The Qing Dynasty was the last feudal dynasty in Chinese history and an ethnic minority dynasty, and the Jurchen Jurchens of the Jin Dynasty learned Chinese characters, and occupied only 119 years in the Central Plains and eventually integrated into the Han chinese. Although the Yuan Dynasty was brutal and slaughtered cities everywhere it went, the Yuan Dynasty brought the four great inventions to Europe, and the Mongol Empire, the suzerainty of the Yuan Dynasty, occupied most of Eurasia at that time. The Qing Dynasty is different, the destruction of Chinese culture is the greatest in the Chinese feudal era, we will introduce the following explanation.
First of all, the Qing Dynasty's ideological destruction, the eight strands of the Ming Dynasty and the text prison were all inherited by the Qing Dynasty and were even worse. During the Qing Dynasty, the prison of writing has developed to the peak of all dynasties. It is conservatively estimated that the Qing Dynasty's literal prisons were as high as more than two hundred, which lasted for two hundred and fifty years. What kangxi period Ming history case, Nanshan collection case, Yongzheng period Weimin case and so on. Most of the literal prisons, except for a very few things that have a cause, are unjust prisons that catch the wind and catch the shadows, which can be very terrifying. For example, during the Kangxi Dynasty, the literati Dai Mingshi used the Name of the Emperor because the book used the Name of The Southern Year and recorded the misdeeds of Dorgon. Kangxi was furious and put Dai Mingshi lingchi to death, and dai mingshi was immediately beheaded by men over the age of sixteen, and all men and women under the age of fifteen were sold into slavery.
The Manchu Qing's destruction of culture was the compilation of the Siku Quanshu by Qianlong, which we are familiar with, and the Siku Quanshu was ostensibly a major cultural project, but in fact it was the Qing Dynasty that gathered the national books together to delete, revise, and burn them for the sake of the policy of fooling the people. Among them, the Ming Dynasty's "Illustrations of Military Weapons" lists various firearms, both pictures and texts, and describes the manufacture, use and power of military weapons, but they were burned. There are also more than 10 million Ming Dynasty archives that have been destroyed, and the remaining Ming Dynasty archives have either been deleted or tampered with. There are more than 3,000 kinds of books that are explicitly forbidden to be burned in the compilation (it is estimated that 6766 books and 93556 volumes are banned), and the number of prohibitions exceeds the total income, which is not counting the terrible atmosphere caused by the fact that the prohibited books were handed over by the edict at that time, and the books secretly burned by the people are probably more than 10,000 books that have been destroyed in total, which is really an unprecedented cultural catastrophe.
There is also the Qing Dynasty did not allow folk research on science and technology, and the big reason why the farming peoples could not defeat the nomadic fishing and hunting peoples was that the cavalry of the nomadic fishing and hunting peoples had the advantage over the infantry of the farming peoples. Farming civilizations can make up for this advantage by developing hot weapons such as firearms. The Manchus recognized that the Han chinese possession of firearms posed a threat to the Manchus and forbade the study of firearms by the people. As another example, a Qing historian said that Kangxi mathematics was so good that he could talk to the highest mathematician in China at that time to discuss problems. This shows that the rulers of the Qing Dynasty at that time already knew that the Technology of the West was advanced, but in order to prevent the people from rebelling, the Qing Dynasty said that "this technique should not be learned by the Han and Mongolians", that is, to prevent the Han and Mongols from knowing that the West had advanced technology, so as to learn it and pose a threat to the Manchu Qing.
But the final result also saw that the Manchu Qing was suppressed by a series of cultural and technological ideas. As a result, in the late Qing Dynasty, like the domino effect, a series of defeats, and then in order to save his life, he became the so-called "signing small expert". This may be the result of the Manchu Rulers' self-inflicted wounds.
