Why did Li Zicheng of the peasant class rise in the Ming Dynasty, not the bourgeoisie?
There will be no bourgeois revolutionary struggle in the Ming Dynasty. Eight-part essay was popular in Ming dynasty for one or two hundred years, which made people's thoughts never improve. They have always advocated the enfeoffment system. Although some literati and some places have sprouted capitalism, the stubbornness of national conservatives and the strength of the national government will soon suppress and destroy the insurgents. Moreover, capitalist ideology has not yet spread, and people are still bound by the feudal thought of eight-part essay. At that time, people only thought that they could make peace if they didn't have enough to eat and sleep well. Corruption in Li Zicheng also led to failure. As for Zhang, although he carried out a series of reforms, he did not have any capitalist ideas. Moreover, the reform triggered the fundamental interests of the nobility, which simply did not work. He was sick himself, so he died.
