The "signs" before the demise of various dynasties, China is the only country that has ruled out

To be precise, China is a professional household in the history of world subjugation. In the history of the world, ancient Babylon, ancient Egypt, and ancient Rome have also perished, but they usually only perished once.

Why do you say this? Because every time someone dies, because the number of invaders is too large, it is enough to change the ethnic composition of the local people. Therefore, the next group of people will die again, and it has nothing to do with the previous group.

But in China, the Han nationality has always been the main ethnic group in the land of China. Therefore, the Chinese people's subjugation of the country is actually the Han nationality in the subjugation of the country.

Since the Chinese are specialized households in the subjugation of the country, there is a little regularity in their death. If no one even summarizes this law, then China's two thousand years of history will be in vain.

There have been many dynasties in Chinese history. Xia fell to the tyranny of Jie; Shang fell to Zhou's tyranny; Zhou fell to You Wang Wudao (debauchery and shameless, tyrannical); Qin fell to tyranny; Western Han Dynasty fell to Wang Mang's rebellion; Eastern Han Dynasty It was destroyed by Cao Pi; then it entered the Jin Dynasty, and entered the most corrupt and aggressive era in Chinese history; followed by long-term turmoil and division; the Sui Dynasty, which unified the world, perished due to many wars and tyranny; the Tang Dynasty is the history of the Chinese nation. In the prosperous times of the past, the national strength was weakened and the country was divided and perished due to the Anshi Rebellion; the Song Dynasty was destroyed by the invasion of foreign enemies; the Yuan Dynasty was destroyed and the peasant uprising of Zhu Yuanzhang; the Ming Dynasty was destroyed by the invasion of foreign enemies; revolution.

In the process of these dynasties changing, gathering and dispersing, the law and some precursors of the demise of each dynasty can be drawn.

Qin - Daxing Construction - Recruiting a large number of laborers - Taxation - Uprising

Han - Dictatorship - Appointment - Infighting - Conscription - Uprising

1. Excessive concentration of land

In the Western Han regime before the Wang Mang Rebellion, the concentration of land was very serious. When he became emperor, his foreign relatives, the Wang clan, took over the power alone, and the Marquis of Hongyang occupied hundreds of hectares of grassy fields in Nanjun, and even the ripe fields developed by the poor were also occupied.

Emperor Ai's favorite minister Dong Xian was granted more than 2,000 hectares of land. After his death, his family wealth was sold for a huge sum of 4.3 billion. At the end of the Tang Dynasty, Bian Xian, a relative of Prime Minister Lu Yan, had enough money to cover the country's military for two years.

During the Shenzong period of the Ming Dynasty, the royal family owned more than 21,000 hectares of farmland, and King Lu occupied 40,000 hectares of land in Huguang.

The prevalence of Confucianism

The prevalence of Confucianism is an important sign of a dynasty's transition from prosperity to decline, and even its demise. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty only respected Confucianism, which soon led to the Wang Mang Rebellion; when the Tang Dynasty was founded, Taoism was used to govern the world, and Li Tang also claimed to be the successor of Laozi and Li Er. In the middle and late Han Yu, Li Ao began to support Confucianism; The family thought established the country, and Confucianism and Confucianism prevailed in the Southern Song Dynasty, and its typical achievement was Neo-Confucianism.

When a dynasty is about to perish, the interests of the country and the people are in different directions, the overall and individual contradictions are prominent, and coordination is needed, and Confucianism can just complete these tasks. As for the newly established country, people are determined, and benevolence and righteousness are conscious actions, which do not need special emphasis. So it was not Confucianism that led to the demise of the dynasty, but the regime that was about to perish needed Confucianism.

Only dying dynasties needed the Confucian rituals of nihilism to maintain order, nihilisms that reflected fundamental divisions of collective aspirations and individual thought. In the current image project, the nothingness in the performance project is the same as the nothingness of Confucian etiquette, and its function is to maintain the official's face.

3. Various laws emerge in an endless stream, and their implementation is intertwined

Qin died with harsh punishments and harsh laws. The Song and Ming dynasties also had the same problems—the government was corrupt, its enforcement was poor, and various laws could not be enforced, so they had to formulate more laws to maintain social stability. However, due to the excessive number of laws, the implementation is intertwined, and the element of rule of man is often even greater. At the same time, the emergence of a large number of laws is also the result of the game of various forces.

Every power group formulates laws according to their own interests and imposes them on the people. When they are implemented, the truly powerful groups will be protected, while the weaker groups will be punished by the law.

4. The Emergence of New Religions and New Cultures

The Taiping Road in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, the Ming Religion in the late Yuan Dynasty, and the worship of God in the late Qing Dynasty are all such examples. Religion is the spiritual sustenance that people look for in the virtual world after losing hope in the real world.

When the dynasties were replaced, the society was turbulent, people's livelihood was withered, and the ugly side of human nature was revealed. Many original beliefs and beliefs were all destroyed. People had to seek new spiritual comfort, and also provide spiritual support for the new regime. support. Although many times religions fail to achieve regime change, they reflect people's disappointment with reality. At the same time, various ideas of social improvement will also be put forward, and due to the weakening of centralized power and the weakening of the execution of the literary prison, there is room for all kinds of new ideas to develop. For example, the contention of a hundred schools of thought in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, and the New Culture Movement during the May Fourth period.

5. The emergence of large-scale luxury projects

The Great Wall of Qin and the Canal of Sui are typical representatives. Now it seems that the Great Wall Canal is valuable, but at the time, it reflected the fundamental differences in the interests of the country and the people, the whole and the individual. Therefore, these projects, which were famous for later generations, created two short-lived dynasties. On the other hand, due to the excessive concentration of wealth, the upper classes do not understand the sufferings of the lower classes, so they build extravagant projects and lust for extravagance, resulting in a waste of social resources that are not many, and further exacerbating conflicts.

6. Ambiguity

Before the fall of China in all dynasties, everything in society was vague and vague. For example, the ideology and social reality deviate from each other, and the court is praising the peaceful and prosperous age, but the social reality is full of contradictions; another example is the serious disconnection between the policy and the reality.

This paradoxical and ambiguous state of the donkey's lips and the horse's mouth is most concentrated in the officialdom. When a dynasty enters a state of ambiguity, everything seems so beautiful and harmonious.

Fuzzy is a great creation of the Chinese people. It inherits the great legacy of China's "chaos" theory and ushers in a harmonious and prosperous era in which the country will be subjugated and the species will not be destroyed. The only bad thing is that the conqueror will always come when it is blurred to a certain point. In the face of the vague Chinese, the invaders' swords were sharp, cold and real. The last time we were conquered happened 70 years ago. At that time, in the face of serious and unaware invaders, the Chinese either dug a hole to bury themselves, or the knife holder did not change color on the neck, what was that called Staro? The Japanese devils like to come to China to atone for their sins, and talk about the calmness of Chinese people before they die. He said that when he arbitrarily slashed and killed innocent Chinese people, none of those people felt scared and let him slash and kill.

When I saw this, I really wanted to spit on this old devil's face. Is this unhurried? Isn't this the performance of the Chinese people's extreme numbness? Didn't Ah Q think that the circle was not round enough when he was about to die? These people who were slashed by Japan were thinking at this time that the Japanese knives were not fast enough?

It seems that the peaceful and prosperous world has indeed come again, otherwise why is it blurred in front of my eyes again?

7. Superstition "there are soldiers"

This is also a common feature of the collapse of all dynasties.

People have studied the law of dynasty change countless times, but the rulers always don't know how to see the details, but only superstitiously believe that "there are soldiers". History is always a mirror of reality. It is not enough to maintain the regime by coercion alone. It also needs people's hearts. This is the fundamental issue of the legitimacy of the regime. Without a fundamental political system of democracy and the rule of law, a harmonious society will be equally assertive and vague.

People believe that "there are soldiers", so they continue to increase the size of the armed forces, invest heavily, develop and use all advanced coercive means, and hope that they will remain unchanged and respond to changes. The former Soviet Union developed powerful spy agencies and coercive armed forces, and developed nuclear weapons that could almost destroy human beings dozens of times, thinking that they could compete with another nuclear power, the United States, and at the same time, frightened the resisting people to ensure that the regime would last forever. solid. However, in terms of accumulating popular support and maintaining legitimacy, the former Soviet rulers did too little. In the end, the people who had neither freedom nor a general improvement in their living standards had to vote with their feet.

The former Eastern European regimes used to be superstitious about "there are soldiers", but when the people's dissatisfaction accumulated to the outbreak, the regime collapsed almost overnight. The Romanian dictator Ceausescu and his wife were executed within a few days, to the anger of the people. And the Berlin Wall came crashing down 21 years ago...

The key is people's hearts. After the ruler loses people's hearts, the high concrete wall and the hail of bullets cannot stop the collapse of the regime. What's more, when the breeze started at the end of Pingmo, it seemed to say "there are soldiers, there are soldiers", whose soldiers are they?

8. Loss of sense of security

Criminal cases continue, theft, robbery, and murder continue, the common people complain, and even lynching is rampant, then the state power system, especially the state machine, will not be reused. If the police and bandits collude, or if the military acts like bandits, then it's even worse. The Chimei Lulin Uprising in Wagang and the Anshi Rebellion are living examples.

9. The people are not afraid of death

It is inevitable for everyone to die, but how to face death is related to the stability of society. If people think that life is better than death, or that there is no difference between life and death, then there will be problems in such a society. If a group of people has no reverence for life and no respect for their own and other people's lives, they will become very scary. People are not afraid of death, why should they be afraid of death? There are both economic and social reasons for the formation of such groups. In the history of China, this group of people is the easiest to rise up.

10. Frequent natural disasters

People have their destiny, and a country and a dynasty also have their destiny. However, the person who can have great governance must be a sage descended from heaven, and since he is descended from heaven, he must be helped by heaven! The so-called hero makes the situation, and the situation makes the hero.

Turning over the history of our country, the court in the last years of the Yuan Dynasty was sluggish and corrupt. At this time, there was a severe drought and natural disasters, locusts covered the sun, bandits were everywhere, the people starved to death, and there were endless uprisings in various places. In the last years of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the imperial court declined, morals were lost, natural disasters occurred everywhere, and the army was in chaos.

In a few years, the imperial regimes have collapsed one after another, and this series of natural disasters will further promote the decline and demise of a dynasty!

Eleven, the people were silenced

Forbidden speech, such as the Qing Dynasty's literal prison.

Without freedom of the press and freedom of thought, it is quite dangerous for a country. If you can't tell the truth, you can only tell lies or choose to remain silent.

King Li of Zhou used the sorcerer of Weiguo as his secret policeman, and he succeeded in making the way out of slander. As a result, the people rose up to overthrow his rule.

At the end of the autocratic regime, the control of people's thoughts was particularly severe. Ordinary people can't speak normally, so naturally gossip and rumors spread all over the world.

12. There is a huge gap between the rich and the poor, and the powerful group dominates national politics

There are such examples of the end of every dynasty in Chinese history, such as Heshen and Cixi in the Qing Dynasty; Dong Zhuo and Zhang Ren in the Eastern Han Dynasty; Qin Hui in the Southern Song Dynasty; Wang Mang and Shangguan Jie in the Western Han Dynasty.

13. National turmoil begins with sexual turmoil

3000 Yangguang Harem of Sui Dynasty. Another example: Su Daji in the Shang Dynasty, she has a charming appearance, but has a sinister and cruel heart. Before she died, she did not forget to perform seductive spells by unscrupulous means in order to take the post-rank. Daji disrupted the business, framed Zhongliang, and tried her best to be cruel. King Zhou I was a heroic man, who was played by him in the palm of his hand, causing the five hundred years to be destroyed. There is also Bao Si in the Zhou Dynasty, who was a country and a city, crystal clear, cold as frost, and a rare smile. The princes of Fengyan Opera, she finally smiled, extremely cute and brilliant. King You of Zhou also laughed, but because of her last laugh, he became King You's eternal home at the foot of Lishan Mountain, and Bao Si also ended up hanging himself.

In addition, the ancient Roman Empire and ancient Egypt are the biggest examples of this.

According to the historian Gibbon, there was a large bath of Caracalla at that time, which could accommodate 2,300 people at the same time. Men and women are mixed, and promiscuity is endless. There are also plenty of crazy sex festivals, such as the Roman Flower Festival, where 200,000 prostitutes flock to the streets at the same time, and imitations of dildos and pussies are props for orgies. Rome has not only a prostitute festival, but also a gay festival, where homosexuality is protected as a form of marriage. Daughter of the Roman Emperor, who had an affair with half of the men in the Senate. And the wives of the men in the Senate are also indulgent. Obscene folk customs led to a decline in the fertility rate of ancient Romans (meaning people above the free people). Although ancient Rome was once very powerful, it was defeated because of sexual chaos.

The ancient Egyptian Ptolemaic family married close relatives, and Cleopatra's brothers were all impotent and had no descendants. And the Roman consul Caesar attracted Cleopatra, became Caesar's lover and had a son for him. After his death, Caesar became the mistress of another Roman consul, Antony. After Antony's defeat, her illegitimate son with Caesar was killed. Inbreeding made the ancient Egyptian Ptolemaic dynasty inferior to each other from generation to generation, and eventually cut off their descendants, and ancient Egypt died out.

14. Confrontation with external forces

A country's military strength is not enough to confront foreign powers, but it is beyond its own power. As long as an appropriate international environment is formed, it will inevitably be wiped out. Yelang's arrogant lesson has been repeated in history.

Saddam's Iraq used to be known as the fourth military power in the world, but when the United States invaded, the seemingly powerful regime with more than 25 million people was completely destroyed at the cost of the deaths of only 1,000 or 2,000 people. This cannot be. Don't let the world rediscover the weak nature of autocratic dictatorships.

15. Corruption is rampant

Corruption is a harbinger of the loss of the foundation of a country. When corruption becomes the norm, a powerful interest group will inevitably form, unspoken rules prevail, and state laws are disregarded. State decrees, through the hands of corrupt and vicious officials, will surely become tools for power to seek rent and seek personal gain. Bully the upper and lower, fish the people.

Before the demise of the Qing regime, even military spending was taken away to build gardens. In the Sino-Japanese naval battle, the seemingly powerful navy was vulnerable. One of the important factors was that many artillery shells were fake shells. In the naval battle at that time, a few artillery shells could determine the victory or loss of a local battle, which would also affect morale.

Judicial corruption can make a country lose its last barrier.
