The Order to Protect the Dragon: Part 6: Ming and Qing Dynasties

The "Dragon Protecting Order" series uses Chinese civilization as a picture scroll to depict the thousand-year epic of the Zhang family protecting the dragon's veins and selecting talents to assist the government since the Yellow Emperor's mandate. The seven parts run through the long history of history: "The War of Qin and Han" established the unification of the tripod, "The Three Kingdoms" emerged in large numbers, the "Five Hus" blended blood, "The Heroes of the Sui and Tang Dynasties" flourished, the "Song and Yuan Dynasties" clashed civilizations, "The Ming and Qing Dynasties" reincarnated dynasties, and "The War of Resistance" was the backbone of the nation. The Dragon Guards always appear at critical moments in history, with the mission of "protecting the dragon's veins, selecting virtuous kings, and peace of mind", guiding Chinese civilization through many crises and witnessing the immortal spiritual inheritance of the Chinese nation. "Order to Protect the Dragon: Ming and Qing Dynasties": At the end of the Ming Dynasty, the sky collapsed and the earth collapsed, and the dragon veins screamed. The Dragon Guards faced the most difficult choice: Chongzhen was diligent but unable to turn the tide, Li Zicheng was powerful but not a real dragon, and the Manchu Qing Dynasty outside the pass was eyeing him. Zhang Huangyan and other disciples of the Dragon Guard helped Nanming continue Han Zuo for twenty years and defend the last line of defense of Chinese civilization. However, the Qing Dynasty has settled the Central Plains, and the Dragon Guards have realized a new way in the blood and fire: some of the disciples have hidden among the people, secretly guarding the fire of civilization as doctors and scholars; some have integrated into the new dynasty, guarding the foundation of China from the inside, and opening up a new path for the survival of civilization. Protecting the Chinese cultural heritage has never been a task that one person, one family, one surname or one dynasty can accomplish independently. It is the result of countless generations of Chinese people passing on the fire and working together. I would like to express my highest respect to all the martyrs and sages who fought and struggled to protect Chinese civilization!
