Why did Kangxi devote himself to studying Western natural sciences instead of advocating the study o

Because it's not good for your own rule!I am afraid that the common people will question the power of the heavenly monarchy, and I am afraid that the position of the emperor will be unstable, so there are eight shares of Wen. What is not conducive to one's own rule is certainly not called its development. Because of ignorance, ordinary people can be fooled by the Son of Heaven.

At that time, the people who could afford to study were only a minority.

Many of them don't know a few big words

I don't know any Chinese characters.

He also studied Western natural sciences. Hmph

This is a reflection of China's development at that time and people's ideological satisfaction and lack of progress.

Westerners engage in science because their national strength is underdeveloped, hoping to make the country strong. China has been leading the world for 3,000 years and has always been very developed, so people have no motivation to engage in scientific research, and people are selfless and love culture under the embrace of a strong motherland, so our country can create the most prosperous and great culture in the world.

Of course, the lack of attention to science also allows us to reap the consequences of our own mistakes.

Because the national conditions only allow him to study alone.

Kangxi himself said: "When he was young, the Han officials of Qintianjian and Westerners did not get along,......If you think about it, you don't think about it, how can you judge the right and wrong of others? Therefore, he was angry and learned".

According to Li Guangdi's record: Kangxi said, "You Han people don't know the algorithm at all, but there is a person surnamed Mei in Jiangnan who knows some." He's dreaming about it. ”

It can be seen that Kangxi studied Western science just to show off, if everyone else understands, he will still show off a ghost?

The British envoy Staunton said: "It is said that several Chinese monarchs learned from foreign missionaries a wealth of foreign mathematics. However, China's policy does not allow this knowledge to spread among the masses.

They are afraid that after the knowledge of arithmetic is popularized, the native people will be able to calculate the solar and lunar eclipses, and they will be able to make calendars, and the emperor's prestige among the common people will be reduced."

Kangxi knows. I do not know!

He is just his own personal hobbies, curiosity about Western things, and he still relies on the old feudal system theory to govern the country.

No matter how much Kangxi is interested in science, he is still the emperor in essence, and in the position of the emperor, then the traditional ideas and feudal ideas of closing the country will be imprinted in his mind, and the Qing Dynasty at that time had just won many opponents, so Kangxi was very confident in his own strength, and in this case, he would naturally choose Confucianism to carry out moral restraint, so that all the ordinary people in the world would agree with his own governance.

The royal family has always been centralized, and when all the power is in the hands of one person, this matter is already unscientific in nature, so no matter how much he likes science, he will not think about the issue of equality for all, so in this case, Confucianism must exist, and the Qing Dynasty at that time happened to be the time when all countries were seeking defeat, and Kangxi at this time was thinking about how to collect more benefits, not how to study the newer**.

After all, other countries have not developed any advanced equipment, for the Qing Dynasty does not pose a threat at all, and it is too wasteful to spend a lot of money to study the upgrading of the armed forces, and the Qing Dynasty at this time basically has no money, the silver in the treasury is stretched, and the most important thing is to work hard to develop the economy, which is also the main reason for the closure of the country and the shackles of Confucianism.

In fact, there is a certain truth in thinking about this matter, we can't expect an emperor to talk about equality and democracy with the common people, because these two words don't exist in the emperor's mindThe emperor is likely to love the people like a son, but he will never be a son of the people, after all, the emperor sometimes needs to behave, if the actions on the moral high ground are done, then the emperor will be the end.

Kangxi likes natural science is his interest, Confucianism is conducive to the rule of imperial power, in order to consolidate the position of the Qing Dynasty, he did not give up Confucianism.

Because the Qing Dynasty was in a state of seclusion and seclusion, it was difficult to get rid of the shackles of Confucianism and move towards a strong country in science and technology by engaging in scientific research on its own without communicating with the outside world.

This means that the Qing Dynasty will eventually decline, after all, it has not been able to get rid of the shackles of Confucianism.

The influence of the imperial examination system on our country is very far-reaching, and Confucianism has deeply imprisoned people's minds.

It is impossible to change this situation by relying on one person alone, or it takes the joint efforts of many people to improve the overall level.

Although Kangxi has great achievements, his mind is still a little closed.

Only communicate with the outside world and learn other people's technology, instead of blindly closing the country!

Because Kangxi's thinking was not advanced enough, he chose to close off the country.

Because China's farming mentality is deep-rooted, and they all prefer this kind of life.
