taxation in ancient poetry
poetry can prove history. Mr. Chen Yinque's "Yuan Bai's Poems and Notes" is an example. ?
Because the creative process of poetry not only embodies the poet's talent, but also infuses the poet's emotions (including sadness and even complaints), many poems are full of distinct love and hate. ?
If we look for the shadow of taxation in ancient poems, we have to be involved in these two aspects. ?
I collected and leafed through the ancient poems related to taxation, but I found all the papers full of resentment, and wrote all about the corrupt officials' extortions, tears of bitterness and sorrow, and a painful feeling crossed my mind: in the poet's eyes and pen, the image of ancient taxation was so embarrassing. ?
in fact, there is no way not to be embarrassed. Examining the tax revenue in China history from the perspective of grand history, to a great extent, it is one of the reasons that caused or contributed to years of turmoil, people's hunger, long feudal society and slow development of social economy in constant destruction and collapse. Looking at historical classics from the perspective of taxation, in addition to the few Qingming prosperous times created by frivolous taxes, there are all kinds of exorbitant levies, officials and officials, tax refugees, and "taxpayer riots"?
In this way, ancient people's tax poems confirm China's tax history, which is fresh and embarrassing for future generations to read: on the one hand, the tax system changes in the past dynasties, and on the other hand, the poets' numerous grievances about the tax.
