"In the bright moonlight, wild geese are flying, chief Tatar is fleeing in the dark, and we are chasing them, with horses lightly loaded and bows and swords bearing snow." From these four poems, we can fully see the courage and enterprising spirit of this great man.
The Han dynasty made the country rich and strong through the rule of Wenjing, and then the heroic battle of Emperor Wudi defeated the biggest enemy of the Han dynasty, Xiongnu, and won the greatest living space and development space for the nation. That's why there is the rule of Wenjing and the prosperity of Hanwu.
But in the face of such a prosperous time in the history books, or to be precise, it should be regarded as the prosperous time of emperors. However, in order to maintain the expenses of the war, the whole country has run out of oil and lamps, the people are miserable, and the big families have been looted, let alone promoted the people. Therefore, this prosperous time of Han is not a real prosperous time.
As we all know, Emperor Taizong made great efforts in literature, art and martial arts, which not only unified the whole country, but also swept the Turkish Wang Ting in Mobei. However, one thing is certain. Although the great achievements of emperors recorded in historical books are only a little ink on white paper, the people have to pay thousands of drops of blood for this ink.
There is a poem that says, "Poor riverside bones are still living a dream." Another point that historians have now affirmed is that Li Shimin, Emperor Taizong, especially likes to tamper with history.
In fact, anyone who has seen history knows that it was only a few short years, and then it was quickly destroyed by the Anshi Rebellion. Since then, people have lived in endless smog.
In the words and pictures of the British mission, we can already see that it was a dull, decadent, corrupt and even hungry era. Sure enough, after seeing this weak giant, the British made up their minds to give this arrogant giant a good beating. Finally, all of a sudden, the giant lost all his self-esteem and self-confidence, and this loss of self-esteem has continued until now and has been affecting people today.
So in history, which dynasty was truly prosperous? In fact, it was the Song Dynasty that was once despised by many people. The greatness and prosperity of the Song Dynasty have been underestimated by many people until now. Today we will look at the political, economic, cultural and military level of the Song Dynasty.
First of all, the urbanization progress in Song Dynasty was the highest in China. In the Tang Dynasty, there were only 13 cities with a population of over 65,438+10,000. In the Song Dynasty, nearly 40 such cities were born with a population of over 65,438+10,000.
If you only look at the figures, you don't really feel anything, but anyone who knows a little about history knows that the gap between national strength and productivity can be clearly seen.
To raise so many residents in a city, we must first have a large amount of commodity grain. During the Northern Song Dynasty, the population of Bianliang was already very dense. The population of the inner city and the outer city add up to several million people, and the average person needs about 2000 tons of food every day. During the Southern Song Dynasty, there was a "145,000-meter-high moon" in Lin 'an.
The reason why cities developed so rapidly in Song Dynasty was that the agricultural level in Song Dynasty was more advanced than that in previous historical dynasties. The Song government vigorously promoted high-yield crops, such as Zhancheng rice imported from Vietnam, which had a very high yield and was vigorously promoted by the Song government.
"The Jiangsu, Huaihe and Zhejiang roads were not boarded earlier, but were replaced by Fujian, and the three roads were divided into 30,000 hectares."
In the Song Dynasty, a new farm tool called "treading plough" appeared. This kind of farm tool uses iron knife for the first time, which makes
"Farming is easy, and cows save effort".
During the Southern Song Dynasty, the yield per mu in Jiangnan area has basically reached 290 mu per catty, and the per capita grain gain is 12 14 kg. Therefore, it can be said that almost 30% of the people in the country lived on commodity grain, which is enough to prove the development of agriculture in the Song Dynasty.
Secondly, it can be said that the Song Dynasty was the best period for the welfare of China government. Whether it is the capital of song dynasty in Tokyo or Lin' an in the southern song dynasty, they all insist on distributing winter materials in obvious places in the city during the cold winter to help the poor spend the winter. In the Southern Song Dynasty, Emperor Gaozong also ordered local officials in Lin 'an to take out copper coins and grain from the state treasury and let them distribute them door to door to help the people.
"Everyone pays 200 yuan, the rice is shaken, the service is affordable, and the number of grams cannot be reduced."
At the same time, the Song Dynasty also stipulated that families whose monthly income was less than 150 yuan could be exempted from labor service, which not only ensured that poor families would not go bankrupt because of tax service to a certain extent, but also safeguarded the living space of vulnerable groups to a certain extent.
What makes people relish is the universal medical insurance policy in the Song Dynasty. At that time, many States and counties had welfare pharmacies set up by the government, such as pharmacy, mixture bureau and Taiping Huimin bureau. These government-funded pharmacies not only strictly control the quality of drugs, but also sell them at a much lower price than the market price. During special disasters and plagues, such pharmacies often deliver medicines free of charge, which has won the favor of many people.
It can be said that during the Song Dynasty, natural disasters and wars at that time made plagues and diseases popular in many areas. In the Song Dynasty, the government would send medical officers from Thai hospitals to bring various herbs to the epidemic spots to treat the local people free of charge in time.
"Summer heat, the people lack of medicine, resulting in four medical officers from Hanlin Medical College to visit Lin 'an. "
At that time, the Song Dynasty not only set up a baby bureau to adopt children abandoned by their parents, but also set up a Futian bureau to support the elderly without children. For the dead couple, if they don't want to marry and have children again, they can enter the clean shrine built by the court. Where there are tasks arranged by the state, as long as they are completed, there will be wages to support the elderly and children.
The Song Dynasty not only did a very good job in civil affairs, but now many of our lifestyles are also thanks to the Song Dynasty. Because of the shortage of land, we must encourage people to develop the tertiary industry if we want to get enough tax revenue.
So the curfew system, which has been implemented for more than 1000 years, was completely abolished, and China people's nightlife began. This is also the main reason why the economy of the Song Dynasty was so good. According to Tokyo Dream, there were many large restaurants and laundry rooms in the capital of Song Dynasty. People can not only eat here, but also watch geisha dance and sing. If they read it correctly, they can also make an appointment to write the poem "Suddenly look back, but the man is in the dim light". Because of the start of nightlife, China people began to have a third meal, and supper also appeared.
Therefore, the Song Dynasty was indeed a dynasty where a hundred flowers blossomed and people were happy. No wonder the emperor of the Jin Dynasty regretted being born in a barbarian land, not in the Song Dynasty. If the reason for this is unknown, my heart is a little inky.
