Seeing History from a Whole New Perspective (III)

11. Question 11, why did the Chinese dynasty have 800 years of the Zhou Dynasty, but the Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming, and Qing dynasties only lasted about 300 years at most?

I would like to state here once again that I would use a theory to explain most of the phenomena in history, because the legitimacy of the imperial power of a dynasty has its own life, just as man lives, grows old, dies of illness, and death. The legitimacy of imperial power also has a life cycle, a dynasty, I give examples all of the great unified dynasties as an example, the Zhou Dynasty also belongs to the great unification dynasty, but there are 800 years, I want to explain separately. The Zhou Dynasty belonged to the unsaturated Great Unification Dynasty, which lasted as little as 14 years from the moment of his birth and as long as about 300 years in China's feudal society. You'll ask you where this data came from, nonsense. Of course not, I have a basis, 14 years this time period is very important in Chinese history, many places have appeared, according to my many comparisons found, 14 years is a very strange number.

Let me analyze below, the shortest 14 years from the moment of his birth, the Qin Dynasty (221 BC ~ 207 BC) a total of 14 years, the Qin Dynasty did 3 things to work and hurt the people, the huge harem, the Great Wall, the Mausoleum of the First Emperor of Qin. The time to do these three things was probably in 221 BC, that is, after Qin Shi Huang unified the Six Kingdoms, and it took 14 years to fall, the Sui Dynasty (581 ~ 618), the Sui Emperor Yang Guang did 3 things to work hard and hurt the people, the huge harem, the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, and the conquest of Goryeo. The time of these three things was probably started in the year when Yang Guang ascended the throne, that is, in 604 AD, the Sui Emperor Yang Guang was the eastern capital, and the time of the fall of the Sui Dynasty was 618 years, a total of 14 years, I think this must not be a coincidence, this time must be the shortest life expectancy of the Great Unification Dynasty.

To digress, some people think that Qin Shi Huang and Sui Emperor Yang Guang are very similar, in fact, it is not entirely true, because Qin Shi Huang did things like Sui Wen Emperor Yang Jian in the first half of his life, and qin shi huang did things like Sui Emperor Yang Guang after unifying the six kingdoms in the second half of his life, so Qin Shi Huang alone is actually a collection of Yang Jian and Yang Guang, that is to say, Qin Shi Huang's life is equivalent to two lifetimes of ordinary people, and he has done two lifetimes in one lifetime, and such a person also has Hongyi master Li Shutong, who has done two lifetimes of things in his lifetime, that is, the person who wrote outside the long pavilion and on the side of the ancient road. I heard that it is also the idol of Yu Minhong of new Oriental and Cao Dewang, the king of glass, I will make a guess here, this is not necessarily correct, it is my intuition, people who like Qin Shi Huang will also like Li Shutong, people who like Li Shutong, will also like Qin Shi Huang.

Back to the point, here I made a guess, which I later proved to be correct, and guessed that there was no great unified dynasty, his emperor only had a huge harem, like Qin Shi Huang, Sui Dynasty Emperor Yang Guang, but there was no great construction, no Great Wall, Qin Shi Huang Mausoleum, Jinghang Grand Canal, these things, this dynasty His life expectancy should be between 2 14 years and 3 14 years, that is, between 28 and 42 years. This time is the period from the time when the emperor began to have a huge harem after the unification of the country to the fall of the dynasty.

Is there any, there really is, that is, the Western Jin Dynasty (266 ~ 317), the Jinwu Emperor Sima Yan, around 280 years to destroy Wu, Sima Yan's extravagant and lavish life began around 280 years, 317-280 = 37 years, completely coincided, between 28 and 42, indicating that there is only a huge harem, an extravagant and lavish life, from the beginning of extravagance and lasciviousness to the end of the dynasty,

Between about 28 and 42 years, I hope that you can compare the Sui Dynasty, the Qin Dynasty, and the Western Jin Dynasty, these three must be particularly interesting, why can't the legitimacy of the imperial power exceed 300 years, my conclusion is that it is because within 300 years there is a high probability of large-scale peasant uprisings.

12, Question 12, why is there a high probability of a large-scale peasant uprising in 300 years

Why 300 years of great probability will break out of large-scale peasant uprisings, later I learned, the life expectancy of the ancients is short, I took 15 years as a generation, 300 years is 20 generations, the population is increased by geometric multiples, if a generation of emperors give birth to 2 princes, 20 generations is about 20 to the 20th power, the land of farmers is limited, so the number of people who can support the royal family is also limited, 20 generations or so is the limit, so the longest life of the great unification dynasty is not more than 300 years, So how to know that the number of people whose land can feed the imperial family has reached its limit, Liu Bei at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty told us, where Did Liu Bei live when he was a child, Lousang Village, Liu Bei lived in a village, an imperial family lived in a village, and there was no imperial court of Feng Lu, indicating what, indicating that the number of imperial families at that time was seriously exceeded, at that time you may throw a brick into the sky, you can hit a royal family personnel, the Yellow Turban Uprising broke out at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, and the large-scale peasant uprising caused the legitimacy of the imperial power of the Han Dynasty to be lost. From here, I have a question, was the outbreak of the Yellow Turban Rebellion at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty really because of the Ten Long Attendants, and whether those eunuchs were really the cause of the Yellow Turban Uprising, I seriously doubted. Everyone remembers that in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Sima Hui said that Zhuge Liang, although he had his master, he could not do this sentence at the right time. Do you know what this "shi" means, there are two meanings: 1. Not the time of heaven, because of the Han Dynasty

The legitimacy of imperial power is lost,

That is to say, the people's hearts do not think about Han, 2. The time is late, Zhuge Liang came out late, Cao Cao's strength is already unshakable, this sincerity can not be fought with the front, Liu Bei is too old, at that time Liu Beisan Gu Maolu was about 45 years old, and there was not much time for Liu Bei.

13. Question 13, I found that there is a principle in history that is not 100% correct, but more than 90% is true.

It is because of what kind of force that the country is founded, and it will not be lost because of that force.

The Yuan Dynasty founded the country because of this kind of force from abroad, and it will not lose the country because of this force of external troubles.

If the country is troubled by foreign troubles, the Yuan Dynasty will be particularly wary of external troubles, because he especially understands foreign troubles, because he himself was once a foreign trouble, and I am talking about a unified dynasty.

The nemesis of the founding of the country was the peasant uprising. Therefore, Zhu Yuanzhang's peasant revolt specifically restrained the Yuan Dynasty, a dynasty that founded the country due to external troubles.

Have you thought about it, the Qing Dynasty also founded the country because of external troubles in this way, and the nemesis of foreign troubles is the peasant uprising, so why did the Taiping Heavenly Congress fail, speaking of the failure of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, everyone will say that this is caused by the Tianjing Incident, this is the historical limitations of the peasants, etc., but these are not the root causes, the fundamental cause must be able to explain the whole phenomenon with a theory, then the fundamental reason is that the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom is not a peasant uprising in the true sense, to put it bluntly. It is the Heavenly King Hong Xiuquan, he is not a peasant at all, he cannot represent the peasant Wang Hongxiu to participate in the imperial examination, he is a talent, I seriously doubt that the Heavenly King Hongxiu has never planted land, so the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom is an armed force that is ostensibly cloaked in the cloak of peasant uprising, that is, a warlord, the taiping heavenly kingdom is essentially a warlord, Wang Hongxiu is not a peasant, so the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom will not represent the fundamental interests of the peasants, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom I think he only exerted about 50% of the peasants' force, or even lower, so it will eventually fail The Huangchao uprising at the end of the Tang Dynasty is not a peasant uprising in the true sense, Huang Chao is not a peasant, he is also a showman, Huang Chao and Hong Xiuquan's life experience is particularly similar, they are all xiucai, they are all leaders of the peasant uprising, and in the end they all failed, so I came to a conclusion that the peasant uprising can succeed, then the leader of this armed force must be a peasant, and must be a peasant who particularly likes to read and is particularly good at summarizing the experience of failure, because only the peasants know the peasants best. Only in this way can we give full play to the strength of the peasants, such as Liu Xiu, Zhu Yuanzhang, Sun Yat-sen, Mao Zedong and Chairman Mao. Here I would like to say a few points, the Guangwu Emperor Liu Xiu must have planted the land, Sun Yat-sen must have planted the land, Sun Yat-sen is a peasant who can read, not a talent who can cultivate the land, Sun Yat-sen has the cunning of a peasant. Chairman Mao Zedong is the person I have seen who exerts the greatest power of the peasants' strength, and here I must mention Huang Chao and Hong Xiuquan, people like Huang Chao and Hong Xiuquan have a common disease, this kind of person eats the peasants' grain, but behind their backs they will scold the peasants for being dirty, calling the peasants stupid, they should cultivate the land all their lives, they look down on the peasants in their bones, so their peasant uprisings, the peasants' strength cannot even be brought into play, so their failure is doomed, so I make a hypothesis here. If Huang Chao and Hong Xiuquan can't become real farmers, even if they have ten chances to come back, they will certainly not succeed, I don't need to know all the variables and processes in the middle, I know the result, because they can't control the power of farmers.
