Throughout the dynasties, the popularity of the Ming Dynasty has always been very high. I have summarized the following four reasons, what else are you welcome to add?
1. Han Chinese complex
The Ming Dynasty was the last feudal dynasty in Chinese history to be ruled by Han Chinese.
It is preceded by the Yuan Dynasty and followed by the Qing Dynasty. Both were dynasties ruled by ethnic minorities. As a China with a majority of Han Chinese, everyone naturally prefers the Ming Dynasty.
We don't mean to discriminate against ethnic minorities, but we always feel that it is more appropriate for the Han Chinese to rule the world.
2. Inspirational founding emperor
The founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty was Zhu Yuanzhang, a poor peasant. His counterattack proved to everyone that poor peasants can also have high-light moments.
Before the age of 17, Old Zhu never left the countryside. If it were not for the peasant uprising at the end of the Yuan Dynasty that bumped him out of the original track of life, coupled with the efforts of the day after tomorrow, he would have been firmly locked in poverty all his life and crawled at the bottom of society.
So, fate is really magical.
3. Grounded emperor
When it comes to the Ming Dynasty, everyone's first impression is that there are many strange emperors.
But because of the strangeness, it adds a little interest to the history of the taoist and the shore, so that everyone is keen to discuss.
In fact, we put aside the political factor, from another point of view, these emperors just show their truest side.
For example, the Wanli Emperor has been in many dynasties for many years, letting us know that the original emperor is also a person, just like many people today do not want to work. For example, the Emperor of the Apocalypse likes to be a carpenter and does not like to be an emperor. Let us know that it turns out that not all emperors care about the dragon chair, they also have their own interests and hobbies.
When they expose their "shortcomings", they also let us see their true side. The emperors in our normal cognition are all scholars, bosses, geniuses and the like. Ke Mingshi tells us that emperors are also human beings after all, people with emotions and ideas.
4. Dissemination of mass media
In everyone's mind, history is very boring. But powerful people will tell history very interestingly.
The author of "Those Things of the Ming Dynasty" was such a person as Mingyue.
He was relatively early, and used a popular humor to write history. In this book, he tells the reader the story of the fate of 17 emperors, princes and magnates and some small people in the more than 300 years of the Ming Dynasty in this unique style.
Those originally unfamiliar and vague historical figures have also become vivid in his pen. This kind of writing method closes the distance between the reader and history, so that history becomes a living story.
Therefore, this makes more and more people understand the Ming Dynasty and are interested in the Ming Dynasty.
Well, that's my summary. Everyone is welcome to add in the comments section.
