But the best should be the Song Dynasty.

Throughout the history of China, the change of dynasties-being emperor for someone-cost millions of lives. Manchu entered the customs, and on the 10th day of Yangzhou, there were three butchers in Jiading, and more than one million people died. Xing, people suffer, forget, people suffer. Even several wise emperors in China's history had blood on their hands. For example, Emperor Wendi of Sui also killed the former royal family, leaving only a pro-Turkic princess. The princess was sad. He forced Turk Khan to kill his wife. Emperor Taizong killed two brothers who seized power and their descendants. Wu Zetian's throne was obtained from his son in a peaceful way, and he still sacrificed many ministers and relatives who supported Li Tang. Even the heroes of the new dynasty came to no good end. A dead rabbit cooks and a dead dog hides. As far away as Han Xin, Ming Taizu wiped out almost all the heroes. The political struggle between the imperial court and the imperial court is also bloody.

The Song Dynasty was a rare exception in the history of China, which was due to the kindness of their founding emperor, Song Taizu Zhao Kuangyin. Taizu's yellow robe was added to replace the later Zhou Dynasty, and he did not kill the descendants of the dragons for fear of their restoration. He also took the stone as an alliance and asked the new heir to abide by the following vows:

Preserve Chai's descendants. If you are guilty, you may not be punished. If you commit rebellion, you will stop in prison. You may not be slaughtered in the city, and you may not even sit down. ""If you don't kill a scholar-bureaucrat, you will sue someone "; Children and grandchildren have this oath, and the sky will fall. "

Zhao Kuangyin should be regarded as a man of his word, and he can be polite to the surrendered king of national subjugation. When I was young, I kept my promise to send Jingniang a thousand miles. Later, I kept my oath to my mother and passed the throne to my younger brother, not my son. His descendants basically did not violate the above vows. Therefore, the status of scholar-officials in the Song Dynasty was quite high, and the emperor did not centralize power and practiced enlightened politics. Kou Zhun and Bao Zheng, famous officials and sages in history, were able to keep high positions and die well. Even after Wang Anshi's political reform, he was political sworn enemies with Sima Guang and Su Shi. However, whether Wang Anshi worships the Prime Minister or Sima Guang is in power, at best, he retreats to the other side, not kills it. The Song Dynasty was the most dignified period for intellectuals in China. It is also a society in which China intellectuals have political ideals, cultural innovation, moral pursuit and guaranteed life. Accordingly, Zhu Yuanzhang, the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty, and his son Judy were cruel to scholars who disagreed slightly. They also set up a special agency, the East Factory and the West Factory, to monitor the literati, preferring to trust eunuchs rather than take advice, and all the loyal ministers and righteous men of the Ming Dynasty came to a miserable end. Wen Tianxiang and Lu were willing to die generously for the Southern Song Dynasty, while the civil servants of the Ming Dynasty surrendered to the Qing Dynasty.

Strangely, people in China now prefer to praise the Qing Dynasty and the Yuan Dynasty, rather than mentioning the slaughter, tyranny and racial discrimination in the Song and Yuan Dynasties, so I won't mention it here. In short, it is by no means the pride of the Chinese nation. As for the Qing Dynasty, there were several emperors with promising prospects, but at that time it was only a reflection of a backward and decadent system. The whole Qing Dynasty did not bring anything advanced to China, but made China go backwards. If ministers call themselves slaves, the Ming Dynasty still calls themselves ministers.

The territory of the Song Dynasty was small, not comparable to that of the Qing and Yuan Dynasties. This dynasty was an era when imperial power was weak, people's life was the richest, politics was the most advanced, and few people were convicted of words in history. Even in the prosperous Tang dynasty, it can't be compared.

There is also an enlightened historical period in the history of China, the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, which was unfortunately replaced by the tyrannical Qin Dynasty.
