The Yuan Dynasty once wanted to return farmland to forests and develop animal husbandry. Is this one of the reasons for the demise of the Yuan Dynasty?

In most people's impression, the Qing Dynasty seems to be a very "cruel" dynasty, pursuing a very cruel ethnic policy, which is reflected in the relationship between the Han people and the Mongols.

Since the Qing Dynasty was founded by Mongols, of course, the influence of Han people in the Zhou Dynasty was extremely low, and they were often cruelly squeezed by some Mongolian royal families. But in fact, this view is not established after historians have passed the long-term qualification certificate.

The only influential thing is that Han people who want to be an official in the Qing Dynasty will be blocked, but they are not squeezed at all. In addition, it should be pointed out that in the impression of most people, the Huns in Mongolia will undoubtedly be very tyrannical and slaughter for no reason, but if you master yuan dynasty history, you can find that the Qing Dynasty was not tyrannical, but a rare period with relatively loose laws.

According to historical records, only dozens or even many people were executed every year for theft in the Qing Dynasty. Moreover, it is worth mentioning that when people look at prisoners in the Qing Dynasty, it is not easy to print words on people's faces for no reason, as in the Song Dynasty. Mongolians don't like to print or disfigure our faces. Mongolians have different feelings about their heads.

Therefore, criminals are regarded as more "valued". Compared with the slaughter of nine families for no reason many times in history, which killed hundreds, thousands or even tens of thousands of people in a single case, the laws and regulations of the Qing Dynasty were indeed quite loose.

But some people may want to say that "there is no China behind the cliff", which must be the destruction of China traditional culture by the rulers of the Qing Dynasty in China. As developed as the economic development in Song Dynasty, if it hadn't been destroyed by Mongols, it might have entered the bourgeois society long ago! If you think about this, then you still have to think about a problem: the previous Song Dynasty was already sunset and the prosperity was gone. If the Mongols don't go south, will they be replaced by other political parties? We should understand that the replacement of dynasties in ancient history is very routine.

So under such consideration, do you think the Qing Dynasty is different again? These rulers of the Qing Dynasty also joined the culture and art of China, and the Mongols were also members of the Chinese nation. If the Song Dynasty was not replaced by Mongols at that time, but by other foreign political parties, would it be like Europe? Therefore, it is wrong to take the blame for the destruction of Qing culture and art with assumptions.

In addition, although the Mongols are barbaric and crazy, they also promote the prosperity of folk culture invisibly. For example, the imperial examinations in the Qing Dynasty were relatively tiring and did not last for a period of time. The final conclusion led to many literati by going up one flight of stairs, but it was not wrong. It unconsciously developed into a unique Yuan Dynasty zaju culture and art.

Among them, Ma Zhiyuan was a famous Sanqu writer at that time, and was also called "the scholar of Yuefu" by others. Therefore, even today, Sanqu and China's classical poems are either synthetic, and it is not difficult to see that their cultural and artistic influence is not low. But in fact, there is a key reason behind the benevolent politics and law in the Qing dynasty, that is, "the bureaucratic system lacks culture."

But in fact, there is a key reason behind the benevolent politics and law in the Qing dynasty, that is, "the bureaucratic system lacks culture."

As we know, in most ancient dynasties, the bureaucratic system has always been the most prosperous working institution of the emperor. Due to the prevalence of bureaucracy, it can largely bypass the containment of the royal group company and promote the monarchy at the same time. But there are advantages and disadvantages. If the bureaucracy is complex, or some high officials collude for personal gain, the monarchy will also be restricted and in jeopardy.

Therefore, today, the struggle between the emperor and bureaucratic capitalism has never stopped. But it was different in the Qing Dynasty. The Qing Dynasty is a dynasty that attracts grasslands, and its ruling structure is very different from that of the Central Plains Dynasty, so the bureaucratic system needed by the Central Plains Dynasty is a culture that the Qing Dynasty lacks.

So in this way, the bureaucratic system's ability to contain the emperor as himself will be seriously weakened, the emperor can do whatever he wants, and the individual's arbitrariness will be unprecedentedly improved. Of course, this large sum can only be realized by bureaucratic capitalism. Correspondingly, as a personal slave in a sense, the routine operation of the bureaucratic system has been destroyed. On the contrary, the autocratic ability of the monarchy as a system design has also been seriously weakened. Therefore, ruling the kingdom is felt from the aspect of social development.

Therefore, the rule of Dayuan Empire was so fragmented, dictatorial and relaxed that Zhu Yuanzhang felt that Dayuan's failure was due to his "excessively lenient legislation".
