High-light moment in Qing dynasty
The first bright spot, Kangxi period, gradually unified the original Ming dynasty, but also expanded the territory, including Tibet and Mongolia, and also included the area north of the Great Wall in the Qing Dynasty. I have to say that this is a great contribution, just like a poem said, the Great Wall of Wan Li is empty of Wan Li, and the heroic dream is immortal. Directly promote the integration of different ethnic groups and the diversity of many ethnic groups, and the Chinese family will gradually form. The second highlight is that Kangxi fought against Russia, defeated the invaders and inspired national confidence. After the signing of the Treaty of Nebuchadnezzar Chu, the names of the boundary division and ownership of the two peoples in the Treaty of Nebuchadnezzar Chu are "China" and "China people". This is the first time that "China" is regarded as the proper name of a sovereign state in the form of an international treaty. Then Yongzheng made great efforts to quell the Junggar rebellion. The third bright spot, during the Qianlong period, China was the peak of the global agricultural civilization country, with a population of over 300 million and GDP accounting for about 30% of the world, which is equivalent to the proportion of the United States in the world now. It is not difficult to understand that Emperor Qianlong looked down on this and that, boasting that China is a country with vast territory and abundant resources. To tell the truth, it is true that "Kang Gan is prosperous and far away from Han and Tang Dynasties".
The decline of Qing dynasty
1840, the Opium War broke out, Britain won a total victory, and we were completely defeated. At that time, the news shocked the whole world, and the defeat of the Qing Dynasty was unimaginable. Britain has been eyeing the Qing Dynasty for a long time. As a capitalist country, it took a fancy to such a large market and raw material land in the Qing Dynasty. From the beginning of the first industrial revolution in the middle and late18th century to the completion of the industrial revolution in the middle19th century, Britain had the strength and confidence to attack the Qing Dynasty. This is not only a war, but also a contest between two top civilizations. Facts have proved that agricultural civilization has no resistance to industrial civilization. But the Qing government at that time did not think so. It thought it was just a defeat, and it was common for military strategists to win or lose. Since then, it has become semi-feudal and semi-colonial. Later, from the Second Opium War to the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom Movement, the Qing government finally realized that the power of the West was not deep enough, and thought that its system was good, but its technology was not as good as that of the West. The Westernization Movement began. Take the government as the representative to develop military industry, and perhaps the people will also develop some light industry. Before the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895, China's military strength ranked first in Asia and the fleet ranked fifth in the world. But in this way, it was defeated by the Japanese next door.
At that time, Japan was already a "militarist" and fully developed its military strength. Even their emperor only ate one meal a day, just to defeat China. In the Sino-Japanese War of 1894- 1895, Japan won a total victory and no warship sank. On the contrary, no matter how fearless Deng Shichang was and how generous he died, the enemy could not defeat the corruption and incompetence of the ruling class. Our shells didn't explode or sink when they hit a Japanese warship, so there was no chance of sinking. The saddest thing is that we have defeated the war. As long as we don't sign reparations to cede land, Japan will be exhausted and unable to carry out the next war on this scale. In order to show the tolerance of a big country, Cixi agreed to the treaty of humiliating the country again and again. Behind this war, China walked into the semi-colonial and semi-feudal abyss, which led to the partition of China by the world. This is already a crisis moment for the whole Chinese nation. At the beginning of the 20th century, the world gave China a very big "gift". It is no longer shameful for Eight-Nation Alliance to invade China and the Forbidden City. This is trampled. They come here to steal, rob and take anything they want. The sick man of East Asia is all over the world, and the sign "No dogs or people in China" is hung high, and national dignity is trampled on the ground. China people really can't?
national struggle
If silence does not break out, it will perish in silence. From 1839, Lin Zexu destroyed opium in Humen to 19 1 1, Sun Yat-sen became the Republic of China, and finally 1949, New China was founded. In this more than 100 years, the Qing Dynasty was dying step by step, but patriots and talents emerged one after another, and they stood up the backbone of the nation. First, Wei Yuan's "National Map" tells us that we should broaden our horizons, not close ourselves to the outside world, but also learn from foreign countries and advanced western technologies. The Westernization Movement issued the slogan of "self-improvement" and "seeking wealth" to develop China's military industry, and Liang Qichao and Kang Youwei followed the example of British constitutional monarchy. Although they all ended in failure, without exception, China, like the law of the world's development, is tortuous and spiraling for progress, strength and getting rid of colonial oppression. At that time, every step in China was very difficult, but it was still moving forward and developing in depth. When the Qing Dynasty failed, it overthrew, established the Republic of China and developed a democratic country like the West. However, the oppression of feudalism and imperialism still exists. "The revolution has not yet succeeded, and comrades still need to work hard." Then we should explore ways to save China. Considering the national conditions of China, only when the peasants and the absolutely oppressed people in Qian Qian represent the fundamental interests of the overwhelming majority of the people can China be saved. In this way, Li Dazhao and Chen Duxiu aroused Marx's thought and * * * productism for us. Only when the proletariat is the master of the country will China be on the right track. After the founding of New China, the people of China will be liberated from the oppression of feudalism and imperialism. After the Korean War, the world will be dazzled by China, and China will no longer be. It will be able to occupy a country with several cannons and will never come back.
