Qin Dynasty-Han Dynasty-Sui and Tang Dynasties-Song Dynasty-Yuan Dynasty-Ming and Qing Dynasties

Establish, consolidate, improve, strengthen and strengthen the peak.

Centralized autocracy

↓ ↓

Solve the contradiction between the central and local governments ←|→ Solve the contradiction between monarchical power and relative power.

Maintaining national unity has both positive and negative effects on strengthening autocracy.

Development trend: continuous strengthening, from centralization to autocracy

Second, division and unity.

1, the reason for the split

(1) Decentralization of feudal natural economy. (dominant)

(2) The weakening of authoritarian rule and the expansion of local separatist forces. (Political corruption)

(3) The struggle for power and interests within the feudal ruling group. (Intensify contradictions)

(4) Contradictions and struggles between the ruling classes of all ethnic groups.

2. Reasons for unification

Unification is an inevitable trend of historical development, and the reasons are as follows:

(1) Since the Qin and Han Dynasties, the establishment and development of centralization has effectively consolidated the unity of multi-ethnic countries.

⑵ From the ideological point of view, the Chinese nation produced a unified ideological requirement very early, which was developed into a "great unity" thought by Confucianism and became the ideological source of the strong cohesion of the Chinese nation.

(3) Ethnic integration has enhanced the cohesion between ethnic groups.

(4) The strong attraction of the advanced economy and culture of the Han nationality in the Central Plains makes ethnic minorities yearn for the Central Plains. (conquered)

3. Assessment:

(1) Division is a tributary of historical development and is in a short-lived and secondary position.

(1) In terms of time, the division of feudal society did not exceed several hundred years.

(2) From the perspective of dynasties, important dynasties are unified dynasties, which have great and far-reaching influence.

(3) From the period of division, division breeds unity and local unity appears.

(2) Division and reunification should be analyzed in detail, especially ethnic division cannot be generalized and simply denied.

⑶ Unification is the mainstream of historical development and occupies a major position. We should fully affirm the historical and progressive role of national reunification.

Third, the rise and fall of chaos.

1, the cause of ruling the world

(1) The ruling class adjusted its ruling policy.

After a long period of war, division and the establishment of a new dynasty, the rulers generally realized the power of the people, learned the lessons from the demise of the previous dynasty, adjusted their ruling policies, strengthened centralization in politics, and adopted the policy of self-cultivation and family harmony in economy, which led to the rapid development of social economy and the situation of governing the world.

(2) Under the unified situation, the political situation is stable, the politics is clear and the economy is prosperous. (Kaiyuan Shi Sheng)

(3) After experiencing a serious social crisis, after reform and adjustment, ZTE emerged. (Guangwu Zhongxing)

(4) Enlightened ethnic policies enable all ethnic groups to live in harmony and have friendly exchanges. (Zhenguan rule)

5] The hard work of the broad masses of working people.

2. Causes of troubled times

(1) rules darkness and decay. For example, the emperor ignored political affairs and reused treacherous court officials and eunuchs, resulting in the phenomenon that consorts or eunuchs were authoritarian. (Han, Tang, Ming)

(2) contradictions within the ruling class have intensified. (or the contradiction between the central and local governments intensifies)

The weakening of centralization and the expansion of local separatist forces. For example: Eastern Han Dynasty, Late Tang Dynasty

The ruling class struggles for power and profits, and contradictions intensify. For example: Western Jin Dynasty

(3) The role of the peasant war. A large amount of land was annexed by landlords, which led to peasant exile and peasant uprising.

(4) Natural disasters.

Step 3 understand

(1) affirmed its progressive role in managing the world, but we should also see that the status of all classes has not fundamentally changed, and the basic social contradictions between the peasant class and the landlord class have not changed. It is the exploitation of farmers by the ruling class that allows society to manage the world.

⑵ Turbulent times affect social and economic development and do great harm to people's lives. But:

People of all ethnic groups in troubled times live together and struggle with each other, which is conducive to national integration.

(2) In the local unified areas, the rulers should strengthen economic recovery and development for their own survival, which is conducive to the development of local economy.

(3) To analyze specific problems.

Although the Seven Kingdoms Rebellion and the Anshi Rebellion were both rebellions, the results were different. After the rebellion of the seven countries, centralization was strengthened; After the Anshi Rebellion, centralization was weakened.

Four. Adjustment and reform

1, same point

(1) The background is the same. They all happened after the large-scale peasant war that overthrew the former dynasty, and the rulers all learned the lessons of the demise of the former dynasty and realized the power of the people.

(2) the purpose is the same. They are all aimed at restoring and developing social economy and consolidating feudal autocratic rule.

2. Measures (same and different)

(1) Economy:

(1) Liberate the productive forces.

Before liberation, the workers themselves and the release of handmaiden; Later-relax personal attachment,

(2) Reduce the people's burden-from fifteen taxes to thirty taxes.

③ Close integration of people and places to resettle refugees and rename fields.

(2) politics:

(1) Restrain rulers, live frugally and clarify bureaucracy (Sui Wendi, Emperor Taizong, Ming Taizu).

(2) Lighten punishment and ease class contradictions.

③ Strengthen centralization and solve internal contradictions.

Step 3 evaluate

(1) After adjustment or reform, from the economic point of view, it promoted the recovery and development of production, made the national strength prosperous (different dynasties had different degrees of prosperity, but the Eastern Han Dynasty was poor), and there were many examples of running the world.

⑵ Politically, after adjustment or reform, the ruling order can be stabilized, social stability can be guaranteed, the feudal ruling system can be improved, and the development of feudal society can be promoted.

(3) Culturally, political stability and economic prosperity will promote the prosperity and development of culture.

4. Successive reforms

(1) Guanzhong reform-the reform of Qiang Bing, a rich country in slave society.

(2) Shang Yang Reform-feudal reform of the landlord class.

⑶ Wang Anshi's political reform-a reform to adjust the ruling policy of feudal society.

5. Control, adjustment and reform of the relationship between autocratic centralization, division and unity, and ups and downs.

(1) The strengthening, adjustment and reform of centralization are closely related to the split and unification and the rise and fall of chaos control. Understanding in contact: the chaotic times during the separatist regime indicate that the reform or adjustment was unsuccessful; The unsuccessful reform led to division and chaos. The period of reunification is mostly prosperous, which shows that the reform or adjustment is successful; On the other hand, successful reforms have promoted the emergence of unity and prosperity.

(2) Adjustment and reform, division and unity, and the rise and fall of chaos control are closely related to the strengthening and weakening of centralization.

(3) Reflect the reaction of the superstructure to the economic base.

Sixth, political thought.

1, Legalist thought of rule of law

(1) Legalist thought conforms to the historical development trend from division to unity, and embodies the need to establish authoritarian centralization.

⑵ Legalists put forward a historical view with development and evolution factors, which reflected the enterprising spirit of the new landlord class in reforming the old system.

(3) Legalism is conducive to the unity of the country and the establishment of feudal system, and centralized absolutism has been followed by later generations for more than 2,000 years.

(4) Legalists advocate severe punishment and severe law, which is not conducive to long-term stability. In addition, the abuse of people's power by the rulers was beyond the tolerance of the peasant class, which intensified class contradictions and led to the demise of Qin Ershi.

2. Taoist thought of "governing by doing nothing"

Practice has proved that the Taoist thought of "governing by doing nothing" is a loose policy implemented by the ruling class.

(1) adapted to the needs of the society at that time, played a role in promoting the recovery and development of production, and appeared the phenomenon of dominating the world. After the Qin and Han Dynasties, whenever the world was in chaos and the people were in poverty, the rulers often adopted the policy of "land to the tiller"-the Taoist strategy of governing the country. Such as Han, Tang and Ming dynasties.

⑵ After social stability and production development, the Taoist thought of "governing by doing nothing" can no longer adapt to the political and economic development. For example, in the Han Dynasty, the problem of kingdom and Xiongnu appeared when "ruling by cultural scenery", and the political thought of the Western Han Dynasty changed from inaction to promising, from Taoism to Confucianism.

3. Confucian thought of "great unification"

Confucius' Benevolence and Rule by Virtue → Mencius' Benevolence and Respect for the People → Dong Zhongshu's Thought of "Great Unity"

Confucianism had a great influence on the feudal society in China. Objectively, it is conducive to the strengthening of centralization and the consolidation of the country; Conducive to easing class contradictions and social stability; Conducive to the long-term stability of feudal society. Since then, Confucianism has gradually become the dominant orthodoxy in feudal society.

4. The development trend of political (ruling) thought.

A hundred schools of thought contend → one dominant family (Qin) → Confucianism alone.

5, the ruler's ideological control

(1) The Qin Dynasty burned books and buried Confucianism, and the Western Han Dynasty ousted hundreds of schools, which only respected Confucianism; Stereotyped writing took office in the Ming Dynasty; Qing dynasty literary inquisition.

(2) Using religion (after the Western Han Dynasty, the rulers used religion to strengthen ideological control)

Step 2 get in touch with politics

The economic policies of past dynasties are all adjustments to the relations of production in rural areas. When this adjustment adapts to the productivity level at that time, it will promote the development of productivity and promote economic development; Promote social progress. On the contrary, it will hinder economic development and social progress.

Verb (abbreviation of verb) China's ancient policy of emphasizing agriculture and restraining commerce.

Evaluation:

① In the early feudal society, the policy of emphasizing agriculture and restraining business played a positive role in the development of agriculture, social economy and the consolidation of the emerging landlord class regime.

(2) At the end of feudal society, after the development of productive forces, the active commodity economy and the emergence of capitalism, adhering to the policy of emphasizing agriculture and restraining commerce and opposing the development of commerce and agriculture violated the law of economic development and hindered economic development.

It is the people of all ethnic groups who have created the culture of the Chinese nation and jointly developed the motherland. People of all ethnic groups learn from each other, communicate with each other, cooperate with each other and integrate with each other, forming an inseparable whole.

Fourth, the general situation of national integration.

1, the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period is the initial development period of ethnic integration in China. The war of annexation strengthened the relationship between Huaxia nationality and the surrounding ethnic minorities and promoted national integration.

2. The Qin and Han Dynasties were the period of the establishment and development of a unified multi-ethnic country in China. Within the scope of a unified country, all ethnic groups have exchanged more fully, and the economy and culture have further developed, forming the Han nationality. The relationship between the Northern Qin and Xiongnu, the Southern Qin and Yue, the Western Qin and the nationalities in the western regions and the development of the southwest region have strengthened the political and economic ties between the Central Plains and ethnic minorities.
