The first five dynasties with the largest territory in China were Yuan Dynasty, Tang Dynasty, Ming Dynasty, Han Dynasty and Qin Dynasty.

1, Yuan Dynasty

Ranked first is the Yuan Dynasty, with a territory of13.72 million square kilometers. In the Yuan Dynasty, Mongols were in power. Mongolians have lived on horseback since childhood, most of them are good at riding and shooting, and they are proud of their bravery. Therefore, it is also quite brave to fight. The territory laid by the Yuan Dynasty was the largest in China since ancient times. However, if the territory is large, it is difficult to manage. The empire of the Yuan Dynasty began to decline in less than a hundred years.

2. Tang Dynasty

The second place is the Tang Dynasty, with a territory area of 6.5438+0.237 million square kilometers. As a well-developed dynasty in China, the land area of the Tang Dynasty also expanded unprecedentedly. Not only did it control Monan, Mobei and the Western Regions, but many other countries volunteered to become vassals.

3. Ming dynasty

The third place is the Ming Dynasty, but its land area reached1233,800 square kilometers in its heyday. The Ming Dynasty is said to be the most difficult dynasty, which did not cede territory, kiss, pay reparations or surrender. It was the first dynasty in history that incorporated Taiwan Province Province into China for 276 years.

4. Han dynasty

The fourth place is the Han Dynasty, with a land area of more than 6 million square kilometers. This dynasty was also a country with unprecedented development in ancient China. On the map, there were fewer East Vietnam, South Vietnam and Hetao in the early Han Dynasty than in the Qin Dynasty. But by the time of Emperor Wudi, the emperor was belligerent, and the territory of the Han Dynasty was counterattacked, which was more than twice that of the Qin Dynasty.

5. Qin dynasty

Ranked fifth is the Qin Dynasty, with a land area of 3.4 million square kilometers. The Qin Dynasty destroyed six countries and unified the whole country. The first unified multi-ethnic country in history is the embryonic form of our country, and its significance is unparalleled. Although the Qin dynasty lived for a short time and was far from prosperous, on the map, it crushed the former small country and became the largest empire in the world for a time, which was of great significance.
