China is a very long-standing country, after thousands of years of ups and downs but the civilization has never been broken, becoming the only existing ancient civilization. And the benefit that civilization has never been cut off is that we have a complete history and know where our ancestors came from and what they did. In addition to the mythical dynasties of Xia and Shang, the records of Our country from the Zhou Dynasty period have a very high degree of credibility. What's more, in the history of our country, there are also historical monuments such as the "History of History", "Zizhi Tongjian" and "Warring States Policy", so that we modern people can also clearly know what happened in ancient times.
As modern people, we will be more or less proud of China's once brilliant culture, and we will also have our favorite dynasties. In the history of China, there is a very backbone dynasty, which is the only dynasty in Chinese history that has not signed an unequal treaty: never make peace, make reparations, cut up land, pay tribute, and suck up countless powders.
China's modern history is very humiliating, as the last feudal dynasty in Chinese history, before and after the end of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, a total of more than a thousand unequal treaties were signed, and the traitors were very thorough. This has led many people in modern times to have a very good feeling for the tough Ming before the Manchu Qing.
Daming's fortune lay in defeating the Mongols. As the successor of the Mongol Empire, the Great Yuan Dynasty had a very strong national strength. Moreover, the Mongol Empire is the second largest country in the history of the earth, with strong soldiers and strong national strength, and if it were not for the excessively radical national policy of the Yuan Dynasty, it would have lasted for a hundred years.
Zhu Yuanzhang, the Ming emperor who defeated the Yuan Dynasty, was also the most humble emperor in Chinese history. Zhu Yuanzhang became an orphan when he was still a child, herded cattle for the landlord, worked as a monk, and also worked as a beggar, and later participated in the uprising before finally sitting in the position of emperor. And Zhu Yuanzhang's life is also fully in line with the idea that "the prince will have a kind of Hu" that has been continued from ancient times to the present day in the Chinese, so Zhu Yuanzhang is also known as the most correct emperor.
In the history of the Ming Dynasty, there have been many "onlys". It is the only dynasty in history where the king of the clan became emperor. After seizing the throne of his nephew, The Yongle Emperor Zhu Di made many achievements, pacifying the north, compiling the Yongle Canon, and sending Zheng He to the West. It can be said that The Yongle Emperor Wen Tao was proficient in everything.
The Ming Dynasty was also the only country in Chinese history that did not sign unequal treaties. In the history of the Ming Dynasty, there was no land cut, no tribute, no compensation, and no peace. If others dare to invade and occupy our land, they will not hesitate to fight back with force. This is very similar to our current foreign policy.
Unfortunately, such a dynasty eventually weakened under the Xiaoice river period and many internal problems, until it was overthrown by Li Chuang, the leader of the peasant uprising. The most backbone dynasty in Chinese history has also been replaced by the most spineless dynasty in Chinese history.
In the last years of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, because of the cowardly performance of the Manchu Qing, China lost a large amount of territory. Millions of square kilometers of land in the northeast and northwest were occupied by others, and Outer Mongolia became independent. To this day, because of the various unequal treaties signed by the Manchu Qing, China still has many disputes with its neighbors on the issue of borders.
