Throughout the history of each dynasty in our country, we will find an amazing historical fact! It is the curse that almost most dynasties will not exceed 300 years.
At that time, Qin Shi Huang took great pains to unify the world, and at the same time unified writing and weights and measures to become the first emperor. The result? Soon the Second perished, and the once most powerful existence was wiped out in one fell swoop.
The Han Dynasty was even more so, when it was strong, the Huns fled in embarrassment, and they didn't even dare to stay on the grassland, only to develop further north, the Han Dynasty could not be said to be not strong, it could not be said that it was not powerful, but the national fortune only lasted for two hundred and fourteen years, and there was a new dynasty of Wang Mang between the Eastern and Western Han Dynasty.
The Tang Dynasty is also a relatively powerful existence on the mainland, even more so in terms of military, economic and technological technology, but after a few generations, it can't escape the curse of 300 years, and it barely makes up 300 years. This was especially true in later dynasties, when the Song, Yuan, Ming, and Qing dynasties perished. Only the Song barely exceeded a little bit in the Northern and Southern Song Dynasty combined, but it soon perished.
The Northern Song Dynasty and the Southern Song Dynasty were not strictly speaking a dynasty. Is there really a dynastic curse in this world? Each dynasty has only 300 years of national fortune, and no matter how hard it tries, it will not exceed this number.
If not, why are these dynasties like this? Why is that? In fact, many historians and economic and social experts have explained this problem through scientific inference, let's see how this problem is explained.
First of all, all dynasties have a period of centralization to weakening power, at the beginning of the centralization of power, directly through the center to give orders to the whole country, but slowly with the economic development found that such an administrative method is not suitable, at this time the local military power began to slowly increase and grow, which caused the phenomenon of sometimes a monopoly in the local area.
The second and most important problem is that land annexation cannot be solved. In fact, many of us are not aware of this important issue. This seems to be a small matter, but it is really a big matter related to the national system, if the land cannot be evenly distributed, then it is not far from the end of the dynasty.
At the beginning of each dynasty, the rulers would redistribute the land. In this way, a thriving scene of the cultivator owning his land is formed. However, one of the biggest weaknesses of the small-scale peasant economy is natural disasters, as long as a natural disaster occurs, many families in the world will go bankrupt, and these bankrupt families will inevitably sell their land to others if they want to live.
As a result, the longer the dynasty, the more powerful the land annexation. The landless peasants had to be exploited. In the end, exploitation is the time to overthrow the dynasty by force.
This is the real reason why all dynasties do not last more than 300 years.
-
The two main reasons for the rise and fall of a dynasty are military power and land. No matter how powerful the emperor was, he could not do everything himself, and some of the people who held military power slowly swelled, and the land of the peasants could not be evenly distributed, and the landless peasants had to be exploited, and in the end they had to overthrow the dynasty by force.

In ancient times, it was an agricultural civilization, and what the common people needed was land, and as long as they had land to plant, they could live self-sufficiently. However, often after the establishment of a dynasty, the later the land annexation becomes. At the same time, the population is also growing, but with the development of time, the number of people has risen, but the land annexation is becoming more and more serious, which makes the people unable to be self-sufficient.
Another point is that all dynasties have a period of centralization to the weakening of power, at the beginning of the centralization of power, directly through the center to give orders to the whole country, but slowly with the economic development found that such an administrative method is not suitable, at this time the local military power began to slowly increase and grow, which caused the phenomenon of sometimes a monopoly in the local area.

There are really not many dynasties that have more than 300 years of feasting and traveling, and the Zhou Dynasty knows that the east and west weeks are 790 years in total, which is the longest recorded dynasty, and the previous Xia Shang did not know how many years it was because there was not enough information to prove it, but how could the Yin Shang have to be more than 300 years.
Some people say that the Han Dynasty also exceeded 300 years, but in fact this is up for debate, because the Western Han Dynasty and the Eastern Han Dynasty have basically no connection and are not in the same vein, so they should be excluded.
Strictly speaking, the Tang Dynasty does not count, the Tang Dynasty has a total of 21 emperors, and they have enjoyed the country for 289 years, but it has not reached 300 years.
The Song Dynasty lasted for more than 300 years, with a total of 18 emperors and 319 years. Although it is also divided into the Northern Song Dynasty and the Southern Song Dynasty, it is different from the two Han Dynasty, the two Song Dynasty are in the same lineage, and they have the same relationship as the East and West Weeks, and they have a succession relationship, which can be counted as different periods of a dynasty.
Even if the Ming Dynasty adds the small court of the Southern Ming Dynasty, it is only 200 years and 94 years, and if you don't count the Southern Ming, it is only 276 years.
To sum up, the only dynasties that can really be determined for more than three hundred years are actually the Zhou Dynasty and the Song Dynasty. If you reluctantly add one, it is the Shang Dynasty, but there is no definite record of the specific founding year of the Zhenhu Dynasty and the time of destruction, probably from 1600 BC to 1046, but the basic context is still there, the Shang Dynasty has a total of 17 generations and 31 emperors, and there should be no problem for more than 500 years.

The earth's climate change cycle, as well as the adjustment time cycle of feudal production relations, are important reasons for this.
-
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.

China's feudal dynasty lasted for more than 2,000 years, and the reasons are:
1. Unity of text. Before Qin Shi Huang unified China, the writing between the vassal states was not unified, and the writing was mainly Jinwen, but there were differences in writing.
2. Unity of ideology and culture. Before the Qin Dynasty, the ideological and cultural circles were a situation of "a hundred schools of thought contending", but after the establishment of the Qin Dynasty, it was established that Legalism was the mainstay. During the period of Emperor Wu of the Western Han Dynasty, the policy of "deposing a hundred schools of thought and respecting Confucianism alone" was formally established, and since then Chinese culture has been represented by Confucianism and has continued to this day.
3. Unique political system. Centralization is the characteristic of Chinese feudal society, whether it is the Qin and Han dynasties of the "three princes and nine secretaries system", or the Sui and Tang dynasties of the "three provinces and six ministries system", or the Ming and Qing dynasties of the "responsible cabinet system", its ultimate purpose is to strengthen the centralization of power, so as to ensure the stability of the regime.
4. The essence of China's feudal society is the "small peasant economy", the people are self-sufficient in food and clothing, and the peasant uprisings of all dynasties are forced by the inability of the lower classes of people to live, but the unity of ideology and culture makes one dynasty disappear and another dynasty is established, which is due to the unity of "writing" and "Confucian culture". It was not until the introduction of new Western ideas into China in modern times that the ideas of the Chinese people were liberated, but "writing" and "Confucian culture" have continued to this day. But the new era has given it a new historical mission.

Part of the reason is because of the superstition of the people, the rulers use religion and other means to control the people and protect their own rights and interests, for example: if you don't listen to me, you will be condemned by the Buddha and so on, the people are affected by this superstition, and naturally dare not overthrow the feudal dynasty.

The Eastern and Western Zhou Dynasty lasted for a total of 800 years, but the Zhou Dynasty was a relatively loose feudal state, and basically existed in name only for the next 300 years. The longest unified feudal dynasty should be the Han Dynasty, with more than 400 years!So people often say: >>>More

Yao Ming is the pride of our Chinese men's basketball team, and has successfully opened up the Asian player market in the NBA, allowing us to see that Chinese basketball players are also very goodused to play for the Rockets, but there were a lot of high-profile performances, so people will ask when Chinese basketball will have another rare representative like Yao Ming? This problem is actually relatively slow, and it is estimated that it will take at least 20 years, after all, Yao Ming has suffered too much. >>>More
