The fundamental reason for China's backwardness in modern times is that we have lost the spirit of Confucianism and Taoism, not that we have preached Confucianism and Taoism. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info This loss was caused by the Manchu Qing Dynasty. In order to maintain their rule, the Manchus went to great lengths to destroy China's inherent culture, ideas, and technology. And implant ignorance and numbness into our nation. It's unimaginably sophisticated. Even today, hundreds of years later, we still stubbornly believe that backwardness comes from culture, not from the Manchu Qing Dynasty. Confucius also became a scapegoat for the Manchus. Sad.

We need to restore Chinese culture to its original face. Finding the authentic Chinese culture that can make us wise, far-sighted and proud. Not those things that have long been unrecognizable.

Here's a specific analysis: Let's first review the situation at the end of the Ming and Qing dynasties.

In the thirty-sixth year of Wanli (1608), Macao fell into chaos. Cai Shanji, the magistrate of Xiangshan County, learned of the incident and drove to Macao on a bicycle to quell the riot. Afterwards, the "Ten Rules for Controlling Macao" were formulated, and the Portuguese who violated the law were severely punished. Crimes committed by the Portuguese can be dealt with by the Portuguese themselves. If a Chinese is involved, it must be brought to Chinese officials for trial. Later, the Portuguese were often sent to Guangzhou for trial and spanking.

In 1662, Zheng Chenggong defeated the Dutch to recover Taiwan, not much to say.

Some people are disdainful: Portugal and the Netherlands are just small countries. Why don't you talk about Britain and France? Because, in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, Portugal and the Netherlands were the superpowers of the Western maritime world. The Industrial Revolution in Britain was in the 18th century.

The above two things may not be comprehensive, but they can also reflect the attitude and ability of the Ming Dynasty towards Western powers.

Let's not talk about the Qing Dynasty, review the unequal treaties signed by the Qing Dynasty. ……

Several wars have contributed all the economic achievements of China's development over thousands of years to others. Can it not be poor?

A magistrate and a local power in the Ming Dynasty were able to clean up the Western powers smoothly. The Qing Dynasty was defeated again and again. The same nation, basically the same territory, different go-vern-ment, create a completely different ending. I can't help but want to ask: Why is the gap between the Manchu and Ming go-vern-ment so big?

Let's take a look at the pre-war first.

1. National strength: The Qing Dynasty had a population of 40,000 and a GDP of about 30% of the world. At that time, the UK had not yet become a 'sun never sets', and its GDP was about 5% of the world's.

Second, military: the British had few soldiers, while the Qing army had many soldiers; The British rear was too far away, and the Qing Dynasty fought on its own soil.

3. Troop strength: In June 1840, the invading army led by the British Yilu was 4,000 people and more than 40 ships.

Fourth, weapons: Although the navy used steam engines to use the weapons used by the British army at that time, many of them were sailing ships; Although the army used breech-loading muskets and artillery, it was more advanced than the Qing army, and the gap was not as wide as it was later.

There are many examples in history of the defeat of the strong by the weak. The objective conditions of the Qing Dynasty were not bad, it was possible to win, but it was defeated. Where is the root? Don't say textbooks.

China has led the trend for thousands of years, and suddenly it is lagging behind, and it is still a mess. Isn't it puzzling? If you're interested, explore with me. The question of history is, of course, to be answered in history.

Learn the truth about the prosperous era of Kangqian.

In front of Kangxi, there is really nothing to say. In addition to killing or killing. Let's start with Kangxi.

Kangxi was a great man: he wisely captured Aobai, pacified the three feudatories, recovered Taiwan, conquered Yaksa, defeated Geerdan, governed the Yellow River and Huai River, and learned modern science and technology. At first glance, he has made great achievements and achievements, and he is like a great monarch. Is that really the case?

Who has the final say on whether the monarch is great or not? What is the measure of a monarch? If this standard is not chosen well, the result will be problematic. I believe that the greatness of the monarch depends on the contribution of the monarch to the country and the nation, not the personal ability of the monarch.

Let's analyze the big things Kangxi did one by one to understand the truth.

Wisdom captures Aobai, which shows that Kangxi is very capable. However, this has nothing to do with greatness. It was just a battle for imperial power within the Qing go-vern-ment, and only the actual leaders of the country were changed. This is Kangxi fighting for himself, which does not involve the contribution of the country and the nation, and has little to do with the people.

The pacification of the three feudatories was more to maintain imperial power. Kangxi and Wu Sangui competed to be the boss, and as a result, they fought. The war was still a war provoked by Kangxi. (Warmongers?) It's just a war for power between the local go-vern-ment and the central go-vern-ment, and it has nothing to do with contribution. In the war, I don't know how many people suffered and died. Kangxi won in the end, only because his methods were better than Wu Sangui's, which showed that he was indeed capable. There is no contribution involved, and naturally it has nothing to do with greatness. Some people may say: At least Kangxi maintained the integrity of the territory, isn't it a contribution? Good question, like one. I still have to say: this has nothing to do with greatness. It's not that I'm stubborn or biased. Think about it: if Wu Sangui wins, will he allow the split? Definitely not. In other words, in this war, no matter who wins, the territory is intact and there is no possibility of splitting. Therefore, your argument does not hold water. This is fundamentally different from Tsarist Russia's division of Xinjiang.

The Manchu Qing Dynasty recovered Taiwan, I really don't want to say it. The situation was not at all the same then as it is now.

Then came the Battle of Yaksa. This battle took place during the Kangxi period, the period when the Qing go-vern-ment was at its strongest. Tsarist Russia invested more than 800 troops, and it was still an expedition. Ammunition and food are limited. Far from being as huge and tragic as everyone imagined. The Qing army was several times larger than the Tsarist army, and it also enjoyed good equipment, and the water and land armies attacked at the same time, and it took more than half a year to get things done. What is there to be proud of in such a battle (not a war at all) and the result? Hum! In the 28th year of Kangxi (1689 AD), China and Russia signed the Treaty of Nebuchu, giving 1.5 million square kilometers of Siberia to Russia in exchange for a hundred years of stability. This is the battle between Kangxi and Yaksa, which everyone is proud of. I don't know why historians hype it up, it's really misleading. Could it be that this is what the legendary foot dog literati wrote? Please don't kid yourself.

Kang Qian's genocide of the Dzungar tribe in Mobei Mongolia was so cruel that it was rare, not to mention.

The Yellow River and the Huai River, something will happen every few years. Which dynasty has not governed? Catch up, and by the way, it's governed. How can such a thing have anything to do with greatness? In the Ming Dynasty, when Emperor Wanli, who had not been in court for 30 years, was in power, he also managed the floods of the Huanghuai River, and he did a good job. Don't know, right? So, some things are not what everyone thinks they are. The head grows on your own neck, don't be at the mercy of others.

followed by Kangxi's diligence and studiousness.

Kangxi and his contemporary, Peter the Great, were almost as studious. However, Peter spread his interest in technology throughout the country, and Russia quickly became powerful. Kangxi's interest in technology is merely personal, and this interest is politically motivated. He wanted to show the Han ministers what a capable and wise emperor he was, and that the Manchus were not barbarians. This is Kangxi's motivation for learning science and technology.

During the Kangxi period, the 28 consecutive firearms invented by Dai Zi, the most advanced firearms at that time, were abandoned by Kangxi. He also said: With Manchuria's heavy cavalry shooting, you can't specialize in shotguns and waste bows and arrows, and those who are familiar with guns and arrows on horses are barely superior. Later, the genius Dai Zi was confiscated outside the military customs. This is Kangxi's means of suppressing science and technology.

In the late Qing Dynasty, Zuo Zongtang quelled the rebellion in the northwest, and excavated more than 100 flowering bullets from the ruins of a Ming Dynasty fort, and couldn't help but look up to the sky and sigh: "Three hundred years ago, China had this thing, but now it has been lost, so that it has been bullied by foreign powers." 'See? This is the sin created by Kangxi. not only does not develop science and technology, but suppresses science and technology; Not only did it not progress, but it regressed. This is the essence of a hero in the minds of many people.

If you are not afraid of not knowing the goods, you are afraid of comparing goods. By the way, compare Kangxi with his contemporary, Louis XIV.

Let's take a look at the individual situation first.

Louis XIV was extravagant; passionate about ballet; No interest in participating in any scientific activities; Expect to be a European hegemon like Alexander. At first glance, it's a bit ridiculous, people who don't learn and don't know how to dream still love to dream.

Kangxi was thrifty and diligent all his life; He has a good understanding of Western studies; Take Dayu as his idol of governance. Very nice look.

Then there is the work of the two.

Louis XIV strongly supported the popularization of science in the country. At the suggestion of the Chancellor, he founded the French Academy of Sciences, the French School of Architecture and the Comédie Française, whose members enjoyed the king's stipend, and research activities were funded. Kangxi, who was in the same era, was busy with ** to maintain the legitimacy of Manchu rule.

Louis XIV waged a large number of foreign wars and created a France that was at its peak. Kangxi was loyal to the civil war and made contributions. He had only clashed with Russia externally, and in the face of Russia's small Far Eastern Army, Kangxi took great pains.

Louis XIV opened his country wide to the development of overseas trade and overseas colonies. strengthening France's ties with Europe and the world; And Kangxi hesitated for a long time on the issue of opening the sea and banning the sea, and finally ended in the ban on the sea. The ban on the sea not only caused China's shipbuilding technology to slip all the way, but also led to bizarre things: at the end of the Ming Dynasty, there was a considerable degree of knowledge of world geography, and at the end of the Qing Dynasty, no one knew where Europe was (there were other reasons: the destruction of relevant geographical and scientific books, etc.). Some people will say: The Ming Dynasty also banned the sea, why only say that the Qing Dynasty was not? Good question, more on that later.

After comparing Kangxi and Louis XIV, we find a striking fact: the emperor's personal abilities and achievements are not directly proportional. The emperor's personal ability does not seem to be very important. What matters is vision and excellent supporting talent.

In his later years, Kangxi forbade public discussion of astronomical omens and calendar studies. Because of these contents, it involves the legitimacy of the Qing Dynasty. In 1715, Kangxi also banned relevant content in the imperial examination. In the past two years, the planning of the township examination and the general examination have banned the use of astronomy, music and calculation methods. In this way, ** became a basic national policy of the Qing Dynasty. It is really capable of successfully changing the interests of examiners and scholars for hundreds of years by one person. The seeds of ignorance and incompetence in the late Qing Dynasty were sown by Kangxi. This is also one of the reasons for the backwardness of modern China.

I suddenly understood: the emperor's ability is not necessarily a good thing. Sometimes, it can even become a disaster for some peoples.

By the way, I have been scolded by everyone, the so-called dark Ming Dynasty.

The laziest emperor of the Ming Dynasty should be Emperor Wanli. 30 years without going to court, it is really a unique scenery in history. If you know that this incident happened in the context of a violent conflict between the imperial power and the civil system, and the imperial power was suppressed, not going to the court was a passive confrontation of the Wanli Emperor. How would you feel? How is it possible that the imperial power is suppressed? Doesn't it mean that the DPRK is very dark and authoritarian? Yes, it has been so autocratic that the imperial power has been suppressed! Is it incredible? Truly. At first, I couldn't believe it. It's completely different from what I had in mind. Only later did I find out: I was brainwashed before. Straight to the point. When the imperial power was suppressed, Emperor Wanli did not kill a single person because his ministers opposed him. If you don't go to court, it doesn't mean that you don't work, and many major and minor affairs during the Wanli period were handled by Emperor Wanli. For example, the three major campaigns of Wanli (total victory), especially the Ming Dynasty's war to aid the dynasty and expel the Japanese, have always been carried out under the care and support of Wanli. Small ones, such as Matteo Ricci's missionary work in Beijing and the establishment of churches, were all carried out smoothly under the guidance of Wanli. Eastern and Western civilizations were able to communicate, and Wanli played a considerable role. (Incredible?) By the way: Lin Zexu is 'the first person to open his eyes to see the world', which is actually a joke. Except for the Qing Dynasty, all Chinese dynasties were open, how could the real first person run to the Qing Dynasty? Lin Zexu was just the first person in the Qing Dynasty to see the world.

In fact, the imperial power of the Ming Dynasty was limited, and the cabinet was very mature. Many major state affairs are handled by the Cabinet. The head of the cabinet is called the first assistant, similar to the current prime minister or prime minister. Most of these cabinet members are well-educated, respected, and brilliant (and sometimes bastard). The efforts of these people have become the lazy capital of the Ming Emperor. This is the reason why some emperors of the Ming Dynasty were not diligent in their administration, but their institutions were able to operate normally.

In previous dynasties, including the Ming Dynasty, in addition to the emperor's 'rule of rule', there was also a 'Taoist system'. Ming officials were proud to believe they were in control of the Dao system, and as a result, they often quarreled with the emperor. Officials often did not look at problems according to the emperor's standards, and often had disputes with the emperor in the court and argued with reason. Sometimes the emperor was so angry that he couldn't do anything, so he slapped the minister's ass. Even so, these officials did not hesitate. Because, at the same time being punished by the emperor, another honor was received - the whole country, the whole cultural circle, believed that the minister was right, and the emperor was wrong. This is: I love the truth more. Why do so many people praise Aristotle, but no one wants to learn about their ancestors? Low self-esteem comes from ignorance.

The Qing Dynasty learned this lesson and, through various efforts, brought the Dao system into the hands of the emperor. In history, there was only one dynasty that realized the unification of Taoism and governance.

How did the Qing Dynasty achieve this?

First of all: the emperor vigorously advocated Cheng Zhu Lixue. This one is not new, but the degree is aggravated a lot and too much. Scholars are familiar with the eight stocks, just to get in the scientific examination, and they don't hear anything outside the window. However, the technology and ideas of enriching the country and strengthening the army are rarely involved, which greatly imprisons the minds of scholars. If the wisdom and conscience of the scholars are gone, how can the country be good? The seeds of incompetence and ignorance in the late Qing Dynasty were sown some more. (Although the Ming Dynasty also promoted Cheng Zhu Lixue, its influence was limited.) )

Secondly, insulting and belittling the personality of Confucianism makes them lose face, and they are not qualified to claim to be famous Confucians. Don't expect them to compete with the emperor like Ming officials. In the thirty-third year of Kangxi, Emperor Kangxi convened Hanlin officials to compose. Topic: The Theory of Truth and Falsity in Science. Be the examiner yourself, and the Hanlin officials will be the candidates. Humiliate these literati who claim to be talented and learned, including their own teacher Xiong Cixu and some famous Confucians who have passed away. scolded these people as false Taoism, and at the same time denounced the famous Confucians with the majesty of the emperor. Tell people: It is the emperor who really understands Taoism, and the truth is in the hands of the emperor! If the minister loses the Taoist system, he loses the trump card to check and balance the imperial power. The unification of governance and Taoism made the Qing Dynasty the most authoritarian dynasty in history (many people thought that other dynasties were like this, so they scolded their ancestors. It would be wrong to expand the history of the Qing Dynasty to 5,000 years.) The civil and military officials of the Qing Dynasty, who claimed to be slaves, called their masters, opened their mouths and closed their mouths to the emperor and sage, and came out like this. No one dares to compete with the emperor, can the emperor be sacred? The minions also came out by the way. What a slave needs is obedience, not talent.

In the end, of course, it is the head killing. The Ming Dynasty could tolerate a Hai Rui who scolded the emperor, and the Qing Dynasty could not tolerate a Jin Shengsigh who cried in the temple. Authoritarian or not, here is clearly and unambiguously. In the early years of Kangxi, Zhuang Tinglong repaired the "History of the Ming Dynasty", and the Zhuang family was exterminated. There are a lot of such things, so if you are interested, find the relevant information yourself. Thinking people have almost been killed, can they not be ignorant and not backward? No wonder Little Japan laughs at us. In addition, the Manchu Qing law stipulates that anyone who gathers more than 30 Han Chinese shall be punished for the crime of treason. This is the first time in ancient times, the Manchu Qing is really a pioneering spirit!

Bottom line: Kangxi was a capable man, but he was not a good emperor. It can even be said: Kangxi is a very bad emperor! So, who is considered a great emperor? In ancient China, there were many great emperors. If you are interested, learn about Yang Jian, Emperor Wen of Sui, a forgotten person.

After watching Kangxi, let's take a look at Qianlong.

During the Qianlong period, ** reached its peak, with more than 160 incidents. As few as 100 people are involved, and as many as 10,000 people are involved. Ideas are so imprisoned that even culture and technology cannot develop normally. It is far-fetched, chasing after the wind, and even the words of some madmen have been condemned to death as a reverse case, which is extremely absurd.

Liu Sanyuan, this is crazy. One day, he said to people: I am a descendant of the Han family, and I want the support of the officials. As a result, he was killed. A madman, a crazy word, and his head dropped.

Wang Xihou was dissatisfied with the words of the "Kangxi Dictionary". It took seventeen years to compile a novel dictionary: Ziguan. Because there are Kangxi, Yongzheng's temples and Qianlong's names in the dictionary, Qianlong was furious: he ordered Wang Xihou to be beheaded, six children and grandchildren were executed, the whole family of 21 people sat together, and his wife and daughter-in-law and minor sons were slaves.

Yin Jiaquan, who calls himself an old man. Qianlong said: I call the old man Gu Xi, and I have already announced it to the world, how dare he call himself an old man? Hanged. (I don't have a little bit of self-cultivation and mind, and I am also called a perfect old man.) ）

Xu Jun has passed away. In the posthumous book "Poems of a Pillar Building": Raise a glass and suddenly see the son of tomorrow, and throw the pot half. Qianlong thought that Hu'er was Hu'er, slandered the imperial court, and ridiculed the Manchu Qing Dynasty for being uneducated. As a result, Xu Jun was dissected and killed, and all his children, grandchildren, and local officials were beheaded.

These are real things that happened to our ancestors. Not a story, but an accident, a tragedy.

There are a lot of such things, so if you are interested, check the information yourself. Next, let's take a look at the four libraries revised by the Qianlong Dynasty.

In the 38th year of Qianlong, the "Siku Quanshu" library was opened, and all books from all over the country had to be donated and inspected. In the 39th year of Qianlong, he ordered all provinces to confiscate the books that "slandered the dynasty" and destroy them all. In the 40th year of Qianlong, the four library officials were ordered to "make careful and careful decisions on the books they received, so that the words of the group would be returned to elegance." Not only were the documents unfavorable to the Manchu Qing Dynasty banned and destroyed, but even the texts of the predecessors involving the Khitan, Jurchen, Mongolian, and Liao, Jinyuan, had to be tampered with. More than 3,000 kinds of banned books were confiscated, more than 150,000 were confiscated, and more than 700,000 books were burned. (Qianlong thought to himself: What is Qin Shi Huang, dare to compare with me?) There are as many forbidden books as there are in the Four Libraries. During the Ming and Qing dynasties, the works of Huang Daozhou, Zhang Huangyan, Yuan Jixian, Qian Sule, Gu Yanwu, Huang Zongxi, Sun Qifeng and others became banned books. Historian Wu Han said: The Qing people compiled and revised the "Four Libraries Quanshu" and the ancient books died! (The history and wisdom of China are in the ancient books) The only ones who survived were the kanji. The Manchus were more insidious, despicable and vicious than their predecessors. Lu Xun said: What reminded me of the boundaries of the Manchu and Han Dynasty at the beginning was not books, but braids, which cut off many of the heads of our ancients, and this was decided, and by the time we had knowledge, everyone had long forgotten the history of blood. Books such as "Heavenly Creations", "Physics Knowledge", "Wubei Zhi" and "Biography of Ming Generals" were also banned by the Qing Dynasty. Wu Sangui's "Anti-Manchu Essays", "Ten Diaries of Yangzhou", and "Jiading Massacre of the City" have disappeared in China for more than 200 years. It took more than 200 years to find out from Japan. In this way, the Manchu Qing emasculated China's glorious technology and splendid culture, and returned China to the dark and obscurantist state of the European Middle Ages. The ideas are gone, the culture is gone, the technology is gone, and then the money is gone. After thousands of years of development, and being beaten into a primitive society, how can you not be ignorant and not backward? No wonder little Japan ridiculed: China's development for 5,000 years is not as good as Japan's development for 50 years. At the same time that Chinese civilization was destroyed, the Qing Dynasty also lost the cornerstone of its strength and progress. It is not difficult to understand that the emperors of the Qing Dynasty are said to be diligent in their administration, but they ended up losing their power and humiliating the country. This was probably something that the early Manchu rulers did not expect. It didn't take long for the entire Qing Dynasty to become, ** In the war, people saw the virtue of ignorance, numbness, distortion and servility. Until now, it hasn't gotten much better.

The Siku Quanshu is nominally a synthesis of ancient and modern classics, but in fact it is a thorough cleansing of Chinese culture. The more than 60 years of Qianlong's reign were the darkest and darkest years of Chinese culture. Now there are a lot of court dramas in the Qing Dynasty, all of which are praises and praises. Every time I see this, my heart is filled with sadness. How many people thus create a delusion about history, its effects and consequences, alas......

If you want to destroy its country, you must first go to its history. The Manchu Qing carried out a thorough and meticulous purge and tampering with Chinese culture in order to prevent the true records of the Ming Dynasty from being preserved. Some things that can scandalize the Ming Dynasty have been fully rendered to demonize the Ming Dynasty. This is the reason why everyone misunderstands the Ming Dynasty. When the fake is true, the truth is also false. Today, hundreds of years later, people still believe that this dynasty was an unattainable prosperity of the previous dynasty, and the emperor was also a rare saint. The Manchus' ability to tamper with and fabricate history is truly unprecedented. Khan a ...... During the Anti-Japanese War, Japan carried out slavery education and Manchu Qing in northeast China. The Japanese once said: You don't have to care about cruelty in conquering China. Because after the conquest of China, Hideki Tojo was no longer a slaughterer, but a Chinese Genghis Khan and **Hachi. It seems that the Japanese have indeed studied the history of China in depth, and Khan is another ......

Why did the Manchus do this? Because the Jurchen people are only a million people, they are still barbarians (without their own civilization). In the face of China, psychological weakness is self-evident. In order to maintain their rule, they started with the culture and national self-confidence of the Han people, and knocked out the cornerstone of the Han people's self-confidence and ability. The Han people became ignorant and servile, so that they could rule. This is the purpose of the Manchu Qing Dynasty to scandalize and distort the Han regime and history, and it is also the purpose of the first place. The Han people are accustomed to being slaves, so that they can rest assured that they are masters. This is how the ignorance and servility of the Chinese people were cultivated by the Manchus. The repeated defeats in the late Manchu Qing Dynasty, in addition to backwardness, were largely due to the Manchu Qing's unwillingness to win. **During the war, the Manchu go-vern-ment reused Qi Shan, framed Lin Zexu, and later the Sino-French war, 'France won without victory, and China was defeated without defeat', which has clearly shown the intention of the Manchu Qing. The resistance to the British in Sanyuanli shows that Britain is not as strong as imagined. The Manchu nobles once said, 'Once the Han people are strong, the Manchus will perish.' Even in the midst of the national crisis, the Manchus were the first to be wary of the Han Chinese, not their friends. Therefore, it is not difficult to understand the matter of 'preferring to be friends rather than domestic slaves'.

Statement: I am not a nationalist and I hope that all ethnic groups will live together in harmony, and I have no intention of harming anyone. But this is a fact, and the impact is significant, and it cannot be left unsaid.

As for the prosperous Kangqian era, the Qing Dynasty's national strength ranked first in the world, thanks to China's strong foundation. In the past dynasties, China's national strength was the first in the world, not the first in the Manchu Qing Dynasty. The Ming Dynasty accounted for 45% of the world's total economy, and the Qing Dynasty accounted for about 30%. This is only about quantity, if it involves quality (science and technology, culture, ideology, etc.), then the Manchu Qing and Ming Dynasty are even more incompatible.

During the Chongzhen period at the end of the Ming Dynasty, the total amount of cultivated land in China was 7.83 million hectares. In the 16th year of Shunzhi, the total amount of cultivated land in China was 5.49 million hectares. In the 31st year of Qianlong, it reached 7.41 million hectares, which was close to the end of the Ming Dynasty.

At the end of the Ming Dynasty, the missionary Matteo Ricci's "Notes on China" recorded that China was extremely rich in material production and was available everywhere, with sugar whiter than Europe and cloth more exquisite than Europe...... The people are beautifully dressed and graceful, and the people are in good spirits, polite, and elegant. Macartney, a British envoy who visited during the Qianlong period, said: There is astonishing poverty everywhere...... A lot of people don't have clothes to wear...... The army is in tatters like Hanako.

This is the essence of the prosperous Kangqian era.

The Qing Dynasty, a dynasty where autocracy, brutality, and distortion reached its peak, had long lost the soil for survival in terms of backbone and ideology. The traditional Chinese concept of being an official and speaking out and daring to admonish, and writing a straight book for Shi Bing, has been completely destroyed. Later, they were bullied and ravaged by the Eastern and Western powers, and the inferiority complex and flattery of the Chinese people also arose by the way. Being conquered and enslaved for too long has entered the subconscious and formed habits. Until now, there are still so many cheap bones, I can't do it myself, but I think that there is a problem with my ancestors and culture. Ignoring the splendid culture and glorious civilization.

Take a look at the present:

So many people are proud to get a foreign green card; So many female celebrities are proud to marry foreigners; So many people are willing to be the slaves of Western capitalists; So much...... has vividly expressed the inferiority complex and flattery of the Chinese people. This is not right.

The spacecraft went to the sky and the Beijing Olympics, so many people paid attention, why? It's just a little bit of pride. This is not enough. (The kid is crazy enough, and his breath is boundless.) ）

So, how is it enough? Look for. Only by finding the source of our nation's wisdom and pride can we fundamentally change the status quo and gain the pride of our nation.

Margaret Thatcher said: 'China cannot become a superpower.' Because China has not been able to advance itself and weaken the internationally contagious doctrines (ideas) of Western countries. It's really a three-point game, worthy of a generation of heroes. She also reminded the Chinese people that a superpower needs a leader's temperament, and it is difficult for a nation that ignores national wisdom to take on great responsibilities.

The Manchu Qing is history, so let it pass. However, it is impossible not to do introspection, discovery, and regrouping. It's a pity that after so long, no one has done it yet. If you don't do it, let me, a little person who can't do it. The Buddha said, "If I don't go to hell, whoever goes to hell."

Here are some of the situations in the Ming and Qing dynasties.

Chinese culture reached its peak in the Tang and Song dynasties. The cultural achievements of the Ming Dynasty can be found in the Ming Dynasty section of '100 Books That Influenced China'. The Manchu Qing Dynasty was a complete cultural desert. For more than 260 years, only one great work has been produced: Dream of the Red Chamber. The content still exposes the decay of the Qing Dynasty. Cao Xueqin only expressed it in the form of a novel in order to avoid **.

In the Ming Dynasty, which was more strict in terms of ideology than the Tang and Song dynasties, thinkers also emerged in endlessly: Wang Shouren, Li Zhen, Wang Tingxiang, Gu Xiancheng, Lu Kun, Gu Yanwu, Huang Zongxi, etc. The birth of a great man must be accompanied by great wisdom. And in the two hundred and sixty years of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, there was not a single thinker in the land of China. The Manchus had no ideas, but they suppressed the Han people. As a result, China has been in a blank state of thought for nearly 300 years. Until now, the people of the country have not woken up, and the sorrow is greater.

From the perspective of the mind, the China of the Han Tang Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty are similar to the current United States. Externally, it is confident, open-minded, open-minded and absorbent. Only the Manchu dynasty was the only one who really closed off the country.

The eunuch hero who went to the West seven times - Zheng He; the resourceful monk military division - Yao Guangxiao; The encyclopedic prince - Zhu Zaiyu; the only female general in history to be a marquis - Qin Liangyu; a generation of masters with both civil and military skills - Wang Shouren; The prime minister who joined Catholicism in order to study Western studies--Xu Guangqi...... The openness and splendor of the Ming Dynasty was what the Qing Dynasty could imagine. Although the Ming Dynasty also banned the sea, it was not a complete ban, but a ban from time to time. Even if the official withdraws from the ocean in the later stage, the sea world is not a power vacuum. Maritime merchants and pirates became rulers of the seas. Zheng Chenggong's father, Zheng Zhilong, is one of them. Dutch ships that appear in Chinese waters are often intercepted by Zheng Zhilong's troops. In the seventh year of the Apocalypse, there was also a war between the Zheng army and the Dutch army stationed in Taiwan. As a result, the Western maritime powers, known as the coachmen of the sea, the Netherlands, were defeated. In addition, the Ming Dynasty attached great importance to exchanges with the West and actively absorbed advanced Western technology. The carpenter emperor Zhu Youxiao also made a great contribution to the exchange between China and the West. (Misunderstand history and be ashamed of your ancestors.) ）

In terms of personality and integrity, Chinese culture has always emphasized self-cultivation, Qi family, ruling the country and leveling the world; It has always taught people to be mighty and unyielding, and to be poor and unswerving; It has always been necessary for people to self-discipline with courtesy, righteousness, benevolence, wisdom, faith, honesty and shame; There has never been a shortage of iron-clad people. Not to mention: Meng Tian-Jiao'er and others have tasted the taste of the Imperial Iron Horse; Huo Qu's disease - the Huns have not been destroyed, why should they be at home; Suwu - Shepherd; Chen Tang - Those who commit strong men will be punished even if they are far away; Ban Chao - don't enter the tiger's den, get the tiger; Ran Min - Turning the tide and saving China from peril; Tao Yuanming - do not bend your waist for five buckets of rice; Yang Jian - Rebuilding Chinese Civilization and Order; Li Bai-An can break his eyebrows and bend his waist to deal with the powerful; Yue Fei - return my rivers and mountains, full of red rivers; Yu Yunwen - the head of the national crisis, stand up; Wen Tianxiang - Who has not died in life since ancient times, leaving Dan to take care of his sweat. Even in the Ming Dynasty, there is no short: Yu Qian - he is not afraid of broken bones, and he wants to leave his innocence in the world; Hai Jui - not afraid of power, upright; Qi Jiguang - Feng Hou is not my will, I hope the sea is peaceful; Zheng Chenggong - expelled the captives and recovered Taiwan and other high-ranking people. The Manchus, on the other hand, were rich in slaves. Slaves have always grovelled, where does the personality and integrity come from? The shamelessness of the scholar is a shame for the country. For two hundred and sixty years, there has not been a real person in China, and the servility has been carried forward and penetrated deep into the bone marrow. Motherland, I cry for you!

The eunuchs of the Ming Dynasty are also a topic that cannot but be said. Because of the relationship between Liu Jin and Wei Zhongxian, the eunuchs of the Ming Dynasty seem to be particularly famous. These two people have done a lot of bad things, become famous, and affect others. However, they are who they are, and they cannot represent all eunuchs. In fact, the Ming Dynasty contributed far more eunuchs than those who brought disaster to the country: Zheng He, the hero of the seven voyages to the West; Huang Jin, who helped Xu Jie, clear the traitorous minister Yan Song; Feng Bao, who helped Zhang Juzheng reform; Huai'en, who protects the little prince in danger, are all eunuchs. Eunuchs are a group, both good and bad, not what some people think: as long as they are eunuchs, they are all bad guys. Some people may ask: 'Feng Bao is still corrupt, how can you count him among the good people?' Obvious bias. 'Another good question, kudos. Feng Bao is corrupt, but he is also a strong supporter of Zhang Juzheng's reforms. Without him, I'm afraid the change would not have been so smooth. The change of law restricted the hulai of the princes and ministers, lightened the burden on the people, and filled the treasury. His contributions far outweighed his corruption. He is not a saint, some problems are inevitable, and depending on the person, it depends on the overall situation. Moreover, Feng Bao was also disposed of later. And the corruption of the Qing Dynasty was even more severe: 'Three years of Qing prefect, 100,000 snowflakes of silver'. Even the emperor fished, and he fished even harder: 'He Shen fell, Jiaqing was full' is very telling. It is said that Heshen's property is the treasury income of the Qing Dynasty for more than 10 years, so it is called strong (the best among corrupt officials). As a result, it was all packed into Jiaqing's personal pocket, another bastard emperor. When it comes to chaotic government, Cixi's long time, wide scope, and profound disasters are probably not comparable to those in the Ming Dynasty. Cixi's most classic quote is even more resounding in the sky: Rather with friends than with domestic slaves. The last edict of Emperor Chongzhen, who died in the Ming Dynasty, said: Don't hurt one of my people. Look, that's the gap, that's the essence.

Due to the great power of civil officials in the Ming Dynasty, the emperor would let the eunuchs contain the ministers. The emperor, the civil bureaucracy, and the eunuchs all restrain each other and use each other. (Separation of powers?) This is one of the reasons for the frequent struggles between the civilian clique and the eunuch clique. Appropriate contradictions are actually conducive to progress. Only when power is controlled can it be transparent and democratic.

Loyalty and treachery coexist, the struggle is fierce, broad-minded, open-minded absorption, the stars are shining, and the waves are magnificent--- this is the real Ming Dynasty.

Having said all this, one would think that I was deliberately provoking ethnic disputes. Alas, I am just a small ordinary person, and naturally I also hope that the country and the people will be safe. I just want you to know some historical truths. History, we can forgive, we can forgive, and we must never forget, especially history that has been deliberately tampered with. This is not only a historical and practical need, but also an expression of our nation's self-confidence, self-esteem, and self-reliance.

Only by correctly understanding our history can we correctly understand our culture; Only by correctly understanding our culture can we carry forward our culture; Only by carrying forward our culture can our nation get rid of inferiority and regain national wisdom and pride; A nation with national wisdom and pride is a nation with a soul.

Those who know others are wise, and those who know themselves are clear. If Chinese people want to understand their ancestors and civilization, they must understand the Ming Dynasty. If the Chinese people want to inherit the past and rejuvenate China in an all-round way, they must also understand the Ming Dynasty. To truly understand the Ming Dynasty, one needs to first correctly interpret the Manchu Dynasty. That's the purpose of this article.
