See history from a whole new perspective

My article is a bit long, I want to send it out several times, this long article I spent a week to write out, is about the law of historical dynasties, but I guarantee that this set of theory is very special, this article is a bit like a thesis, I guarantee that you must not have heard of it, after reading you will have a new view of ancient Chinese history, no matter how many history books you have read, no matter what your academic qualifications, will definitely change your views, I hope you can help me forward it after reading it, really thank you, I never ask anyone to retweet my article, but this one is an exception, and the reasoning in this article is interlocked.

This theory explains multiple problems,

1. Why is the Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming, and Qing dynasties only about 300 years at most?

2. Why some dynasties can be divided, such as the Eastern Han And Western Han Dynasties, some dynasties cannot be divided, such as no Eastern Tang, Western Tang and the like.

3. Why some peasant uprisings succeed and some are doomed to fail

There are many more problems, which on the surface are different problems, but in fact, they can be explained by a unified set of theories.

Ancient Chinese history is the evolutionary history of the Chinese nation, it is necessary to understand the internal laws, without saying much, directly start.

Reasoning begins:

1. Question 1: Can history be assumed?

Everyone knows a sentence, history can not be assumed, why, because you assume that history is equivalent to solving an N-ary equation, and to solve the only solution of this equation, which is impossible, and you assume that history is equivalent to changing a variable at a certain historical moment, and the change of one variable will lead to the change of other variables, so history can not be assumed in most cases, so the current history is based on memory, you see history as knowledge. The most that has strong historical knowledge is to cherish historical knowledge as a family. Those with stronger historical knowledge can at most compare and rank various aspects of history in various dynasties. The words "historical documents," "correct history," and "wild history" hang on their lips every day, and these are even if history is very cattle. I wonder, do we have any other angles toward history and Chinese history?

2. Question 2: Do we have any other perspective on Chinese history?

Do we have no way to take history at all, we can only study, memorize, and compare dynasties, and we can't study it? Is the study of history, that is, the study of historical documents, that we cannot study Chinese history from a purely theoretical point of view? I want to study Chinese history from a purely theoretical point of view, we all know another sentence, history is always strikingly similar, this is why, indicating that there is a law behind history, if we can find a law, then we can directly draw historical conclusions through the law, without considering other factors in history, which is a bit like the physical momentum theorem, the impulse of the external force is equal to the momentum change, we can directly ignore the process in the middle of it. This is interesting, can history be combined with physics?

3. Question 3: Can history be combined with physics?

We all know that mathematics is not science in the strict sense of the word, because it cannot be falsified, but mathematics is indeed the basis of all science, and we also know that the basis of biology is chemistry, the basis of chemistry is physics, and mathematics and physics can be said to be the basis of all sciences, so it is feasible to study history with the tool of physics.

4. Question 4: How does history fit into physics?

We know that the basis of physics is mechanics, and the three elements of force are size, direction, and point of action.

That history has no force on this concept, there is. That is the concept of power, history and physics, so I will start with the analysis of power.

5 Question 5: In ancient China, what kinds of forces could become emperors and thus gain imperial power?

There are five forces that can gain imperial power and become emperors

1. External problems. The Jin, Yuan, and Qing ethnic minority regimes all founded their countries because of external troubles

2. Foreign relatives. Wang Mang's new dynasty and Wu Zetian's Zhou dynasty were both founded for foreign relatives

3. Eunuchs. It is the eunuch that everyone is familiar with, the eunuch himself cannot be the emperor, but he has the power to support and abolish the emperor

4. Farmers. In ancient China, there were several from peasants to emperors, many people said that there were 2, it was Liu Bang and Zhu Yuanzhang, then I congratulate you on answering wrong, the answer is two and a half, two is Han Guangwu Emperor Liu Xiu, the other is Zhu Yuanzhang, Liu Bang is not a farmer, the other half is Sun Yat-sen, because Sun Yat-sen did not become emperor, so Sun Yat-sen can only be counted as half.

The reason why Liu Bang was not a peasant was because the historical records said that Liu Bang did not do family production and work, did not like agricultural affairs, and so on, so Liu Bang's uprising was not a peasant uprising in the true sense.

5. Warlords. The warlord I have here is a big concept, referring to all the forces that can seize imperial power except the above 4 forces, this warlord power has many forms, Liu Bang and Xiang Yu are both warlords dressed in the cloak of peasant uprising. The Tang Dynasty's feudal towns were also warlords. Powerful ministers with the ability to abolish the emperor, such as Huo Guang of the Han Dynasty, Cao Cao at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Yang Jian of the Sui Dynasty, and so on. There are also military generals with military power, which is too much like Song Taizu Zhao Kuangyin. There are also princes with military power in various dynasties, such as the Rebellion of the Seven Kings of the Western Han Dynasty, the Rebellion of the Eight Kings of the Jin Dynasty, and the Zhu Di of the Battle of Jingnan in the Ming Dynasty. There are also various warlords in modern China, and so on.

The life of the ancient emperor is the process of mutual game with these five forces, so add the emperor's own power, referred to as imperial power, 6. imperial power.

These six forces are changing every moment, I don't have time to do statistics, I can't draw a histogram, the master can help me draw a histogram, the horizontal coordinate is time, the vertical coordinate is the histogram of these six forces, and finally the six forces to do a statistic,

I guess that in this period of time from the Qin Dynasty to the Republic of China, the time when the 6 imperial power ranked first was not even one-sixth, and the imperial power could be subverted anytime and anywhere.

6. Question Six: Why didn't imperial power quickly be overthrown by other forces stronger than it?

Imperial power was not the strongest of these six forces for a long time, so why was it not quickly subverted? The answer is the legitimacy of imperial power, which is that each new dynasty that changes dynasties is vigorously emphasizing the legitimacy of its own imperial power, that is, to prevent other forces stronger than itself from rapidly subverting his regime.

7. Question 7: How the legitimacy of imperial power in ancient China was lost

Everyone has thought of a question, the Zhou Dynasty had Eastern Zhou and Western Zhou, the Han Dynasty had Eastern Han and Western Han, the Jin Dynasty had Eastern Jin and Western Jin, and the Song Dynasty had Southern Song and Northern Song.

There's a reason for these southeast-northwest names, but it's not the focus of my discussion.

Why is there no Eastern Tang and Western Tang, the Ming Dynasty has Southern Ming, but the Southern Ming did not defend the Qing Dynasty's attack, without defending you can say that the Qing Dynasty is militarily strong, but why the Southern Ming collapsed in a war, can not explain, why the Yuan Dynasty can not have the Southern Yuan and the Northern Yuan, why the Song Dynasty can form the Northern Song and southern Song Dynasties, these you can find countless reasons to explain, but can you use a reason, or a principle to explain all the above phenomena, this is the essence of this problem, That is, the legitimacy of imperial power is lost. A dynasty can be divided into east and west, or south and north dynasties, the middle must be because one of the five forces I said above subverted the regime at that time, but the legitimacy of the imperial power of this dynasty has not been lost, so there is still a chance to get the power back, such as the Eastern Han Dynasty, the Western Han Dynasty, the Southern Song Dynasty, but whenever the legitimacy of the imperial power of a dynasty is lost, then the only result waiting for this dynasty is to perish, there will never be a chance to overturn, and there is no distinction between the north and the south, what is the thing.
