Why is there so much Chinese?

From the perspective of the world, China's population has always been at the leading level, from the founding of the People's Republic of China to the present, China's population has increased significantly in just a few decades, and now it has reached the level of more than one billion, accounting for one-fifth of the world's total population. Why does China have so many people? The reason is complicated, not only because China is making people fast!

In the early days of human history, because there were no labor tools, they could only drink river water and rely on picking wild fruits to live. As a result, human beings have the characteristics of living by water. The hard-working and intelligent Chinese, who mastered farming techniques early on, lived near rivers, and over time, China's population grew.

By the time of the Western Han Dynasty, China's population had reached about 60 million. During the Song Dynasty, China's population had grown to 100 million, and the combined population of Europe at this time was only about 70 million, which means that the Chinese population base was much larger than that of Europe. With a similar birth rate, China's net population growth is certainly much greater than that of Europe, and the longer the population gaps, the greater the population gap.

Later, China experienced several dynastic changes, losing a lot of people during the war, but each time a new dynasty was established, it tried to buy the hearts and minds of the people so that the people could live a more stable life, so the population rose again. In Europe, because there are many countries that have been at war with each other, the population has been consumed by war. In addition, there was an outbreak of the Black Death in Europe, and people infected with this disease were almost unable to get an effective **, and could only wait for death in agony.

The disaster caused a significant decline in the population of Europe, and it took many years for it to gradually recover. As a result, the gap between the total population of Europe and the population of China is getting wider and wider.

In addition to historical reasons, the policy attitudes of European countries have also influenced population development. There are many countries in Europe that advocate free marriage and love, and even simply get married and never have children, resulting in the birth rate of the population has not been able to rise.

Chinese love the big family model, pay attention to many sons and many blessings, prosperous people, and no filial piety has three no queens. Influenced by these ideas, coupled with the fact that China did not adopt a policy of population control after the war and the founding of the country, the population rose sharply, and the country had to adopt the one-child policy to control the rapid population growth.

Because in the past, labor was the main driving force of production, so the population demand was relatively large, in the past, social development needed a large number of people, the demand for the population was relatively large, so the current Chinese population is relatively dense.

This is because after the founding of the People's Republic of China, China's population was very small, so he let go of the birth plan and let everyone have children, so he would achieve such a result.

Because in the seventies and eighties, the more children the better, and later in the 90s, the state introduced relevant policies to carry out family planning.

At that time, the productive forces were not so developed, and manpower was still the primary productive force, so at that time, there was a lot of strength in numbers.
