What does a dynasty die for?

The dynasties established by the Han people in Chinese history, the Qin, Han, Sui, Tang, Song, and Ming, all had a characteristic: at the beginning, they were all two-level governments, and they were resolutely unwilling to set up provincial-level governments with larger areas or unified powers, but later because the provincial-level governments were too small to calm down local turmoil, they had to decentralize power and let the provincial-level political regions expand and centralize power, so that they could have the ability to suppress the uprising, and the result became a three-level government.

However, every time the local power is too great, it will always lead to a divided situation, and the new dynasty will learn the lessons of the previous generation, and once again strengthen the weak branches. Therefore, the design of the local government of the Han dynasty was to continuously cycle between the second and third levels.

Only the dynasties established by ethnic minorities, namely the Yuan and Qing, did not exist such a cyclical cycle. Because they are not worried about the combination of provincial governors and local forces. This is the first rule.

The second law, and the first minor law under this big law, is the cycle of centralization and decentralization of power by provincial-level governments. At the beginning of the establishment of dynasties, the power of local officials was usually divided into three or four, for example, the power at the level of Qin and Han counties was the separation of powers.

The advantage is that the local officials are holding each other down and cannot confront the central government, but the disadvantage is that the local government is very weak. Therefore, the Eastern Han Dynasty originally decentralized power, but after the outbreak of the Yellow Turban Uprising, it had to let the state pastor centralize power.

As a result, as soon as power was centralized, it created separatist forces, and the new dynasty had to divide power again.

In the Song Dynasty, the decentralization reached the extreme, and the four powers were separated, and as a result, the local people were unable to resist foreign invasions, and in the Yuan Dynasty, power was centralized again. In this way, there is a continuous cycle in decentralization and centralization.

The third rule is that the imperial court is always worried about the magistrates, and likes to send mobile inspection teams to inspect the localities, but after a long time, these inspectors become more and more powerful, and they evolve into fixed magistrates, and then the imperial court is not at ease again, and then sends a new central inspection team. Therefore, in Chinese history, the names of local and provincial officials do not sound like permanent officials, they all have a verb, and they all seem to be in motion, such as assassination, province, and governor.

What is the meaning of "thorn" in the history of assassination in the Han Dynasty? It is the meaning of espionage and the meaning of checking and questioning things. Therefore, this official position was originally intended to be sent temporarily, which is equivalent to the central inspection team. As a result, at the end of the Han Dynasty, the power of the assassin gradually became heavier, and finally evolved into a state pastor.

There were more than 300 states in the Tang Dynasty, and they couldn't manage it, so the central government set up various provinces and set up interviewers in the provinces, which was also a dynamic name, and the purpose was to patrol the states, but it only played a supervisory role to help the central government watch the magistrates.

But later, they all became festival envoys, forming a feudal town.

The high-ranking officials of the Yuan Dynasty were called "Xingzhongshu Provincial Affairs", which was originally used as a representative of the central government during the war to temporarily exercise the special assignment of the central government, but later became a fixed magistrate.

Later, the Ming Dynasty had to set up governors to unite local forces. At the beginning, this governor was also like the assassin history of the Han Dynasty and the interview envoy of the Tang Dynasty, it was mobile, equivalent to the inspector, and the full name of the "governor" was "Governor×× Deputy Capital Yushi (or Yushi of the Imperial Palace)", which means the head of the inspection team of the local patrol on behalf of the emperor. However, at the end of the Ming Dynasty, the patrol gradually became permanent, and the Qing Dynasty directly turned the governor into the chief official of a province, and the political envoy and the envoy set up in the Ming Dynasty became the adjutant of the governor in the Qing Dynasty. Therefore, the evolution of China's historical political regions reflects the emperor's suspicion and distrust of local officials, which Mr. Qin Hui said, which is also a manifestation of the principle of governance in the "Confucian law".

Imperial power is inherently prone to collapse, because you have to rely on others to govern, and you must delegate power, but you can't delegate too much. If an official has a feudal country, he must consider long-term interests and will not prey on the people, but this world is your royal family, and I will leave without taking a handful?

Add to that the effects of natural disasters.

If you are a country dominated by farming culture, if the temperature conditions are not good, how can the crops grow well, what is the farming civilization, where does the food come from, and the people take food as the sky, that is against the sky, and it may be difficult for a dynasty to exist.

There is a huge climate change, the Yellow River has dried up, how can the crops of an agrarian country grow well, and if there is no food to eat, the common people will not admit it, and they will rise up and revolt. It's easy to start a prairie fire, and people will blame a ruling group or even an individual for this state of the climate. Imagine if it is the wisest monarch in the world, the virtue is very high, can he save the dynasty, the answer may also be no, this is called "the days are over", when the climate of nature wants you to perish, you have no way to hold on, so the dynasty is going to perish.

The Ming monarch / famous minister / virtuous minister governs the country, and the cultivators who inhibit the annexation have their own fields, the world is governed and the rich are not suppressed, and the rich are not even in the land, and the poor have no land. Moreover, the more the land annexation in the later period of the dynasty often became more serious, and the state was also dull. For example, during the Wanli period of Jiajing in the Ming Dynasty, from Yan Song to Zhang Juzheng, they were all big tyrants and big landlords with thousands of acres of fertile land.

Looking at the essence through the phenomenon, in fact, by this time the social class has begun to be unbalanced. Now everyone generally has a little common sense of social structure, that is, the pyramid (the society has the most low-income people, the middle income is less, and the highest income people are the least) and the olive-shaped (the highest and lowest income people are relatively small, and the middle-income people are the most) social structures are relatively stable, in which the olive-shaped people live relatively happier lives, but if there is an hourglass-shaped social structure (the highest and lowest income in the society accounts for the vast majority, and there is almost no middle class), the country will have problems.

There are too many poor people, most of them can't eat, but on the contrary, the rich people refuse to give money.

We know that almost every dynasty is the end of the world, and the more people die before the establishment of a dynasty, the more lasting the dynasty is, and the more people who die before the establishment of a dynasty, the more durable the dynasty is. It's like why buildings are demolished, not how many more floors are added.

What does it mean to be smashed? There are many people who die, and it also means that those who can't die in ordinary disaster years also die, and it is best that those big families also sing and I appear in a few waves and slaughter each other, which is like a curse, and the stability of the next dynasty depends on the bloody smell of the previous dynasty.

Let's put it in my place, what is the impact of this on people's hearts?

First of all, let's talk about whether the good in this world is greater than the evil or the evil is greater than the good? I think the two are actually equivalent to some extent, just like a person you say he is good or evil? My standard for measuring good and evil here is whether it will damage others to a great extent, most people are balanced between good and evil, and they are a little bit good, which is also the basis for the survival of this society, good is always small and lasting, evil is always explosive and short-lived, some people ask you don't say that it is balanced?

Is there a time when evil is greater than good? Yes, the last days! The last days are the release of evil in the world, just like a pot, the steam in it can't hold back, at a certain time the lid of the pot is overturned, all the gas is spilled out, and then the gas is less, the lid is fastened again, and it is stabilized again, and then it is constantly suffocated, during which there is a constant small amount of gas, but don't worry, sooner or later it will be lifted up again!

A person who survived the last days found that he couldn't stand that kind of evil, because people who usually lived like dogs became two-legged sheep, and people who could usually eat fine grains couldn't even afford to eat, and everyone understood that the evil they usually do, the evil that they thought was nothing, finally devoured themselves.

Just as Xuanzong lived on the streets, mistakenly thought to be a violent beating of stealing pigs, lost his "potential", lost what he said came from God, in fact, from the power of the subordinates, you are also a ball of flesh and bones, can no longer be ordinary, at this time everyone learns from the pain, the evil in the heart is converged, the good is greater than the evil, the society will be stable, and it will be able to develop, at this time, if someone wants to do evil, everyone will stop it, and those evils will also be digested by the society itself, and the society itself is willing to digest, and stability can be sustained.

In fact, governing the country is originally an errand to feed ten children with one bite of food, and it can also be said to be a game of hammer hitting ten gophers.

Otherwise, more than 2,000 years have passed, and there has not been a stable development of high-rise society, and it is slowly far away from the end of the world, and the grandparents and fathers who have experienced those are gone.

And at this time, it's like a clean house that keeps accumulating dust, your left neighbor's son has no retribution for spending money to be an official, and your right uncle's uncle is not guilty of killing someone and trusting the relationship, you will be shaken when you see this, there is nothing evil in it, there is nothing good in your goodness, you don't take advantage of the bastard, why are you not evil?

How many will be shaken?

There will be more and more people who waver, but in this process there are still those who stick to it, they are not fools, they don't know how to be better for themselves, but their inner beliefs are firm enough to hold on.

It's like when watching a movie, many times people expect the villain to win, because they hope that the evil self will defeat the good one, because everything they see in front of them is constantly shaking him, they believe that human nature is evil, but they forget that when the evil in human nature is really released as they think in their hearts, everyone is a two-legged sheep.

The so-called end times are to some extent thorough end times, classic end times, for example, the Ming Dynasty and the Tang Dynasty, the best is the end of the Ming Dynasty that the country is about to die, the ministers are still collecting money, rest assured, and the society will exist stably for a period of time, during which there is previous accumulation (for example, Wenjing's rope to tie money is rotten), and more importantly, some people who are still not kind, they are struggling to support and do what ordinary people understand, but no one is willing to do.

For example, if you are asked to go to Tibet to guard the border now, will you go? Or if you are in a small position, will you do the kind of thing that the leader asks you to do?

In fact, at this time, the society should die, and if it does not die, it is inertia, and it is the result of a series of reforms at the top and the continuous release of goodwill.

But over time, people's hearts are tired, just like those who were full of ambition when they were on the job, but over time, go to your service to the people, I have a good voice, and he still scolds me?

I admit that there are always some people in this world who believe in things that others do not believe, and have no regrets until they die, but most of the people who are still exporting positive energy to this society are slowly swallowed up by evil, and it is not a big evil, but the good exported to others is less than the evil, and the evil of the whole society is covered in a large area, and the small good is hard to support, and in the end, no matter whether it is good or evil, no one can hold it, simply, reshuffle the cards!

The so-called land annexation, the system and everything, are all imaginary.

First, there are good and evil in human nature, most of the time the good is slightly greater than the evil, the standard of good and evil here is to damage others to a large extent (such as crippling them, taking their lives), and the small degree of damage is not clear, whether you are admitted to Tsinghua University in the college entrance examination also squeezes out the opportunity for others to be admitted to Tsinghua University, this standard exists in the hearts of the people, most people can not clearly define, but it is much easier to distinguish in practice, for example, the vast majority of people will not meet people on the road m, this is the first argument of the good self.

You have to admit it, and if you don't admit it, you have to admit it, otherwise your life should have been erased by someone's whim!

Second, people are always good (referring to the good that is slightly greater than the evil most of the time), the evil will also be greater than the good, and once it happens, it is explosive, such as killing people in a hurry, pay attention! This is very similar to the rise and fall of the dynasty, the pot lid is always lifted instantly, I haven't seen anyone's pot lid slowly rise and fall, that can only show that it is not the time to sprinkle, and the next time it will come faster, do you say that it is magical?

People are a bit like dynasties, of course!

If we talk about the system, then after 2,000 years, so many generations still haven't studied a system that will flourish forever? How many talented people have lived in this land, and those who are in high positions and have more opportunities to implement it! If they haven't done it, you will be finished with a system? Unless you and I have the same idea!

Third, man's desires are forever expanding!

Don't be anxious to deny this, just think about it, what you ate when you were a child, and then think about what you ate when you grew up? Now let you live the kind of life you had when you were a child, are you happy? I am like this, I bought a pair of shoes, I thought it was enough, but as soon as the fresh air passed, I wanted to buy another pair, and I didn't want to buy less than a hundred, I wanted to buy something that was not much worse than the previous pair, and even, often, better......

Let me tell you, take land as an example, the dynasty was initially decided, the population was halved, and the land was full of blood, at this time, even if the prime minister asked him to take a province of land, his heart was empty, everyone had just lived, no matter what life he had, as long as he could live, a few acres of land were fine, as long as he could feed, could he still be left?
