How authentic is Kanggan Shengshi, which has always been questioned?

China also has many very powerful dynasties with a long history. They became prosperous under the management of emperors and courtiers with strong political ability, and the whole country was prosperous and the people were carefree. In many historical records, we can also feel the prosperity of these prosperous times, and the nearest prosperous time is the Kanggan prosperous time of the Qing Dynasty. As one of the heydays of the Qing Dynasty, many people thought it was a joke. What is the reason?

1, economic reasons

Before the Qing dynasty, the economy of the Ming dynasty was actually very strong. At that time, the iron output was more than twice that of the Northern Song Dynasty. The rapid development of textile industry also makes cotton cloth become the mainstream textile material for future generations. In addition, the Ming dynasty was very developed in porcelain making, architecture and other manufacturing industries, accounting for half of the world's industrial output. The ability of the Qing dynasty in these aspects is indeed not as good as that of the Ming dynasty.

Although there were many people in the prosperous time of Kanggan, the productivity was far less than that of Ming Dynasty. The output of steel and cotton cloth alone could not meet the standards of the Ming Dynasty, so by the end of Kang, the industrial output of China had been falling from top to bottom, but in 200 years, the industrial output of the Qing Dynasty was only one tenth of that of the world. This kind of achievement really makes people doubt whether the anti-sense Shi Sheng is worthy of this name.

In addition, in the heyday of the Ming Dynasty, there were more than13,000 looms used to make silk, while in the Qing Dynasty, there were only more than 300 looms left, but the production index remained unchanged. This led to the weavers' compensation being wasted, and many weavers fled. It was not until there were few weavers left that the Qing authorities really recognized the facts. Coupled with the rapid development of European industry at that time, the Qing Dynasty closed its doors to the outside world and was finally beaten to pieces by the West.

2. Demographic reasons

One of the reasons why Kanggan became a prosperous time is because of the rapid growth of population. The population of the Ming Dynasty was relatively stable, about 63 million. After the war in the early Qing Dynasty, the population of Kangxi broke through the 1 billion mark in 6 1 year and reached 300 million in 5 years. Some people think that this is mainly because the Qing government introduced high-yield crops such as corn, which largely solved the problem of food shortage.

In addition, the tax policy of Kangxi has changed, and the population is no longer the tax basis, which has promoted a large increase in population. Kangxi's policy of never increasing taxes has indeed greatly increased the population, but the quality of this policy is still controversial. Some scholars pointed out that the policies in the later period of Kangxi gradually deviated, and the "fire consumption" levied by various places caused a sudden increase in public pressure, so many people thought that Kanggan was not a good dynasty.

3. Military reasons

Although the Qing Dynasty defeated the Ming Dynasty, it also won many civil wars and defeated Russia, and signed the Treaty of Nebuchadnezzar Chu. However, the reason for the victory of this war is wonderful. At that time, the Qing army besieged Russia for more than ten months, and the Russian army was difficult to support. Finally, the two countries began negotiations. After the war of jaxa, although the Ming Dynasty won on the surface, it actually ceded part of its territory to Russia, so it was not a real victory.
