How many prosperous times did China experience in ancient history? How did it decline?
I think the prosperous period mainly refers to the dynasty's strong military diplomacy, clear internal politics, prosperous economy, open mind and advanced technology for a period of time. Since the Qin and Han Dynasties, the famous flourishing age is the Western Han Dynasty? Hanwu Shi Sheng? , the Eastern Han Dynasty? Zhang Ming Shi Sheng? Don? Kaiyuan Shi Sheng? , green? Anti-sense Shi Sheng? Wait a minute.

And the formation and decline of these prosperous times are roughly the same:

The formation of a prosperous era:

One: the rich accumulation and precipitation of the previous dynasty

Taking the prosperous period of Hanwu as the main mode. Before Emperor Wu of the Western Han Dynasty ascended the throne, he had accumulated a lot of manpower and material resources through the recuperation of Emperor Wen and Emperor Jing. At this time, after accumulation, the Han dynasty began to have the strength to burst out. Therefore, after the reform of Emperor Wu of Han Dynasty, the Western Han Dynasty immediately showed its unique strength.

Second, the emperor is active, politically open and assisted by competent ministers.

The three emperors Kangxi, Yongzheng and Qianlong were all active emperors. Maintain the military output of the Qing dynasty and recapture the territory belonging to the Qing dynasty. Actively carry out internal reforms and develop the economy. In order to maintain political stability, measures were taken to divide the Han people. However, there is a danger of backwardness under the prosperous times.

However, Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty appointed virtuous ministers in politics, reformed the official system, and made them contain each other, avoiding the dominance of one family. Reform the army, implement the reclamation system and actively expand the territory. Reform the economy, suppress landlords and tyrants, crack down on Buddhist forces, return a large number of people, and improve the level of economic development. Moreover, during this period, the mind was open and the technology was developed.

The reasons for the decline of prosperous times are basically the same. Those who will bring glory will bring destruction if they go too far.

One: militarism, great consumption of national strength, decline of prosperity.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty made great efforts to conquer the Huns. Years of war consumed a lot of labor in the Han Dynasty, and the fields were barren and the economy was backward. Moreover, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty monopolized industries and businesses such as salt and iron, and the long-term monopoly prevented the development of commercial handicrafts in the Han Dynasty. So, under the war of Emperor Wu of Han Dynasty. The Han dynasty gradually declined.

Second, the emperor craved pleasure, abandoned politics, appointed traitors, made mistakes in decision-making, and induced rebellion.

In the later period of his rule, he indulged in the wine pool and meat forest, neglected the court affairs, and appointed Yang and other traitors, which gradually brought about negative changes in the Tang Dynasty. Policy mistakes and the reuse of An Lushan and other ethnic minorities led to the later Anshi Rebellion. After the Anshi Rebellion, the Tang Dynasty turned from prosperity to decline.

Three: rigid thinking, lack of progress, stagnant development, and gradually falling behind the world.

The rulers of the Qing Dynasty adopted policies such as appeasement, differentiation, ignorance and literary inquisition, which made the whole Qing Dynasty's thoughts gradually rigid, uncreative, backward in science and technology and not open enough. Thus, after Qianlong, the gap between the Qing Dynasty and the world widened, and finally the flourishing age died out.

So I think the history of China came into being? Hanwu? Zhang Ming? Kaiyuan? Kanggan? Wait for the prosperous times. The only reason for their decline is that the country declined because of its strong national strength and belligerence, or that the emperor abandoned politics and bred rebellion, or that the whole country was defeated by other nationalities because of its rigid thinking.

The Qing dynasty failed to sign a peace treaty with the western invaders.

And the process and reason of their decline is also a common problem of past dynasties.
