What was the real Qing Dynasty like more than a hundred years ago?

It was very poor, the life of the people was very hard, and the people who lived comfortably were only those high-ranking officials and nobles, and Peking Opera was very popular at that time.

In the late Qing Dynasty, people's lives were very poor, and sometimes they even sold their wives and children in order to have a full meal.

Poverty and weakness, more than 100 years ago, China was in a turbulent era, and the Qing Dynasty at that time was poor and weak, and its ignorant understanding of the world led to the history of modern humiliation that everyone knows.

A total of 276 years, as long as the Ming Dynasty's Guozuo.

Compared with the dynasties of a thousand years ago, more than a thousand years ago, it was also thought that it was the Sui, Tang and Song dynasties, and the Qing Dynasty was much weaker than the Sui Dynasty. The Qing Dynasty and the Tang Dynasty should be regarded as comparable, the Tang Dynasty was the most developed country in the world at the time of the war, and the Qing Dynasty had the strength of the Kangxi, Yongzheng and Qianlong dynasties for more than 130 years, so they were comparable; The Song Dynasty was weak, from the founding of the country to the destruction of the country, it never unified its territory, and was pressed and beaten by foreign countries everywhere, so the Song Dynasty was not as good as the Qing Dynasty.

Compared with the dynasties before 1000 years, the Qing Dynasty must be more advanced than before, the previous use of green sparrow shouting bronze, and now it will use fire and porcelain, and now it will also be cast, or forging knives, forging knives and iron farm tools, although the Qing Dynasty in modern times is said to be in Yufu, but there are also a few talents, such as you are a legal person like Liang Qichao.

The Shen Dynasty was much more advanced than it was more than a thousand years ago.

The Qing Dynasty began to decline in the late Qianlong period. In officialdom, it is common to form parties for personal gain, dump each other, sell official positions, and bribe. The army is full of outdated equipment, infrequent drills, lax camp work, and corrupt discipline.

Fiscally, the public treasury is increasingly running short and making ends meet. Class contradictions intensified, and popular uprisings broke out everywhere.

In 1795, Emperor Qianlong Chan Jiaqing Emperor. Qianlong died in 1799, and the Jiaqing Emperor was able to govern in person. However, Emperor Jiaqing failed to address the shortcomings, and the Qing Dynasty continued to decline.

After that, Emperor Daoguang also lost the enterprising spirit of his early monarchs, and his ruling style became increasingly conservative and rigid.
