Which dynasty do you think is the strongest in the history of China?
I think the following four dynasties can all be called peaks.

1. The peak of the economy was the Song Dynasty. 2. The highest political peak is the Tang Dynasty. The peak of culture is the Han Dynasty. The military peak is Ming Dynasty.

This does not include the dynasties above the Han Dynasty. The deepest moment of culture should be the Spring and Autumn Period, not to mention Confucius and Laozi.

In fact, on the whole, the peak of China's ancient politics, economy, culture and military affairs was the Qin Dynasty.

Of course, these are too far away, and the average person's understanding of the Qin Dynasty is limited to Qin Shihuang and the Great Wall.

So let's start with the Han Dynasty. Why is the deepest culture in the Han Dynasty, mainly the opening of the Silk Road, which once spread Chinese civilization to the West?

The Song Dynasty was actually not a complete China at that time. In fact, many territories were not unified, but the Song Dynasty alone accounted for more than 80% of the global economic aggregate at that time, which was the highest record.

The Tang dynasty, in fact, can also be said to be the peak of the economy, but not as good as the Song dynasty. The Tang Dynasty reached its political peak mainly because Li Shimin, Emperor Taizong, was well versed in politics, so the Tang Dynasty opened its political peak after Li Shimin. The representative of the highest economic peak in the Tang Dynasty was Chang 'an City, which was the imperial capital of the Tang Dynasty at that time. Chang 'an was the only city in the world at that time and the first city with a population of one million. In other words, it is the first one in the world that can be called. City? This place. Of course, this was later defeated by the global economic aggregate of the Song Dynasty.

However, the Ming Dynasty was the strongest and largest military era in China's history. It has been 276 years since the establishment of the Ming Dynasty. It can be said that during these two hundred years, the Ming Dynasty was at war all the time. Firearms were developed in Ming dynasty, and the arms of infantry and musketeers were highly coordinated. Even foreign wars have been defeated, such as Portugal, Britain and France, and Toyotomi Hideyoshi from Japan on the Korean Peninsula.
