It should be the largest - our country has the largest population in the world in ancient times.

What is written in history textbooks now is
From the second year of Emperor Ping of the Western Han Dynasty (AD 2) ) to the second year of Yongshou in the Eastern Han Dynasty (AD 156), the population dropped from 59.59 million to 56.49 million. From the third year of Daye in the Sui Dynasty (AD 607) to the fourteenth year of Tianbao in the Tang Dynasty (AD 740), the population increased from 46.01 million to 52.91 million. In the 16th year of Jiading in the Southern Song Dynasty (1223), there were 76.81 million people. In the twenty-seventh year of Yuan Dynasty (1290), there were 58.83 million people. In the twenty-sixth year of Hongwu in the Ming Dynasty (1393), there were 60.54 million people. In the sixth year of Wanli in the Ming Dynasty (1578), there were 60.69 million people. For 1,600 years before the Qing Dynasty, China's population had been hovering between 30 and 70 million people. The Han Dynasty, which was at its peak, even experienced negative growth for more than 150 years. In the more than 130 years from the Sui Dynasty to the prosperous Tang Dynasty, the population only increased by 15%. Forty years after the Qing Dynasty entered the customs, that is, in the 24th year of Kangxi (1685), China's population exceeded the 100 million mark, reaching 101.71 million. Another 110 years later, this number more than doubled to 297 million people, a growth rate of over 192%. In 1912, when the Qing Dynasty ended, China's population reached 405.81 million. Even if this number is maintained until the end of the twentieth century, it will still make China worthy of the title of the world's most populous country. Of course, the balance of historical development has tilted, and a huge population is no longer just an honor but has increasingly become a heavy burden. That is another issue. The Chinese nation has become the largest ethnic group in the world and cannot be underestimated by any international force. The achievements of the Qing Dynasty are direct and indelible, far beyond the comparison of the Han and Tang Dynasties.
