Martial Arts and Ming Dynasty

Some people say that the Ming Dynasty died due to bandits, some say that the Ming Dynasty died from foreigners, some say that the Ming Dynasty died from natural disasters, and some even say that the Ming Dynasty died from party strife. Different people may have different opinions on the reasons for the fall of the Ming Dynasty. However, for Zhang Wu, there was only one reason for the collapse of the Ming Dynasty, and that was the loss of martial spirit. During the Qin Dynasty, everyone joined the army, nobles were sent to the army, and the warriors of the Qin Dynasty swept across the world and frightened the Xiongnu. During the Han and Tang Dynasties, the martial arts was strong, and literati were proud to write and serve in the army, and China became famous all over the world. In the early years of the Ming Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty soldiers expelled the Tartars and dominated the world. By the end of the Ming Dynasty, the elite and the military were low-ranking, and the military was controlled by literati. The generals of the dynasty could be bullied and killed at will by civilian officials. The lives of ordinary soldiers were precarious, and good men were not allowed to serve as soldiers, so they were discriminated against. The martial spirit of those days has long since been wiped out. "If we want to save China, we must not only expel the Tartars, but also restore the martial spirit of China. This is my responsibility as a brave warrior!" Zhang Wu said.
