Kangxi also hoped to surpass Zhu Yuanzhang through his own efforts. Since Kangxi regards Zhu Yuanzhang as his idol, Kangxi naturally hopes to surpass Zhu Yuanzhang through his own efforts, which is also an affirmation of himself. In Kangxi's mind, Zhu Yuanzhang seems to be his role model. In fact, after the Qing dynasty entered the customs, he continued to adopt some systems of the Ming dynasty, so in name, the Qing dynasty also inherited the Ming dynasty.
03. Kangxi also wanted to use this trick to win over the Han people and safeguard his rule. Kangxi was a very clever emperor. He naturally knew that although the Qing dynasty entered the customs, it seemed that there were still many Han Chinese who were not particularly satisfied with their rule. It is obviously unrealistic to conquer these Han people by force at this time, so Kangxi's move actually has a deeper meaning, that is, to win over the Han people. Facts have proved that Kangxi's move is very clever. It is said that many Han officials shed tears when Kangxi/Kloc-0 bowed down to Zhu Yuanzhang every time.
Of course, I think in feudal society, Kangxi's behavior can be regarded as a kind of respect for the deceased or predecessors. After all, Zhu Yuanzhang's achievements are really great, and it is natural for Kangxi to bow to Zhu Yuanzhang in the south of the Yangtze River. After all, Kangxi was also a wise monarch in history.
