First of all, let's be clear that every dynasty in history has its own unique strengths and weaknesses, and Yi Zhongtian's remarks favoring the Qing dynasty are not unfounded.
The Qing rulers did carry out a series of important political, economic, and cultural reforms to the country.
They were powerful in governing and tried to rectify the government and implement a series of laws and regulations to maintain social order and the prosperity of the country.
The Qing Dynasty also carried out a series of agricultural development and handicraft promotion, which provided conditions for scientific and technological progress and cultural development.
However, historical facts are not the same as glorification, nor can they be judged simply on the basis of personal preferences.
Although the Ming Dynasty had some problems in governance and development in some aspects, it was also a period of vitality and creativity.
The prosperity and glory of the Ming Dynasty stemmed from its profound cultural heritage and emphasis on education.
In a broad sense, the culture of the Ming Dynasty inherited the political and ethical ideas of the Southern Song Dynasty and had obvious Confucian colors, while the culture of the Ming Dynasty in the narrow sense mainly referred to the literature of the Ming Dynasty.
The literature of the Ming Dynasty is unique in both content and form, including the flourishing of drama and the rise of novels.
Overall, the Ming Dynasty made great contributions to the political, cultural, and artistic development of the mainland.
The reason why Yi Zhongtian belittled the Ming Dynasty and praised the Qing Dynasty may have been influenced by some one-sided understanding of history and personal preferences.
When evaluating a dynasty, people should consider it comprehensively from multiple dimensions, rather than simply summarizing a period by praise or disparagement.
Each dynasty in history has its own unique value and significance, and we should respect the objective facts of history and understand them from the perspective of history.
In the long course of history, every dynasty has its bright and dark sides, and both the Ming and Qing dynasties were important periods in Chinese history.
We should look at history objectively and understand the characteristics and contributions of each dynasty in order to enrich our knowledge and understanding of history, rather than simply dividing it into good and bad, high and low.
History is not only a carrier of documentary, but also a treasure trove of wisdom and experience from which we can draw. Let us be tolerant and open-minded so that the truth of history can be presented more comprehensively and accurately. Let's walk into the corridor of history together, appreciate the breadth and profundity of culture, and feel the immersive beauty of history.
