Why do so few people mention the history of the Yuan Dynasty?

Nothing has been accomplished.

And it can hardly be said that it is a dynasty of China.

The time is short, and the development of culture is not good enough.

The status of the Han people in the Yuan Dynasty was not high, and many historical materials have not been preserved in the way of Chinese culture.

This may be because of the narrow-mindedness of the Han people, who are always accustomed to regard the alien race as an alien and regard being ruled by a foreign race as their own shame, so in history, the Han people generally look at the alien regime with another eyeball.

Not a history to show off!!

History rarely mentions the Yuan Dynasty for two reasons:

One reason is that the life span of the Yuan Dynasty was very short, in 1971 Kublai Khan changed the Great Mongolia to the Great Yuan, and after 98 years, it was replaced by Zhu Yuanzhang's Ming Dynasty, and the other reason is that the Yuan Dynasty was a regime built by foreign peoples, and the Yuan Dynasty implemented a cruel ethnic policy, which caused great harm to the Han people.

The history of the Yuan Dynasty began with the establishment of the Yuan Dynasty by Kublai Khan, the ancestor of the Mongolian Yuan dynasty, in the eighth year of the Yuan Dynasty (1271), and ended with the Northern Expedition of Zhu Yuanzhang, the Taizu of the Autumn Ming Dynasty in the first year of Hongwu (1368), and the reign of the Yuan Dynasty in the whole country ended. A total of 98 years before and after.

Historical status of the Yuan Dynasty:

The influence of a dynasty and dynasty on future generations is not only determined by how strong its military construction was. What's more, how much it has left for posterity on a cultural level! First of all, the Yuan Dynasty was a dynasty that relied entirely on military conquest and construction.

The Huns fought and killed on horseback, which can be said to be the extreme, and almost all problems will be solved with their fearless force! It is precisely because of this that the obedience of the people is only a fear of the ruler's force, not a kind of obedience from the heart.

After the formal establishment of the Yuan Dynasty, it still used the practice of emphasizing force and ignoring literature to govern all the affairs of the country. At the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China, there were almost more than ten years of fighting, killing and killing, and in the more than ten years when the dynasty was about to fall, the whole country was still fighting and killing. Such an experience naturally leaves few valuable historical materials.

Because the Yuan Dynasty was the only minority dynasty in Chinese history that did not engage in ethnic integration with the Han people. Unlike the Qing Dynasty (Kangxi had half Han Chinese blood), after the Mongols unified the world, they divided the people of the world into four classes, namely the Mongols, the Semu people (people from the Western Regions), and the Han people (formerly the Jin Kingdom).

Han Chinese in the ruling area), Nanren (Southern Song Dynasty.

Han Chinese in the ruling area). Soon national hatred was stirred, and then it perished.

Yuan. Culturally, it is the most shallowly sinicization, although the Yuan Dynasty unified the land of the Han people, it used Mongolian and Mongolian. National policies and so on are done in accordance with Mongolian traditions, which is difficult to be accepted by the later Han people, so naturally there are not many descriptions.

Although the Yuan Dynasty occupied the land of China, it was less like a ruler and more like a marauder Ran Chang. This is not essentially different from other invading foreign races, as the official history of the Han nationality, it is natural to demote the Yuan Dynasty from the heart, and classify it as a first-class status below the unified dynasty.

1. The historical time span is short.

2. The Mongol Empire and the Yuan Dynasty involved a lot of war history, and it is difficult to clarify the context, which gives the general feeling to the public that it is relatively chaotic.

3. Most of the important figures in the political arena of the Yuan Dynasty include Mongolians and Semu people, whose names are difficult to remember, and the information of the characters is limited, making it difficult to discover the interest of the public.

4. The bureaucratic system, economy, and culture of the Yuan Dynasty were all mixed with multiple cultures, and many histories needed to be combined with Mongolian, Persian and even European data to be relatively complete and analyzed.

First of all, the Yuan Dynasty existed for a very short time, less than a hundred years, and was a short-lived dynasty. Secondly, the Yuan Dynasty did not make any great achievements in terms of cultural governance. In the end, after all, it was a dynasty established by the Mongols, and the Han Chinese, of course, would be selectively blurred.

As for the Qing Dynasty, because it is too close, there is a lot of information and a lot of mention, and if the time is extended for thousands of years, it will inevitably be forgotten.

If defined from the perspective of Chinese national culture, the Yuan Dynasty is actually the history of China's invasion and colonization, it and the Qing Dynasty are all dynasties outside the Guanwai into the Central Plains, the difference is that the Qing Dynasty except for the braids, the rest are respecting Han culture, Manchu and Han dynasties, and intermarriage, trade, and being sinicized! That is, the Yuan Dynasty was placed in China, and if it was placed in Russia or Eastern Europe, then this colonial history would be more conclusive on the surface! The Yuan Dynasty has the largest territory, but it does not have a prosperous Ming monarch, and it is also a cottage dynasty, which cannot be regarded as a historical civilization!

Because the Yuan Dynasty was the first regime established by an ethnic minority in history, its culture is still quite different from that of the Han people, so there may be fewer records.

The Yuan Dynasty is rarely mentioned, first of all, because the names of people are not easy to remember, and secondly, the Yuan Dynasty won the world by force, and ruled the world by force, did not pay attention to writing books and theories, and lacked documentary records. In addition, the Yuan Dynasty was very short, from Kublai Khan's capital to Zhu Yuanzhang's proclamation as emperor, there were not many years in total, and there is another point, the internal factional struggles in the Yuan Dynasty are complicated, and history lovers don't like it very much.

The existence of the Yuan Dynasty was too short, only 80 years, and the culture was not prosperous enough, so the sense of existence was very low.

I think that because it is a political power established by ethnic minorities, government decrees, records, and management are all written and written in the languages of ethnic minorities, so it is very uniform, which weakens the dissemination of facts, and word of mouth has become rare, and history has been forgotten. For example, isn't the Western Xia Dynasty rarely mentioned?

Because it is different from traditional Chinese society, which emphasizes agriculture and suppresses business, Mengyuan is a commercial empire.

There are too few records, and the history books of the Yuan Dynasty were inevitably lost and destroyed in the wars at the end of the Yuan Dynasty.
