Welcome to the [Trend Epic] channel, today let's take a look at the following content. As early as the time of Yao Shunyu, the ancestors of the Jurchens lived in the northeast, where they hunted, planted, and multiplied there. A thousand years later, a Jurchen named Nurhaci unified the Jurchen tribes and ambitiously aimed at the Central Plains, aiming at the faltering Ming Dynasty. In 1616, Nurhaci established Houjin, and in 1636 AD, Nurhaci's son Emperor Taiji changed the name of the country to Daqing.
In 1644, Emperor Taiji's brother Dolgun led the Qing army into the customs and officially entered the Central Plains.
This is the second unified state established by ethnic minorities in Chinese history, which is also the last feudal dynasty in Chinese history, in 1912, Puyi abdicated and issued the Qing Emperor's abdication edict, and the Qing Dynasty ended.
The Qing Dynasty, a dynasty with a history of less than 300 years, left a not-so-beautiful impression on many people, especially after 1840.
In 1840, the Qing Empire, with an area of about 14.5 million square kilometers and a population of 400 million, was defeated by Britain from the West and signed the treaty of Nanking, the first unequal treaty in modern Chinese history, lost 21 million silver dollars, cut off Hong Kong Island, and began to degenerate from a sovereign and complete country to a semi-colonial and semi-feudal country.
The Treaty of Nanking was only the beginning, and since then, the Qing Dynasty has continued to cut up land, pay compensation, and sign one unequal treaty after another.
Even, in 1895, the Qing Dynasty was defeated by the former small country of Japan, and signed the even more humiliating "Maguan Treaty", completely reduced to a semi-colonial and semi-feudal society, and the national crisis deepened.
There is no doubt that the modern history of Chinese is a history of humiliation, a history of beatings, a history of heartache and tears.
But, you know what? Daqing has not always been a weak chicken image, not from the beginning and the Western countries have a gap between heaven and earth, not at the beginning of each country can step on a foot...
The Great Qing Dynasty still has its own glorious history, a glorious history, and a history of standing tall among the world powers.
It has come to the dynasty of all nations, is a world-famous power, once had a prosperous era of Kangqian, the people lived and worked in peace and contentment, and the society flourished.
According to the "Historical Report of Kangqian's Prosperous Age", until the end of the 18th century before the death of the Qianlong Emperor, the Qing Dynasty's share of the world's total manufacturing output exceeded 5 percentage points of the whole of Europe, which was about 8 times that of Britain, 6 times of Russia and 9 times of Japan.
What kind of economic strength is this?
I think that even now, no country can achieve the economic strength of the Qing Dynasty.
It is said that the economy is the foundation of everything, and the Qing Dynasty at that time had the best foundation, far more than the United Kingdom that later established the Empire of the Sun Never Setting, and it was countless times stronger than Japan.
At that time, the Qing Dynasty accounted for nearly one-third of the total share of the world's GDP.
However, the rulers of the Great Qing Dynasty did not seize this opportunity and did not make good use of their own foundations and conditions.
Other countries began the industrial revolution, began to reform, began to use machines instead of manpower, but the Qing Dynasty, still going their own way, even blocked the country's doors, no contact with the outside world.
In this way, the Qing Dynasty turned from prosperity to decline, was surpassed by one country after another, and finally became the target of beating.
