pay too much attention to the homeland, but can easily look at the world, followed by seizing the first and second world wars and obtaining a large number of war dividends, plus the early stage of the war is a neutral country, so a large number of scientists and human capital have entered his national strength rapidly.

Although the history of the United States is only a short 200 years, the 200 people in the history of the United States have been making progress, which is why the United States has developed so strongly.

Analysis: (1) Before 1700, there were no Americans in the Americas.

2) 1775 1783, American Revolutionary War, founding. After that, he immersed himself in development, took the position, and became the boss.

3) Less than 250 years.

Because the term "America" has only been around for less than three hundred years.

And what happened for more than 200 years? The United States has long since completely exploded China's agricultural civilization by keeping up with the pace of the industrial revolution, and there are always thousands of years of agricultural civilization, and it is impossible to keep up with the pace of the times.

The United States seized the opportunity of the second scientific and technological revolution (manifestations: the invention of electrical appliances, etc.) and became a great power; and gradually developed into a superpower; And seize the opportunity of the third scientific and technological revolution in the middle of the last century (which is not yet over) (manifestation: the world's first computer was born at the University of Pennsylvania in the United States, and atomic energy) to lead the way.

The United States is a modern civilization, while the four ancient civilizations are the great river civilization, that is, the agricultural civilization, and there are great differences between the two, such as the way of thinking, the knowledge that is admired, the mode of production formed, the social system, etc. There is no superiority between the two, it can only be said that agricultural civilization is applicable to this stage (for example, in ancient China, under the condition of low productivity, it can only be agricultural civilization and feudal society, and other developments cannot be developed, and large industry, bourgeoisism or socialism can only get worse and worse at that time. Therefore, I hate the "stupid ancients" and "backward ancients" at every turn, in the case of insufficient productivity, the change can only fail, and the ancients can still create such a brilliant culture on the material basis of poverty and whiteness, and the wisdom of the ancients is not known how many times higher than that of modern people!

I can't help but want to complain, I have a lot of complaints. And industrial civilization, which is more applicable to modern society, can only be said in this way.

In the past, it was because China's feudal society was too complete in its development, obliterating the germ of more advanced capitalism, lagging behind the European society, and being beaten if it was backward, so it was not until the middle of the last century that it was liberated independently, and after liberation, it experienced some twists and turns, and it was not until the eighties of the last century that it entered the road of rapid development.

Civilization is not the older it is, the more powerful it is, but the core of the era in which you live.

China mastered the core of civilization before the Industrial Revolution, and most of its great achievements were from the agrarian era, but by the time the Industrial Revolution began, it was already outdated.

The history of the United States is very short, but by chance, it is in the center of the industrial revolution and the information revolution, and it has also grasped the theme of the times.

Let's use an analogy:

There is a person who is among the best in elementary and middle school, but when he gets to high school, he is not good and does not go to a first-class university, which is a relatively normal situation. If you want to be good at every stage, you must continue to improve, open your eyes to your surroundings, and not indulge in the glory of the past.

At the same time, those past glories are not useless, and without those foundations, you have to start from scratch if you want to improve now.

We keep emphasizing China's long civilization, in fact, we want to tell ourselves that we are no worse than others, as long as we grasp the present, see the theme of the times clearly, grasp it, and create another glory is completely possible.

Just like telling the student who began to lag behind in high school: You were very smart when you were a child, you laid a solid foundation, and now you are not stupid, look at how the classmates around you are improving, work hard, and you will definitely be able to come up.

1. The influence of traditional Chinese culture, 2Retreat and defend the country 3The United States has a short history, has not experienced the influence of feudal society4, and has been influenced by the advanced culture of the West.

Because they are capitalist countries, they determine that exploitation is more powerful than ours, and exploitation is an inducement to economic growth.

If you walk too long, you'll get tired.

When people get old, they are confused, and don't the so-called wise monarchs in the past do a lot of chilling things in the later period.

In fact, the landlord confuses the concept of "country" with the concept of "culture".

China: The PRC history began in 49 years with the founding of the People's Republic of China, which is shorter than that of the United States. Whether Chinese culture was from the Shang or Zhou dynasties is disputed, but less than 5,000 years ago.

And the United States, the culture of the white world is at the same time the same as Britain and France, and at the same time the black people of Africa and the native people of North America, which is not as simple as 200 years.

In the end, whether a state is strong or not has nothing to do with how long it has existed. The quality of the population and the political system are the decisive factors. The fact that the United States has so many ethnic groups and cultural circles, but can live in harmony and co-prosperity shows that it is an open and tolerant country, and such a country is the most tolerant of different points of view.

Therefore, the United States has cultivated, and gathered, the world's largest number of speculative talents (which is similar to the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty, which was once a Xianbei person. But there is no doubt that the United States, as a modern state, is certainly more tolerant than the Tang Dynasty as a feudal state). A clean and just legal society can enable talented people to give full play to their talents.

Grandfather Obama and Locke's grandfather were at the bottom of American society, but they could do big. In contrast, there is a lot more we have to do and not do.

The times create heroes, and he grasps the trend of the times.
