Jiashen Incident

Wang Xingya

131K0

At the beginning of the Jiashen period during the Ming and Qing dynasties, the three regimes of the Ming, Dashun, and Qing dynasties fought fiercely in China. After Li Zicheng defeated the Ming army in five battles in the Central Plains, he founded the country of Xi'an, divided his troops into two groups, and pushed directly towards Beijing, making him invincible. The ruthless Emperor Chongzhen's plans to save the crisis went bankrupt one after another. With no other choice, he hanged himself on Meishan Mountain, announcing the fall of the Zhu Ming Dynasty. The Dashun leadership group was satisfied with the victory they had achieved, forgot about it, and handled it inappropriately, which was exploited by the Qing Dynasty. Wu Sangui surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, the Dashun army defeated Shanhaiguan, and the Qing army marched straight in, using force to defeat the heroes and complete the unification of the country. From then on, the less civilized Manchus became the ruling nation in China, further strengthening imperial power and strengthening ideological control, which hindered the normal development of the commodity economy in China. As a result, the Chinese civilization, which had long been the world's leader, fell behind the Western world.

The above-mentioned controversial historical doubts surfaced one by one in Professor Gengzhe's detailed and detailed narrative, becoming concrete and clear. This book uses a smooth, concise and humorous narrative style to analyze and interpret the characters, events and the various relationships between the late Sui and early Tang Dynasties.

The prime minister's job function is to balance.

In other words, the prime minister can balance the various relationships between the upper and lower, internal and external, and between the people of the court, so that all positions and all strata in the entire system can perform their duties and do what they want. This is the greatest success. This book is not a history textbook, but uses the past to draw lessons from the present, uses history to reflect reality, uses history to dissect human nature, and tells us the deepest and essential principles of life and doing things.

The Ming and Qing Dynasties were the heyday of the development of academies in my country, and were also a period of reform and restructuring. The reasons were closely related to the trends of scholar-bureaucrats during this period. Therefore, it is very important to study the interactive relationship between scholar-bureaucrats and academies during the Ming and Qing Dynasties.

This project provides a comprehensive, in-depth and systematic discussion of the interactive relationship between scholar-bureaucrats and academies during the Ming and Qing Dynasties.

All of these have certain innovative significance.

The second part reviews the interactive relationship between scholar-bureaucrats and academies before the Ming Dynasty, aiming to reveal that the interaction between scholar-bureaucrats and academies during the Ming and Qing Dynasties was the continuation and necessity of historical development. The third part is a study of the role of scholar-bureaucrats in the development of academies during the Ming and Qing Dynasties, mainly from the aspects of founding and repairing academies, donating salaries, raising funds, participating in academy management, creating a cultural atmosphere of the academy, and promoting the reform and restructuring of the academy.

"Feng Yuxiang was originally illiterate, but later he could write well and speak simple English, and became an educated person. This is naturally the result of his hard work. It is said that when he was the governor of Henan, he studied hard for two hours a day. When he was studying, he hung a sign at the door saying "Feng Yuxiang" "Dead." Scholar Liu Bannong not only wrote poems and lyrics, but was also a master of photography. In 1927, he said in the book "Bannong Talks about Photography": "The so-called pastime is to find something to do after having enough food - or in other words, not having enough food - to waste precious time in preciousness." Eight years ago, Lu Xun was copying the epitaphs of the Six Dynasties in the Shaoxing Museum. I asked him what his purpose was, and he said: This is just like taking opium. Alas, I am also like this in photography. " Uncle Zhou, a bibliophile, compared books to women. He said to Huang Shang, another junior bibliophile: "Good stereotypes are equal to good innate figures; if the printer is good, that is, a very clear first print, it means good acquired development; coupled with good decoration , bindings like Uncle Fu Yuan's that are sprinkled with gold silk and gold inlaid with jade, it is like wearing fine clothes; after being collected by celebrities, the mark of vermilion on the seal is equivalent to rouge pollen; if it is inscribed by another celebrity, it will add even more charm.

From Shogunate to Official: the Transformation and Troubles of the Foreign Official System in the Qing Dynasty

Guan Xiaohong

312K0

The reform of the official system in the late Qing Dynasty changed the original "internal and external maintenance" pattern to a top-down focus, which was an important part of the transformation of modern political systems. The overall goal of the reform is to imitate the West and transition from an autocratic monarchy to a constitutional monarchy. The Qing court tried to lay a constitutional foundation for official governance through official system reform, and then refreshed the official system and proposed a political platform; however, the reform led to serious irregularities in the ruling order, sharp social conflicts, and the Qing court's rapid demise. Its shortcomings are mainly that the monarchs and ministers only care about their own selfish interests, obstruct reforms, and cannot respond to the interests of all aspects of society. The outcome is also very different from their expectations.

This book tells the story of the development and decline of the Yuan Dynasty. Genghis Khan unified the steppe tribes and transformed them into a country in a nomadic background, and then launched a challenge to civilized society. The author tells how the Mongols, who had strong military power, only lasted for ninety-eight years due to cultural differences and flaws in their governance model. However, in the process, Tibet and Yunnan were added to the Chinese territory, establishing the basic layout of China's territory. The rulers also hope to establish their own cultural model. However, for them who broke into the civilized world directly from the backward grasslands, the only cultural forms they can recognize and understand are almost only religions, which makes them elevate various religions to unprecedented status. The religious policy of the Yuan Dynasty was very relaxed, and some sects that were considered heretics in the past were able to develop well, which directly led to the demise of this powerful empire.

Content introduction: After the disastrous defeat in the Yellow Sea Battle in the Sino-Japanese War of 1991, peace became more difficult. Li Hongzhang was ordered to negotiate peace and signed the Treaty of Shimonoseki despite humiliation. Is Li Hongzhang a paper decorator of dilapidated houses in the late Qing Dynasty, or a trend-setter at the forefront of the times? Is the Shimonoseki negotiation a loss of power and humiliation to the country and letting others slaughter it, or is it a matter of painstaking efforts to seize food from the tiger's mouth? Was the defeat of the Sino-Japanese War the end of the Westernization Movement, or was it the dawn of modern times? After that, Yan Fu and others began to think about the reform of China's system, which also gave rise to the transformation from self-reliance through law to self-reliance through legislation.
