Ancient dynasties rose and fell, why did most of them only have a lifespan of about 300 years?

Because in the last years of the dynasty, land annexation was more serious, natural disasters were frequent, peasant uprisings were frequent, and the dynasty declined rapidly, so the life span of the dynasty was not too long.

Three hundred years should be a cyclical issue, not a coincidence.

Friends who study Western history will find that ancient Western dynasties often ruled for more than 300 years, such as the Bourbon dynasty, which ruled for at least 400 years. And the ancient Chinese dynasties also had strong periods, such as the Qin State, the Han Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty, etc., why did they last less than 300 years? I think there are many reasons for this.

First of all, there is a common problem in the succession of dynasties, that is, in the early stage of the establishment of most new dynasties, the king will first carefully analyze the advantages and disadvantages of the previous dynasty's rule, learn from the advantages of the previous dynasty, or continue to use it, remove the disadvantages of the previous dynasty's rule, and abolish the establishment of a new system. Ancient Chinese dynasties were fought for by war, and they must recuperate in the early stage, so the early stage was relatively prosperous, and the later rulers became more and more corrupt, and the exploitation of the people became more and more serious, so there was a rebellion, and there was an opportunity to change the dynasty.

Secondly, there is the issue of population and land. In ancient wars, it was basically the number of people, the strength of the army, plus occasional natural disasters, such as famine years, plague years, the population will be greatly reduced, and after several years and decades of war, the population will be reduced. There is an opportunity for the establishment of a new dynasty, and the per capita land resources are very abundant, and there are few people in the land, so there will be a prosperous era.

The prosperity basically lasted for more than 100 years, there was no family planning in ancient times, there were more and more people, the land was not enough, and the population multiplied to a certain extent, and some people had no food to eat and starved to death. When the common people saw it, the official master's house did not worry about eating and drinking, but he didn't have anything to eat, and he rebelled!

Finally, there are some reasons for the ancient system, we will find that the restriction of the king's rights is constantly improving, to the Ming and Qing dynasties, civil officials are no longer willing to be governed by the king alone, even if the king does not personally govern, the government will not be wasted, so the king's will is also constantly wearing, similar to the "virtual monarchy republic". There are always some uncontrollable factors in the change of the imperial court, which lead to the demise of this imperial court.

In short, the change of the imperial court has always gone through a process of "establishment-revival-strength-decline", if you want to ask, what time is about a cycle of about three hundred years, of course, the reasons for the demise of each dynasty are different, and it cannot be studied simply as an individual case, we are talking about a law here.

It is easy to start a business, but it is difficult to keep a business, and there is no way back to open the country, as long as you rush forward desperately; And if you keep your business, if you don't pay attention to it, you will fall into enjoyment, so it is easy to destroy the country.

In fact, many dynasties are less than 300 years old, just because each dynasty has a faint monarch, but this faint monarch may lead to the demise of the entire dynasty, so it is not more than 300 years.

Because in ancient times, every dynasty would experience establishment, prosperity, and decline, and it would not take more than 300 years in the whole process, because the later emperors did not experience wars, so these emperors would not have good policies during their reigns.

This is because many dynasties have had a lot of rebellions or wars, so these ancient dynasties will not last more than 300 years.

Because the ancient society was still very turbulent, and the state system was not particularly perfect. The quality of the people is not very high, so it is still very unstable.

I think this is the case, because after a long period of peace, many emperors have become more and more lazy and have begun to feel a little degenerate.

There are several reasons for this:1The wars and turmoil in the feudal dynasties increased markedly, and social contradictions intensified markedly. 2.Lack of liturgical education. 3.There is a large gap between the rich and the poor.

Because the length of this dynasty is determined by the performance of the emperors, once there is a faint monarch who is not capable enough, it will lead to the decline of the imperial court.

Because over time, rulers become arrogant, making them feel that they can do anything, that they can control everything.

1. Unbalanced social development. When a new dynasty is established, it must be succeeded from the previous dynasty, and the power has just been established within the dynasty, and all sectors of society have begun to slowly recover and slowly progress. At a certain stage in the development of society, the balance between the various strata of society is broken.

2. The social system is not perfect. In ancient times, it was a feudal imperial system, and the feudal imperial system safeguarded the interests of the ruling class, and the peasant class, which had been oppressed for a long time, would inevitably rise up and overthrow the rule of the previous dynasty.
