The arrival of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms completely sent the Chinese nation into an era of war and strife, and the people lived a life of displacement in the famine or war. This period was also an era of large-scale invasion of the northern ethnic minorities to the south, and the political programs of the multinational era were chaotic, and it was still a "prosperous road in troubled times".

During the period when Taoism was rampant, national politics was a society with a high degree of freedom, and the political program and ideology were about "compromise, struggle, plunder, sharing, openness" and so on. Therefore, ancient China not only had democratic politics, but also implemented it in three periods in a very formal manner.

However, however, it is very emphasized that after three periods of very formal implementation, what has been brought to the Chinese nation is the great division, the great war, the great disaster, and the great hardship.

During the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period, Han women were treated as two-legged sheep and were served with the sheepfold for the army.

The late Eastern Han Dynasty, as well as the middle and late Tang Dynasty, were essentially democratic politics and were very open, especially the Tang Dynasty, which at that time could be described as the first in the world in terms of openness.

The degree of openness of the Tang Dynasty is estimated to be incomparable even to today's Western Europe and the United States.

The Tang Dynasty was the world's largest power at that time, and the gross national product accounted for more than half of the world, but I am only a conservative estimate without data, in fact, the gross national product of the Tang Dynasty was far more than this number, that is to say, when the Tang Dynasty people in China ate big fish and meat, Westerners were still living a life of lack of wealth and lack of people, and the people were not able to make a living, and they ate bran and vegetables. There is no doubt about that.

Take the Tang Dynasty poet Bai Juyi as an example, Bai Juyi was born in a small and medium-sized bureaucratic family in the Central Plains, but Bai Juyi's family raised a lot of subordinates, and raised geisha, which were specially used by high-ranking officials and nobles for communication. What kind of concept is this, even if you are a billionaire today, I am afraid that you can't afford to live like Bai Juyi's family, that is to say, a billionaire nowadays you don't dare to raise a troupe and geisha for your enjoyment. The key is that there were no banks in the Tang Dynasty, and the rich did not lend, they were all really rich people who did not take out loans. It's not like now, but all the rich people take out a lot of debt.

In the Tang Dynasty, any dignitary could live a luxurious life, which shows how abundant the economic aggregate of the Tang Dynasty was at that time.

However, every time the ancient Chinese engaged in democratic politics on a large scale and had a glorious period, what they brought to the Chinese was hundreds of years of disaster, suffering, and great division, and there was not a single time when they were not unified after hundreds of years of division.

After many disasters, pains, and great divisions, the Chinese began to think about change, so Confucianism entered the political arena, and it was not until Zhu Yuanzhang established the Ming Dynasty in the fourteenth century that the imperial court was truly "exclusive to Confucianism".

Zhu Yuanzhang completely blocked other ideas from entering the political field, thoroughly cleaned out the political programs and ideological propositions of Taoism and Buddhism from the upper ideology, and implemented the policy of exclusive respect for Confucianism in a real sense, so that China could live and work in peace and contentment for nearly 600 years. However, the excessive closure of the Qing Dynasty attracted the strong ships and cannons of the Western powers, and brought great disasters and humiliation to the Chinese.

In the late Zhou Dynasty, there were disputes for hundreds of years. The two Jin and Northern Dynasties of the Later Han Dynasty were divided for hundreds of years. After the Tang Dynasty, there were five dynasties and ten kingdoms, until the establishment of the Ming Dynasty, and then divided for hundreds of years. The three times the democratic system was implemented and the three times failed, all that brought disaster, suffering, and great division to the Chinese nation.

It can be seen from this that the "Luo Shu" acquired gossip thought of the Book of Changes is not the ideology and ideological proposition of human experience and political correctness, and there are major political program and ideological defects.

The "Vena Shu" acquired gossip thought is the theoretical basis of Chinese Taoist culture, as well as the theoretical basis of modern Western political culture.

However, since its inception to the present, China's Taoist culture has not formed a complete and perfect theoretical system, but has become a hotbed of cults and crooked ways.

In fact, the reason is very simple, because Taoism has never been able to get rid of the shackles of natural science, has not studied and developed Taoism as a human knowledge, and has never jumped out of the trigonometric geometry principle of "one life two: two gives birth to three, three gives birth to all things" summarized by Lao Tzu in the Tao Te Ching, and was trapped in the circle of natural science and could not extricate himself. As a result, in the study of natural science, the Taoists produced a lot of half-understood heresies. For example, Yin and Yang Technique, Vertical and Horizontal Technique, Guigu Technique, Fortune Telling, Girl's Technique of Collecting Yin and Replenishing Yang, Technique in the Room, Alchemy, Cult and so on are all produced in this situation.

Under the guidance of philosophy, Western political culture got rid of the shackles of natural science and developed Western democratic culture on the basis of the principle of triangular cubes.

However, under the guidance of immature Taoist thought, ancient China practiced Chinese-style democratic politics three times, and each time led to the great division of wars and bitter situations, and finally Confucianism was pushed to the superstructure of the Ming and Qing dynasties, and became the political program and ideology under the rule of the emperor.

In ancient China, after the development of democratic politics failed three times in the Zhou, Han and Tang dynasties, the literati represented by Zhu Xi began to reflect on the ideological propositions of the "Zhou Yi" in the Song Dynasty and began to look for the defects in the "Luo Shu" acquired gossip thought. Under Shao Yong's excavation, the theory of innate gossip was reorganized and improved. As a result, Confucian culture was developed and consolidated under the expansion of Zhu Xi.

The establishment of the Ming Dynasty began to respect Confucianism in the true sense. Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Di completely blocked the political program and ideological propositions of Taoism and Buddhism into the upper ideology, and vigorously promoted Confucianism, positioning Confucianism on the political program and ideology of the superstructure, bringing spring to Confucianism.

Confucianism is, in essence, a dualistic culture, a closed culture, a culture diametrically opposed to an open and democratic three-element culture. Confucianism is to close people's spiritual world, so that people can live in a cultural atmosphere of harmony, sharing, fairness, and harmony between man and nature, in order to achieve peaceful reunification, equality, mutual benefit, and peaceful coexistence. This is the fundamental proposition of Confucianism, which is to put an end to divisions, wars, and strife and realize a society of great harmony under heaven.

The ideological concept of Confucianism has a great relationship with the era in which Confucius and Zhu Xi lived, they were both born in the late stage of the war, the country was in a state of war in which the country was divided for a long time, the country was scarce, the people were living in misery, the country was in urgent need of peaceful reunification, the ideology was in urgent need of unification, and the people were in urgent need of stability and unity.

Zhu Yuanzhang's political program and ideological propositions of completely blocking the two schools of Taoism and Buddhism are also related to his life experience.

In the last years of the Yuan Dynasty, wars and natural disasters caused Zhu Yuanzhang to lose his parents, and he was a flower child who mixed in Taoist temples and temples. He deeply felt the openness and confusion of the minds of the two Taoist and Buddhist schools, and deeply hated the ugliness of the Taoist Buddha who used God's will to defraud the people of money. Therefore, after he won the world, he completely cleaned up the thoughts of Taoism and Buddhism from the upper ideology.

Zhu Yuanzhang's complete blockade of people's spiritual existence and the vigorous promotion of atheistic Confucianism are related to his youth experience.

Even in contemporary times, Taoism and Buddhism are cultural industries that must limit their development. The reason is that Taoist temples and Buddhist temples are not inherited family properties, nor are they public ownership of common industries. The industry of Taoist temples and Buddhist temples is an industry that develops unfettered and disorderly. It is neither public ownership nor private ownership, it is an exclusive industry without a supervision mechanism, and it is a small group of interest organizations in which a small number of people enjoy the wealth of society under the doctrine of God. The management of Taoist temples and Buddhist temples is in the hands of a small number of people, and a few people have the final say in the distribution of all benefits, so Taoist temples and Buddhist temples are the places where corruption is most likely to breed, and you can't manage their corruption, he is corrupt in the name of God, and you say how to manage your secular government.

Therefore, even in contemporary times, the two Taoist and Buddhist industries must be cultural industries with strict restrictions on development. The fundamental reason is that the industries of Taoist temples and Buddhist temples can develop in a disorderly manner without restrictions, so that this kind of economic entity loses the value significance of fairness and justice, and loses the true significance of human development towards civilization. Then it is a human civilization that should not exist and is unreasonable, and it is a human civilization that must be strictly restricted.

The real meaning of the development of civilization in human society is to become more and more intelligent and civilized, and if the existence of a certain social organization is not only not wise, but also more and more uncivilized, then the existence of such civilization is meaningless.

The same is true of Confucianism, in the case of the urgent need of social development, Confucianism occupies the superstructure is a necessary product, and when it cannot lead the Chinese nation to a higher and more civilized society, it is inevitable to abandon it.

However, no matter how much contemporary people hate Confucianism, objectively speaking, Confucianism still represents an upper-class culture of human civilization and a dominant culture in the ideological field.

Looking back at history now, don't think that the Chinese have not engaged in democratic politics, the Chinese have not only engaged in it, but have also engaged in it more than once. First of all, the Xia, Shang and Zhou dynasties were all democratic politics, but it was just a problem of the times, and the democracy at that time was different from the contemporary democracy, but the essence was the same, that is, decentralization and openness.

Why did ancient China not develop into a capitalist society like the West after the 13th century? The reason is very simple, because of the war.

Five centuries of war have left China with a lack of national deprivation and an urgent need for a stable and harmonious society. Therefore, the Chinese at that time firmly gave up decentralization, openness, and democracy, and firmly chose centralization, closure, and dictatorship, and brought nearly 600 years of unification to the Chinese nation.

This is the reason why what era produces what political program.
