The Qing Dynasty was a unified country. Why did it look like a piece of sand when it was invaded by foreign powers?
Then, the question is, China has been unified for two thousand years since the Qin Dynasty, and the Qing Dynasty is also a unified multi-ethnic country. Why is it like a piece of sand in the face of foreign aggression?
First, class contradictions are greater than ethnic contradictions. From Qin Dynasty to Qing Dynasty, China belonged to ancient society, and the contradiction between landlords and peasants was the main contradiction in society. Farmers just want to pay less rent, landlords just want to collect rent, and they only have eyes for each other. At the end of the Qing Dynasty, the influence of foreign aggression on ordinary people was still relatively small, which was not enough to change the main contradiction in China society.
It was not until the "September 18th Incident" that China faced the crisis of national subjugation and extinction, and national contradictions (China and China) surpassed class contradictions and became the main contradiction in Japanese society. At this time, China talents unite and unite with the outside world.
Second, the national consciousness has not yet fully awakened. During the Song and Ming Dynasties, China people already had national consciousness. However, under the rule of obscurantism in the Qing Dynasty, the national consciousness of ordinary people in China declined. By the end of Qing Dynasty, China people's national consciousness needed to be awakened again.
Furthermore, the people at the bottom of China have always been accustomed to the change of dynasties. No matter who is the emperor, the people still pay the rent. Changing the dynasty has little to do with the people. In the eyes of the people, the invasion of foreign powers may just be another change of dynasty.
Third, the limitations of the times. During the two thousand years after the unification of the Qin Dynasty, China, as a unified country, was really powerful. During the Han and Tang dynasties, it was good to open up territory when there were times when gods were killed and when there were times when buddhas blocked buddhas. At that time, China was more United and powerful than any other country in the world.
But the problem is that by the end of the Qing Dynasty, times had changed.
Compared with the previous dynasties, the Qing Dynasty had a higher degree of unification, but there was no qualitative leap. Compared with the European powers after the industrial revolution, the gap is obvious.
To put it more bluntly, the unification of the Qing Dynasty belongs to the ancient version and was invincible in ancient times. However, after the rise of western powers, the unification of China fell behind, belonging to a low level.
The great powers established modern financial, economic, military and educational systems, but the Qing Dynasty still followed the improved version of the three provinces and six departments system in Sui and Tang Dynasties, and the great powers could manage every citizen. The Qing dynasty was still "the imperial power did not go down to the county." Like the Tang Dynasty, the great powers fought against the Turks in the Qing Dynasty, which was unified at the top and at the bottom.
Fourth, the result of backward productivity. After the opening of modern history, the level of productivity development in the West has completely surpassed that of China. No matter how United China is, it will face the situation of being beaten behind in front of western powers.
5. Other reasons. The level of knowledge will affect a person's national consciousness and national consciousness. Although the Qing Dynasty had a large population and a large territory, the literacy rate of the Qing people was very low, only 10%.
The Qing Dynasty was wary of the Han people and deliberately suppressed their bloodiness and rebellious consciousness.
And poverty. Most people in the Qing dynasty were so poor that they couldn't even fill their stomachs, let alone share their worries for the country.
