Why is the prosperous era of Kangqian not recognized by historians?

Because historians believe that a prosperous era requires a high degree of prosperity in all aspects of military, economy, culture and education, and can surpass many neighboring countries. But the prosperity of Kangxi and Qianlong is a sham, Western countries have entered industrialization, and you are backward in the history of the world at that time.

Because the Qing Dynasty implemented a policy of closing the country to the outside world at that time, exchanges with the West were blocked. The West entered the capitalist period through the industrial revolution, and the economy continued to develop.

It is because many people believe that the prosperity of the Kangqian period was a false prosperity and a false prosperity. In fact, this is related to the special policies and limitations of understanding in the Manchu dynasty.

Because the Kangqian Dynasty can be traced back to 1713 at the earliest, but in the same period in the West, Western European countries have gradually completed the establishment of the capitalist system, the capitalist economy has been developed, and the military strength has been greatly enhanced, while the Qing Dynasty in China has reached the peak of the feudal system, and the agricultural economy has developed, but it has gradually derailed from the world.

During the reigns of Kangxi, Yongzheng and Qianlong in the Qing Dynasty, the rulers paid attention to adjusting the relations of production, so that the social economy could be rapidly restored and developed. easing of class contradictions and social stability; the development of the frontier areas; The unified multi-ethnic state was further consolidated, and history calls this period the "Kangqian Prosperous Era". In fact, the "prosperous era of Kangqian" is nothing but a return to the glory of feudal society, and there is a crisis lurking behind the prosperous era. After all, the "prosperous era of Kangqian" was the "return to the light" of economic development in the late feudal society, and the basis of prosperity was the development of the natural economy.

In the mid-to-late 18th century, Western countries entered the era of the Industrial Revolution, represented by Britain. Although the germ of capitalism appeared in China, it was hindered by the feudal ** of the Qing Dynasty, and the policy of closing the country and re-emphasizing agriculture and suppressing commerce were the reflection of this obstacle; The effect was to hinder the budding development of capitalism.

Well, there should be a distinction between positive and negative effects.

Emperor Kangxi created a consolidated and unprecedentedly unified multi-ethnic state, and his descendants Yongzheng and Qianlong inherited his foundation, and jointly created the 150-year-long "Kangqian Prosperous Era" in Chinese history.

Qing Shengzu - Aixin Jueluo Xuanye, Qing Shizong - Aixin Jueluo Yinzhen, Qing Gaozong - Aixin Jueluo Hongli).

The Kangqian Prosperous Era, also known as the Kang Yongqian Prosperous Era, the Reign of Kang Yongqian, and the Reign of Kang Qian, was the last prosperous era of the ancient Chinese feudal dynasty.

This period experienced three generations of emperors of Kangxi, Yongzheng and Qianlong, lasting as long as 134 years, and was the peak of the Qing Dynasty's rule, during which Chinese society reached its ultimate under the feudal system, with the most reforms, the strongest national strength, social stability, rapid economic development, rapid population growth, and vast territory.
