Why are there so few people who study the Yuan Dynasty?

First of all, the Yuan Dynasty was a dynasty that conquered the world by force and ruled the world by force. In particular, most of the people who wrote books and lectures at that time were Han Chinese, and the Han people at that time had the lowest status among the three races at that time—the Mongols, Semu, and Han (much more serious than the discrimination against Han people by the Manchus in the Qing Dynasty). Naturally, there are fewer documents about the Yuan Dynasty.

Secondly, the Yuan Dynasty was a short-lived dynasty, so there is not much worth writing about.

Another important point is because of Mongolia.

Many historians regard the Yuan Dynasty as a Mongol dynasty rather than a Chinese dynasty. Many historians have put Temujin.

and Kublai Khan recognized as Mongols, not Chinese. That is to say, when the Yuan Dynasty was born, this Yuan Dynasty was almost not a dynasty of our country, but a period of time when we were invaded.

In addition, the current literary workers and film and television workers do not attach importance to the history of the Yuan Dynasty, which is caused.

In fact, the official history of the Qing Dynasty is the real "serious shortcoming". In what we often call the "Twenty-four History", the last history is the "History of the Ming Dynasty".

Before the "History of the Ming Dynasty", there was naturally also the "History of the Yuan".

But there is no "History of the Qing Dynasty".

This book, but only the "Qing History Manuscript".

The reason why the word "draft" was added is that the book was only a first draft when it was printed and had not undergone detailed proofreading and inspection. And now the most authoritative and only historical book for the study of Qing history is only this "manuscript". Most of the other things are romance.

Because the history of the Yuan Dynasty is not long enough, there are no major events in the Yuan Dynasty, and the emperors of the Yuan Dynasty are not very special, etc.

The Yuan Dynasty (1271-1368) was an important period in Chinese history, but it is true that there are some problems with the lack of historical records about this period. Here are some of the reasons that may explain this phenomenon:

Cultural differences and political systems: The Yuan Dynasty was founded by the Mongols, who had different cultural backgrounds and traditions from the Han Chinese. The rulers of the Yuan Dynasty took a number of measures to consolidate their rule, such as the establishment of an administrative body for the Mongol Pai and the preferential use of the Mongolian language.

This led to cultural isolation between the Mongols and the Han Chinese, and may have affected the historical record of the preservation and transmission of the Zen Prayer.

Cultural Destruction and War: The Yuan dynasty reigned during a series of wars and upheavals, including the fall of the Southern Song Dynasty, the conquest of the Western Xia and Jin dynasties in the northwest, and the two invasions of Japan. These conflicts have led to extensive cultural destruction and the loss of Ho Hui's historical documents.

In addition, there were a series of uprisings and civil strife in the later part of the Yuan Dynasty, which may also have had an impact on the preservation of historical records.

Attitudes and Policies of Rulers: The rulers of the Yuan Dynasty had certain attitudes and policies towards historical records. They paid more attention to the history and traditions of the Mongol Empire, and may not have paid enough attention to the recording and inheritance of Chinese history.

In addition, the rulers of the Yuan Dynasty also took some measures to suppress the culture and knowledge of the Han Chinese, which may have further affected the preservation and transmission of historical records.

It should be noted that although there are relatively few historical records of the Yuan Dynasty, there are still some reliable historical books, documents, and other historical materials. Modern historians have strived to reconstruct and understand the history of the Yuan dynasty through the study and analysis of these sources, as well as comparisons with other relevant periods. Historical research is a field that is constantly evolving and evolving, and new discoveries and interpretations are likely to emerge all the time, providing us with more knowledge about the Yuan dynasty.

1. The Ming Dynasty ignored the Yuan Dynasty when compiling history, and was considered by the Ming Dynasty to be a history of foreign rule.

2. The historical culture of the Yuan Dynasty is very different from that of the Han Dynasty, and compared with the written culture of the Han Dynasty, more attention is paid to oral inheritance.

Among the 24 histories, the compilation of the Yuan history is the most coarse. It lasted less than a year.
