The situation of Europe in the same historical period as the Qing Dynasty
Europe continued the feudal self-sufficient agricultural natural economy during the Renaissance (14 ~16th century) and the Ming Dynasty (1368- 1644).

2。 Difference: Europe is made up of several independent or semi-independent countries, while China's Ming Dynasty (1368- 1644).

) is unity.

3。 Difference: Europe was ruled by religion, while the Ming Dynasty (1368- 1644) was Confucianism.

4。 The rulers of Europe and Ming Dynasty (1368- 1644) were greedy for pleasure or corruption.

5。 Difference: European elites encourage the development of handicrafts, business and entertainment arts.

In the Ming Dynasty (1368- 1644), in order to stabilize the rule, the tradition of attaching importance to agriculture and neglecting commerce was continued, and merchants were highly mobile.

Not conducive to rule, some businessmen speculate against the country. The premise of China's stable rule is the food problem and the emphasis on agriculture.

It is reasonable to restrict business. The commerce of Ming Dynasty developed spontaneously, but the government did not encourage it. China, really.

The emergence and development of the active bourgeoisie is Cixi's Westernization Movement, which is top-down and has the essence of the Ming Dynasty.

The difference.

6。 In the Ming Dynasty (1368- 1644), it was enough for the rulers to rely on a small number of merchants and handicrafts.

Europe has more rulers (the sum of the ruling classes of several independent and semi-independent countries), handicrafts and commerce.

The display is faster.

7。 An important reason for the Renaissance was that the Ottoman Turkish Empire captured Constantinople and the Eastern Roman Emperor in 1453.

This country is doomed. A large number of talents who were influenced by eastern culture and still retained the spirit of the ancient Roman empire fled to Italy and brought them back.

Many fresh ideas and arts set up schools in Rome to teach Greek, which promoted the formation of the Renaissance.

In the Ming Dynasty (1368- 1644), there was no more advanced culture in the neighboring countries, but the culture in China was the most advanced.

Yes, at that time, there was no direct collision and communication between the East and the West as in the late Qing Dynasty. Some are a few missionaries,

Not enough to arouse the vigilance of the rulers of the Ming Dynasty, and the emperors of the Ming Dynasty were not interested in mathematics and other sciences like Kangxi.

Yao is even more concerned. The Ming Dynasty still followed the pattern of feudal society in China.

8。 Renaissance works embody humanism: advocating personality liberation and opposing the Middle Ages.

Asceticism and religious views; Advocate scientific culture, oppose obscurantism, and get rid of the shackles of the church on people's thoughts;

Affirm human rights, oppose theocracy, and abandon all authority and traditional dogma as the basis of theology and scholasticism; support

Centralization and opposition to feudal separatism are the main ideas of humanism.

The Ming Dynasty (1368- 1644) was bound by Confucianism, and the imperial examination replaced Neo-Confucianism with four books and five classics.

Therefore, the science and thought of the Ming Dynasty were not encouraged and liberated as in Europe, but were restricted.

9。 Copernicus, a Polish astronomer, published the theory of celestial bodies in 1543.

In 159 1, the French mathematician Veda published an Introduction to Analytical Methods.

Utopia, written in Latin by Thomas Moore of England in 15 16, is the first work of utopian socialism.

Ironically, our papermaking, compass, gunpowder (the four great inventions of China) and printing have all been promoted.

The rapid spread of western scientific ideas.

There has been a revolutionary leap in navigation technology, and the geographical discoveries of Columbus and Magellan have made great contributions to the earth.

The theory of circle provides strong evidence.

The real reason of Zheng He's voyage to the West;

We also had Zheng He's voyages to the Western Seas with various purposes, namely, 1, to enhance the prestige of the Ming Dynasty, and 2, to look for the Emperor Wen Jian.

3. Open up maritime trade routes to Europe and develop and expand overseas trade. 4. Achieve a unified peace at home and abroad.

Prosperous times. Under the guidance of this grand goal, Zheng He sent overseas countries according to the wishes of Judy, the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty, to realize

We have made unremitting efforts to pursue the ideal of "great harmony" and "harmony" in the world.

But the above answer basically can't stand scrutiny. For example, why didn't the Ming Dynasty go to sea later? Zheng He went to the Western Ocean.

Or colonized? Why was Zheng He's record destroyed by the Ming Dynasty itself? The real reason is that the Ming Dynasty came back.

The Hui nationality was founded by this minority, which has been proved by several experts. Zheng He is also a Hui nationality. Yongle emperor school

Returning to Zheng He's seven trips to South Asia is the reason why Ming Chengzu wanted to trace the migration history of his ancestors in Arabia.

The spread of Islam also explains why Zheng He's records were destroyed by the Ming Dynasty itself, for fear that outsiders would know.

The royal family returned to this minority, and at that time, after the hierarchical system of the Yuan Dynasty, the Han people were more disgusted with foreigners.

. The reason why China was put forward by Zhou Youguang, the old man, and others avoided it without textual research is even greater.

The bloodline theory of foreign emperors is afraid that the fragile self-esteem of some Han people will be hit too hard.

10。 Significance of Renaissance: For a long time, Renaissance was regarded as a simple restoration of classical culture.

In fact, the Renaissance did not really want to "restore" classical culture, but to attack the culture and system at that time.

Degree, to establish a new culture, to create public opinion for the establishment of a new social system.

Renaissance is a period of gradual development, with no clear dividing line and events. But the Renaissance created time.

People's thoughts have changed, leading to religious reform and fierce religious war. Later Enlightenment was based on literature and art..

Resurrect yourself as an example. /kloc-historians in the 0 th and 9 th centuries believe that later scientific development, geographical discovery and nation-state

The birth of the family originated in the Renaissance. The Renaissance is a watershed between the Middle Ages and the Modern Times in the "Dark Age".

It is the public opinion premise of bourgeois revolution. Renaissance is to liberate Europe from the shackles of decadent feudal religions and go to the whole world.

A prelude to world expansion.

Its main performance is as follows:

1, Renaissance is a great change in the field of ideology and culture, with strong vitality.

Modern science came into being, which promoted the progress of human science and civilization.

In a word, it is lucky to have a Renaissance in the west, but there were no internal and external factors that produced the Renaissance in the Ming Dynasty.

Conditions, because of the Confucian culture of the Ming dynasty, because of the imperial examination, the imperial examination is nothing more than Confucianism. Therefore, Confucianism

Culture is an important reason for China's backwardness. Also, there are no culturally developed countries around the Ming Dynasty, which is all the fault of the Ming Dynasty.

Too advanced, but also because the Ming Dynasty is vast and rich in resources. It lacks everything and has no motivation.

In other words, China fell behind the West in the early Ming Dynasty (1368- 1644), and it only started in the middle and late Ming Dynasty.

After that, the Qing dynasty was even more backward, because the west was developing by leaps and bounds, while we were making progress, but it was very slow.

Slow crawling, the gap between the two is getting bigger and bigger, until today.

The so-called thirty years in Hedong, thirty years in Hexi. I hope we can lead again one day, but we can see that today's academic circles

Corruption and basic education, I really can't see the hope of surpassing the West. Now some people are very rich, even

Even richer than Europeans, but this is a minority, and some places are similar to Africa. The most important thing is science.

Technology and education are fundamental. How can we develop faster?
