The six-dimensional pictures of emperors of all dynasties were exposed, and the ancestors panicked

Chapter 697 Why is he not considered the greatest emperor of all time?
{It can be said that Emperor Kangxi is a great emperor, but to call him the greatest emperor of all time is really an overstatement.}
{First of all, I acknowledge the achievements of the Kangxi Dynasty.}
{It established the largest territory since the Yuan Dynasty, and attached great importance to mathematics and Western medicine, which laid a good foundation for modern Chinese and Western medicine and mathematical algorithms. Even though it was interrupted during the Qianlong period, the basic framework is still there.}
{Kangxi also maintained the unity of the multi-ethnic country and signed the Treaty of Nerchinsk... Let's not talk about whether the Treaty of Nerchinsk was fair or not... At least it guaranteed the stability and territorial integrity of the Northeast, the Ussuri River Basin, including Sakhalin Island.}
{As for why he cannot be called the greatest emperor of all time, the first reason is that Kangxi’s literary inquisition policy led to the ignorance of the people.}
{The policy of keeping the people ignorant has existed since ancient times, but it is unique to see a policy like the Qing Dynasty, which did not treat the people as human beings but as semi-slaves.}
{In order to keep the people in a state of ignorance, the Qing Dynasty did not allow common people to receive education. Except for the descendants of local Han gentry, most common people were not qualified to read and write. Even if they could read, they read books that had been tampered with and smeared.}
{During the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty, the national literacy rate was about 20%, but by the end of the Qing Dynasty, because the Qing Dynasty destroyed most of the private schools in the country, the literacy rate dropped to less than 1%. }
{This data is not made up by me, it was announced by the late Qing government itself.}
{In 1909, the Ministry of Education conducted the third education statistics, and found that there were only one million students in the country, and only about three million people were literate, while the country's population was 4 million, which was less than 1%.}
{The Qing government collected this data for the purpose of constitutionalism, and originally planned to raise the national literacy rate to 1916% by 5.}
{Why should this be blamed on Kangxi? Because he was the first to do so.}
{During the Shunzhi reign, there were 17 private schools in the county, but by the Kangxi, Yongzheng, and Qianlong reigns, only one remained.}
{“Anyone who opens a private school without permission will be executed immediately! The courses taught in private schools must be reviewed. If there are any violations, they will be charged with treason and executed immediately!”}
……

Big man.

Lu Zhi secretly glanced at the people around her.

This was the first time she saw this man look so serious.

"Are kings, princes, generals, and ministers of different species?"

Liu Bang saw the deepest darkness under this policy.

"They want to remove the word 'Ning'."

"The emperor and the aristocratic families have joined forces."

"Really..."

"Very good..."

Liu Bang just felt a little annoyed.

"It's pitch dark..."

……

The period of Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty
Liu Qi glared at him.

It’s not that he is speaking out for the injustice of the vast majority of civilians, but his ability is not yet visible enough.

But I also know one thing.

The brilliance of civilization comes from the general public.

A culture that is limited to a specific scope will only disappear.

In other words, the Qing Dynasty was pursuing another strategy that would lead to the destruction of the country.

Just like the history books about the fall of the Qin Dynasty to the six kingdoms.

"Father, will the Qing Dynasty last long?"

Liu Qi didn't want it emotionally, but he really couldn't see any hope rationally.

Liu Heng had a blank expression from the beginning, as if everything had nothing to do with him.

After hearing Liu Qi's words, he said calmly:

"Looking at the ruling regimes of all dynasties, basically the first priority is to integrate into Chinese culture."

"Use culture to promote unity and seek development."

"The Qing dynasty did the opposite, which would ultimately lead to a catastrophe."

Liu Qi opened his mouth and said obscurely:

"catastrophe?"

Liu Heng's eyes were deep.

"The Qing dynasty's opponents are no longer just grasslands."

"Have you forgotten what Tianmu said about the Eight-Nation Alliance?"

"They have reached Beijing."

……

{Second, it actively restricted the development of productivity.}
｛In the past, people often said that the Qing Dynasty “closed its doors to the outside world”, but we didn’t know the truth, and we just memorized what was written in the books.｝
{But in fact, the Qing Dynasty nobles never gave up communicating with the world. They had been obtaining information and intelligence from other countries, but they chose to close the country to the outside world.}
{Since the end of the Ming Dynasty, a large number of missionaries have entered the Chinese upper echelons. During the reigns of Emperors Kangxi, Yongzheng, and Qianlong, there were nearly 80 missionaries living in the palace. These people were ostensibly called missionaries, but in fact they were all Western scholars.}
{German Johann Adam Schall von Bell presented the "Western New Calendar" and was in charge of astronomy and calendar during the Shunzhi reign.}
{The Belgian Nan Huairen and the Italian Min Mingwo revised the "Kangxi Eternal Calendar" and taught Kangxi astronomy and mathematics.}
｛The Portuguese Ando explained Euclid's "Elements of Geometry" to Kangxi.｝
{Kangxi studied Western algebra, geometry, astronomy, geography, pharmacology, anatomy, music theory, European philosophy, and even knew a small amount of Latin, English, French, and Russian.}
{Some of the terms commonly used in modern mathematics, such as square, root, power, and element, were translated by Kangxi himself.}
{While Kangxi was studying on his own, he also tried to prevent the Han people from learning this information.}
{He prohibited the Han people from contacting foreigners and prohibited foreigners from translating books into China. The Han people had no chance to be exposed to modernization.}
{So there was no such thing as a closed-door policy? The Qing dynasty's top leaders knew the truth all along.}
{But they could not allow these powerful productive forces to enter China, because once the Han people learned these skills, the rule of the Manchu nobles would be threatened.}
……

Great Sui.

Yang Jian decided to rearrange the blacklist of dynasties in his mind.

The Qing Dynasty temporarily ranks first.

Dugu Jialuo recalled the eagle-controlling techniques she had seen when she was young.

"Only by keeping the people in a state of semi-hunger and semi-ignorance can we make them work hard for survival and have no time to think or resist."

"Be a good slave for the rest of your life."

"In this way, the lower-class people will gradually become ugly, ignorant, poor, dirty, mean, dull, numb, with distorted personalities and corrupt morals."

"The emperor is showing his kindness again."

“The people were grateful and loyal to the imperial court.

Yang Jian licked his lips.

"black."

“It’s damn dark.”

...{And in his later years he indulged in corruption. The serious consequence of these mistakes was China's backwardness in modern times. So in short, Kangxi is not worthy of being called the greatest emperor of all time, but he can be called the great emperor.}
{Those who say Kangxi is unworthy probably haven't even finished high school. The fact that high school history textbooks put Qin Shihuang, Tang Taizong and Kangxi in the same unit speaks volumes.}
{Are you here to tell a joke? Some versions specifically list Yuan Hong, Emperor Xiaowen of the Northern Wei Dynasty. According to your logic, Yuan Hong is also an emperor of all time?}

……

Northern Wei Dynasty, period of Emperor Xiaowen

Yuan Hong, who was designing new clothing, pulled his head out of the desk.

He looked at the "war" in the sky and blinked.

"If it's possible... I have no objection!"

"and……"

Yuan Hong's eyes lit up.

After all, I can say that I have also contributed to the Chinese translation, right?

"Three times five times two, I am equal to Zhu Yuanzhang!"

Yuan Xi, who was sorting out memorials, was stunned.

You = Zhu Yuanzhang?
What do you think?

……

Southern Qi·Era of Emperor Wu
Xiao Ze originally admired that certain textbook very much.

But when he saw that the barbarian in the north could get up there, he immediately sneered!
"It is unclear whether Kangxi can be considered the greatest emperor in history."

"But the one to the north certainly doesn't count!"

"If he counts, then I count too!"

Xiao Zhaoye put his hands in his sleeves and asked doubtfully:
"But the one in the north has the merit of sinicization?"

Xiao Ze's eyelids jumped, and he gritted his teeth and said:
"I didn't hit you lightly enough!"

……

{To be honest, apart from the outrageous actions taken to protect the ruling class, Kangxi was definitely a wise ruler.}
{Without Kangxi, there would be no Qing Dynasty. Kangxi can be regarded as the ruler who saved the Qing Dynasty and re-founded it, so I think Kangxi is still worthy of the title of "Emperor of the Qing Dynasty".}
{Kangxi was a wise and benevolent ruler. Whether he was the greatest emperor of all time is up to future generations to discuss.}
{Descendants: Don’t leave all the shit to me!}
……

On the canopy.

Under the gazes of the Qing emperors who were either expectant, enthusiastic or calm.

Option 2 is far superior to option 1.

At the same time, the golden light reappears!
I can’t help but write, but I’ll just stop at the very beginning.

Culture is the result, not the cause.

Economy and productivity are the causes of all things.

Analyzing things based on culture is vague and illogical.

Only by finding the economic chain can we analyze things accurately.

Where does the root cause of the suffering of the Chinese nation over the past few hundred years come from?

In fact, it was the suppression of productivity and education that gave rise to the dark modern China and the miserable situation in China for three hundred years.

As long as productivity and education are released, China will immediately return to the top of the world.

And China’s decline in those three hundred years was not a cultural problem at all.

But the methods used by the West and the Qing Dynasty nobles to keep the people ignorant are the same.

They hope that we have cultural inferiority complex, sanctify themselves and debase ourselves.

This is reversing cause and effect.

This can be seen from the current popularization and development of Hanfu.

But to be honest, I think the round-neck robe of the Tang Dynasty is more suitable for modern people.

Although Song and Ming Hanfu can be worn for photographs, it is indeed a bit inconvenient in real life.

……

Let’s talk about the real problem.

What did Kangxi give?
The problems of the Qing Dynasty are very clear, but they are so fucking unsolvable!

They know everything but they just don’t change it.

No one can do anything about this!
