The Qing Dynasty was the last feudal dynasty in history, and the emergence of the Qing Dynasty broke the saying that the Hu dynasty was only a hundred years old. That is to say, in ancient times, even if the minority nationalities established political power, they would not rule for more than a hundred years. There is no doubt about this, in times of turmoil, ethnic minorities often establish political power, but most of them exist for decades.
Even the Yuan Dynasty, which was able to conquer good wars, did not last more than a hundred years and existed for 98 years. In the Qing Dynasty, breaking this statement, the Qing Dynasty existed for 276 years, so the reason why the Qing Dynasty was able to exist for nearly three hundred years had a lot to do with their study of Han culture. This was acknowledged by the Qing emperor.
This can be seen through the practice of the Qing emperors. To say that the most accomplished emperor of the Qing Dynasty, people must be the first to recommend Kangxi Qianlong, it is undeniable that whether it is Qianling or Kangxi, they are very good emperors of the Qing Dynasty, and even can be rated as the first emperor of the ages. Historically, people's evaluations of Kangxi and Qianlong were also very high.
However, from the beginning of the Qianlong Emperor, the Qing Dynasty implemented the closure of the country, which led the Qing Dynasty to its demise. By the end of the Qing Dynasty, the Qing Dynasty had fallen behind the Western countries, and under such circumstances, the Qing Dynasty was divided up by the Western powers. All this was related to the Qianlong Emperor's closed country at that time, a strategy that limited the development of the Qing Dynasty and led to problems.
It is undeniable that under the development of Kangxi, Yongzheng and Qianlong, the Qing Dynasty has moved toward glory, which is the prosperous era of Kangqian in history. However, from another point of view, there is a lot of moisture in the prosperous era of Kangqian, so that the historical data of the Qing Dynasty are different from those recorded by foreign missionaries. From this point of view, the prosperity of Kangqian is also questioned.
So why say that the most accomplished emperor of the Qing Dynasty must be Emperor Taiji? The real founder of the Qing Dynasty was Huang Taiji, that is, during the Imperial Taiji period, the name of the country was changed to Qing. Thus the Qing Dynasty was established, but at that time, the Qing Dynasty had not yet entered the customs. Emperor Taiji hunted and fought with his father and brother when he was a teenager.
From this point of view, the Emperor Taiji in his youth began to make meritorious achievements and conquer the battlefield. At that time, Huang Taiji was deeply valued by Nurhaci, and although he was Nurhaci's eighth son, Huang Taiji was the most valued. Nurhaci's continuous conquests, Huang Taiji also accompanied Nurhaci's conquests, in such a situation, Huang Taiji practiced a skill.
This laid the foundation for the subsequent establishment of the Qing Dynasty. Although not the eldest son, Huang Taiji was valued by Nurhaci. This can be seen by Nurhaci handing over the houjin at that time to Huang Taiji, for Nurhaci, Huang Taiji is deeply trusted. The post-metal is one of the nomadic peoples and therefore lives on horseback.
Under such circumstances, the cultural level of Houjin lagged behind. After Nurhaci's death, Huang Taiji succeeded to the Khan's throne, and at this time Huang Taiji began to learn Han culture. This has also become one of the rules of the qing emperors. More importantly, Huang Taiji attached great importance to Han culture and paid more attention to Han Chen, and at that time, Huang Taiji had many Han Chinese strategists.
The most familiar is Fan Wencheng. During the Qing Dynasty, Fan Wencheng was loyal to Manchuria and advised the Qing Dynasty to eliminate the peasant army and the remnants of the Southern Ming Dynasty. At the same time, the emperor of the Qing Dynasty learned a lot of excellent Han culture from Fan Wencheng. After Nurhaci's death, Huang Taiji did not rush to dominate the world, but first stabilized and then jin.
The newly unified Houjin was extremely unstable, so Huang Taiji first stabilized the various tribes, and then unified the world. More importantly, after Emperor Taiji ascended the throne, the power of Houjin became decentralized, and the three Baylors jointly managed the entire dynasty. After the establishment of the Qing Dynasty, Emperor Taiji marched south to fight in the north, until the Qing Dynasty entered the customs and unified the world. All of this is inextricably linked to Huang Taiji.
More importantly, Huang Taiji was well aware of the importance of education, so he attached great importance to the study of Han culture, not only huang taiji himself to learn Han culture, but even the emperors of the Qing Dynasty learned Han culture. However, in the Cixi period at the end of the Qing Dynasty, he did not learn Han culture, which indirectly led to the demise of the Qing Dynasty.
