The Chinese nation originated from the Yellow River and the Yangtze River Basin, and with its unique living environment, the ancestors of the Chinese nation have also continued to multiply on the original basis. It was not until later that the social conditions of the clans and tribes changed to a feudal and autocratic state, and after the formal establishment of such a feudal system, our ancestors also began to expand their territory continuously, so that today the continent can have such a vast land area.
However, in ancient times, the land area of the continent was not constant, but changed with the comprehensive strength of different dynasties. At its peak, the Mongol Empire in the north, as well as Central and Western Asia and even Southeast Asia, were also the territory of the mainland. Moreover, the influence of ancient China on these neighboring countries still exists even today. For example, in the textbooks of Outer Mongolia, when telling their own history, they basically write about China.
The Mongol Empire, which has been through hardships
In Mongolia, which is now located in the north of the continent, from the very beginning of its formation and development, to today's independent regime and territory, it can be said that it has experienced ups and downs and tribulations. As early as the Qin and Han dynasties, there were already many nomadic peoples in the Mongolian regions north of the mainland, but during this period, these ethnic minorities did not establish a unified political power, nor did they move towards unity, but each operated within its own territory.
Until later, the mainland established a unified feudal dynasty, and began to expand outwards, during this period, whether it was the powerful Xiongnu or the Xianbei and the Mongols in the north, they had to fear the strength of the Qin Dynasty, so these surrounding ethnic minorities had to choose to submit to the Central Plains Dynasty. After this, most of these ethnic minorities were subservient to the Central Plains Dynasty, after all, their social development was relatively backward, and it was also a wise choice to choose to succumb to others.
But the Mongol tribes entrenched in the north have not always been undeveloped, and with their nomadic characteristics and vast territorial area, they have also established themselves in the north. Later, with the support and help of Soviet Russia, he established a political power belonging to his own nation within his jurisdiction. Later, its own strength even made the Central Plains Dynasty jealous.
The most typical example is the case of the Mongolian-Qing marriage during the Qing Dynasty, where many of the concubines of the Emperor Taiji were born in Mongolia at that time. For example, the Empress Xiaozhuang, as we know her, was born here, and the two sides reached a strategic alliance through this marriage, not invading each other and supporting each other. But in general, the development of Mongolia is still very tortuous, until modern times, social changes and the end of the world war, which gradually stabilized the Mongolian regime.
What is the textbook historical narrative of Outer Mongolia?
Since Outer Mongolia has gone through a long and tortuous development process to establish its own political power, it is natural to continue it. The continuation and development of a country is certainly inseparable from the cultivation of domestic talents, so today Mongolia still attaches great importance to the construction of education. In this process, history is also told, and history textbooks are compiled, so that more Outer Mongolians can understand the development of their own people.
However, it can be said that most of the national development of Outer Mongolia and the establishment of the later political power are related to China, after all, for a long time the Outer Mongolian regime was dependent on the Central Plains Dynasty, so how do the history textbooks they wrote describe such a historical fact? From the textbooks in Inner Mongolia, we can know that the historical events they compiled are basically considered and viewed from their own perspective.
Although it is said that some real events in history are not denied, and they are not much different from the history books of the mainland, there are great deviations in some historical views and cognitions. The history of their own people is roughly divided into three parts, one part of which is the fact that in ancient times it was divided and subjugated to the Central Plains Dynasty. The middle part tells the glory of the Mongol Empire after its establishment, and finally how they experienced infighting after the fall of the Mongol Empire, and finally towards unity.
It seems that there is no problem, but in many historical descriptions, they have a great prejudice against the Central Plains Dynasty on the mainland. Even the period of friendship with the Manchu Qing Dynasty also raised how the ancient feudal dynasties on the mainland suppressed them and how they exercised population control, and how the territory of their own country was invaded and occupied by our ancient dynasty. In these narratives, whether they are true or not, they are full of gunpowder.
The reasons behind different historical perspectives
There are many factors that lead to this vastly different perception and the emergence of hostile consciousness. First of all, from the perspective of the subjective consciousness of the Outer Mongolian nation, any country or nation will inevitably have personal and national emotional factors in describing its own development process and suffering. So it is expected that they will exaggerate the history of their own people, and even have some very different views and perceptions.
Secondly, from the perspective of some objective factors, some of the history textbooks in Outer Mongolia do indeed conform to the historical facts of the past. The former Mongol Empire, as a powerful force and ethnic minority regime in the north, will certainly make the Central Plains Dynasty jealous, so in ancient times, the rulers of many dynasties on the mainland would try to suppress the development of Outer Mongolia forces.
Speaking of population control, it was mainly the rulers of the Qing Dynasty who enslaved and educated Outer Mongolia and restricted their own development. In this way, the gap in strength between the two sides can be opened, and while the Qing Dynasty continues to develop, it can also reduce the threat of Outer Mongolia to itself and the hidden dangers in the future, so that when the population of the Qing Dynasty has exceeded 100 million, the population of Outer Mongolia does not increase but decreases.
epilogue
But then again, with the abolition of feudal absolutism and the collapse of the Qing Dynasty, the mainland has entered a new era. A new regime was gradually established, and peaceful diplomacy was carried out, advocating a path of peaceful development of mutual benefit and win-win results. Today's China is still strong, but it does not have the aggressive nature of the past, nor does it arbitrarily occupy the territory of other countries and start wars. If we still retain the sense and thinking of confrontation that we once had, it is obviously not conducive to the development of the two countries.
