Although experts say that history is a little girl dressed up, in fact, different dynasties bring us completely different feelings. If you replace it with a word, the Tang Dynasty label should be "Sheng", while the Song Dynasty label is "rich", and the Han Dynasty is completely a "strong" character. On this point, Wang Fuzhidu deeply agrees, so why is this dynasty recognized as the strongest dynasty?
The most intuitive impression, of course, is still reflected in the military aspect, which is a dynasty that makes all the people of the country feel proud. Unlike many other empires, which were more or less exhausted by nomadic harassment, the Han Dynasty was completely chased after the Huns and fought, and even had to travel as far as Europe. As for the other nomads, they were only passively beaten, of course, there were countless famous generals in this period.
In fact, the most important reason for the strength of the military comes from the complete pressure on economic strength. Just as a person has money, he will be particularly emboldened, and the same is true for a dynasty, and only with money can he have no fear. One of the most important signs of economic strength in ancient times was the number of people. During the reign of Emperor Ping of the Han Dynasty, the peak population of the entire dynasty was 59.59 million, and it was not until the Ming Dynasty that this record was broken.
Some people questioned this, believing that during the Song Dynasty, the population may have exceeded 100 million, but at that time, the population was not as clear as the Han Dynasty, and the statistics were not as clear. But in fact, this also fully represents other dynasties, and in terms of population control, it is not at all as strong as the Han Dynasty. After all, only the truly registered population could bring taxes and wealth to the dynasty.
This dynasty was so powerful that future generations were incredible, and it was directly related to the unprecedented development of culture at that time. Because Confucianism was placed in a supreme position, the ideological culture was not as diverse as before, but this form was extremely important for the huge dynasty. This influence not only ensured the national order, but also formed a Han cultural circle covering the entire East Asia and South Asia, which still plays an immeasurable role today.
Because the national strength was unparalleled in the world at that time, the envoys of the Han Dynasty were quite rude. Of course, at zhang qian's stage, because of the relationship with the Xiongnu, it was still suppressed accordingly, but it was also from that time that the world-famous Silk Road began to make this dynasty have deeper exchanges with more countries and regions, and many countries in the western region have regarded the Han Dynasty as a powerful symbol.
Returning to the original military aspect, even if the Han Dynasty has become weakened, the military strength of the entire dynasty is still in an absolutely leading position in the whole world. Because of this, although there was a three-kingdom struggle during this period, there was no nomadic people or country in the surrounding areas who dared to attack the Central Plains.
Whether it is Cao Cao or Zhuge Liang, trying to clean up Wuhuan and Nanman is completely the rhythm of the minute-by-minute hanging. I believe that seeing this, everyone understands how strong this dynasty is! Only such a dynasty will cultivate the mentality and spirit of a strong country of the Han and Han people!
