What is the prosperous time of Kanggan?

Say "kanggan prosperous times" is a farce, in fact, there is some truth:

First, because the scale of "Kanggan Shengshi" has only increased in quantity, but not in quality. Although the territory of the Song Dynasty was not as big as that of the Qing Dynasty, the economy of the Song Dynasty accounted for 70% of the world, and the industrial output value of the Ming Dynasty also accounted for two-thirds of the world. Therefore, both the Song Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty hung the western world in all directions, but by the so-called "prosperous period of Kanggan", the national economy only accounted for one-third of the world, which was greatly reduced compared with the Song and Ming Dynasties. It can be seen that "anti-sense prosperity"

Second, because the social productive forces did not develop greatly in the prosperous period of Kanggan. During the prosperous period of Kanggan, many industrial indicators did not reach the level of the late Ming Dynasty. In fact, the total industrial output in the prosperous period of Kanggan is far less than that in the Wanli period at the end of Ming Dynasty. During the Ming Dynasty, heavy industries such as steel, shipbuilding and construction, as well as light industries such as silk, cotton cloth and porcelain all occupied the leading position in the world, and the industrial output reached more than two thirds of the world, far higher than the proportion of agricultural output in the world.

Then, how much did the total industrial output value of the Qing dynasty account for in the world during the prosperous period of Kanggan?

In fact, this figure is pitifully low. At that time, iron and cloth in Qing Dynasty were inferior to those in late Ming Dynasty, and the total industrial output value was only 6% of the world's. The so-called "sailing against the current, if you don't advance, you will retreat" was still ahead of the world in the Song and Ming Dynasties, but in the "prosperous period of Kang and Gan", the Qing Dynasty gradually began to lag behind the western world in all directions.

Of course, some people say that in the prosperous period of Kanggan, the population of Qing Dynasty increased several times compared with that of Ming Dynasty. But in fact, the population growth in Qing Dynasty was so fast because of the introduction of sweet potato, so some people say that the prosperous time of Kanggan is the prosperous time of sweet potato.
