People with Han cultural complexes miss the Ming Dynasty very much, because after all, the Qing Dynasty is the rule of ethnic minorities, whether he is passive or active, he must suppress Han culture to advocate his own culture, so many people think that the last Han culture in China should be the Ming Dynasty.
Another reason why people miss the Ming Dynasty is that he once had a glorious history of doing micro-earthquakes at home and abroad, and during the Years of Zhu DiYongle, the Ming Dynasty made China famous in the world and crushed many countries at that time. There are many similarities between this and the United States at this stage, but in addition to this similarity, the United States is also very similar to the Ming Dynasty that we have destroyed, and the similarities can be seen in the following 3 points.
Washington and Zhu Yuanzhang
Although Washington was born into the nobility, he could not avoid the fate of poor children, because his father died early, he dropped out of school at a very young age, and when he grew up, he could only become a land surveyor with the help of his brother. In any case, he also belongs to a grassroots class. Zhu Yuanzhang was even more miserable than Washington, not only was he from a bad background, but he was later subjected to years of natural disasters, and the most difficult time was that monks and beggars were all done.
In addition to being both from bitter backgrounds, both of them joined the war in the chaotic world, Zhu Yuanzhang joined Guo Zixing's uprising, and Washington joined the East Coast War at that time. Zhu Yuanzhang then pulled up his own team and became bigger and bigger, while Washington was constantly promoted in the army with his own ability.
The United States and the Ming Dynasty are more similar in that at that time they were under the rule of foreign races, the United States was a British colony at that time, oppressed by the British, the American natives at that time did not even have the right to live, and China was under the rule of the Yuan Dynasty, but also from the rule of foreign races, if the Han people at that time were killed, they only had to lose a donkey.
This kind of inter-ethnic oppression appeared in the Ming Dynasty and the United States. What's even more amazing, of course, is that two leaders with similar experiences have emerged in these two repressed countries. Washington, like Zhu Yuanzhang, was an excellent figure who grew up in battle and led the country to independence. They are undoubtedly the founding chiefs.
Similarities in the heyday
The heyday of the Ming Dynasty should be the two periods of Yongle and Renxuan. The yongle era was an era of national publicity, because many great events were born in that era, such as the compilation of the Yongle Canon, the grand situation of the coming of all nations, the grand event of Zheng He's voyage to the West, and the continuous attack on the forces of the Yuan Dynasty.
After that, the rule of Renxuan was even more recuperating and vigorously reserving national strength. If yongle is the strength of the whole country, then the rule of benevolence is the happiness of the people.
And we look at the United States, since the founding of the United States, but also vigorously develop their own national strength, and the Ming Dynasty vigorously developed agriculture, they adapted to the development of the times, carried out the industrial revolution, but they also experienced a war to lay the peace of their own country, that is, the Civil War.
This was also a war to remove obstacles to the country's development, which had the same significance as the Ming Dynasty's rebellion to quell Zhu Gaoxu. The Signing of tariffs between the United States and other countries to promote trade exchanges is actually the same as Zheng He's voyage to the West.
Although Zheng He's voyage to the West was to a large extent a kind of friendly exchange, in essence it still promoted the development of trade between countries, and after Zheng He went to the West, there was a grand situation of all countries coming to the DPRK, which also had the same effect as the signing of tariff exchanges between the United States and neighboring countries.
A common dilemma more than 200 years later
There are many reasons for the destruction of the Ming Dynasty, but these aspects are similar to the current situation of the United States, and we will first look at the distribution of national wealth. It is said that the Ming Dynasty was poor and dead, and indeed, at the last moment, Chongzhen could not even pay the army's salaries, and could not command any army at all.
But the poverty of the country corresponds to the prosperity of the people in the Jiangnan area. At that time, among the aristocrats of Jiangnan, the popular winemaking was not in the winery, but each of them brewed it themselves, and whose family brewed the best wine, and the grain wasted by this comparison between the nobles, when they arrived in the Southern Ming, even they themselves lamented that the grain they wasted in a year could support the military expenditure of the Ming Dynasty for half a year.
It can be seen from this that the Ming Dynasty was not poor, but that the wealth of the state could not be included in the national treasury, scattered in the hands of the aristocratic class, and could not be used by the state. Then we look at the United States now, the fiscal deficit is too much, the country's operation can not continue, if there is no consortium at this time willing to come up with money to support, then the US government really means bankruptcy.
But is America poor? The answer is obvious: the United States is not poor at all, but most of its wealth is concentrated in the hands of capitalists, and as a treasury, the debt they owe to the country is that all Americans will not eat or drink for two or three years, and they will not be able to pay it with all their efforts.
But internationally, Americans are recognized as rich people, who are these rich people? In fact, it is the rich class, in the United States, there are also many people in the extremely poor class, which is the uneven distribution of national wealth. As in the Ming Dynasty, when the south was proud of making good wine, the people in the north were hungry and cold, and the roads were frozen to death.
The Ming Dynasty was stifled in such a way that the Ming Dynasty was stifled as a result of the revolts, which suppressed the cost of the uprisings and exacerbated the poverty of the country. Let's look at the political party struggle, the party struggle in the Ming Dynasty is very serious, surpassing other dynasties, and finally to the struggle for the sake of the struggle, as long as it is advocated by the other side, it must be what I oppose.
And is there such a phenomenon in the United States now? Nature is there, and the phenomenon of arguing for the sake of argument is everywhere in the United States. It can be said that it is very similar to the party struggle at the end of the Ming Dynasty. In addition, militarily, the main reason for the demise of the Ming Dynasty was the internal uprising and the threat of foreign military, fighting on two fronts.
So is there such a problem in the United States? The United States does not have any military threat, it can be said that it is the world leader, but he has no threat? In fact, his threat lies in the fact that the arms dealer constantly makes him fan the flames in various countries and makes countless enemies.
Moreover, the United States is not without internal contradictions, and the frequent demonstrations have exposed the location of this contradiction in itself, and if this contradiction accumulates to a certain extent, it will definitely destroy the national tranquility. Rising to the military level is not impossible.
epilogue
Every country has a change of prosperity and decline, and smoothly surviving difficult times is the way of survival of every country, and this way of survival needs to find contradictions and resolve them in time, but the US political system determines that the US government must be a tool mastered by the capitalists, so his concept of serving capital is difficult to correct. To this extent, it is more difficult for the United States to get out of its own predicament than the Ming Dynasty, because the Ming Dynasty is after all a feudal society, that is, a process of changing dynasties.
