Historical trend is the overall historical orientation of different or even opposite decisions made by countless different people. A single person in history, no matter how wise and far-sighted, can't make a clear judgment on the trend of history.

"The wind knows the grass, and the board swings to know the sincerity of the minister." Adversity is often the best way to see a person's value.

First, in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, anti-Qing was also a trend of people with lofty ideals in China.

"Arise and help ZongGuo generously, or die alone for the king? After two hundred years of grievances, Zhu Shen' s remnants are still there. "

This is a poem praising Zhang Huangyan by later generations.

For those Han heroes who are unwilling to sink into the land, they fought against Manchu for their homeland, country, nation and Chinese culture. This is an epic trend in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties. Perhaps this trend is only a trickle, but it is precisely because of this that it is rare and valuable.

"The wind knows the grass is strong, and the board swings to know the sincerity." This sentence of Emperor Taizong is even more valuable for contrarian figures at this time.

It is hard to say that all living beings understand current events and conform to the historical trend. They just follow the trend more, so those heroes who go against the trend are the real husbands.

Knowing what not to do is not all stubborn, advancing with the times, nor all courageous people.

At the beginning of the Qing Dynasty, those who knew the times were traitors and scum, and those who dared to resist were the real heroes.

Second, it is not appropriate to use the Qing dynasty as a substitute for the Ming dynasty in historical trends.

The historical trend is vast, those who follow it survive, and those who go against it die.

We must first understand what is the historical trend.

It's hard to explain. In the abstract, it is a force that conforms to social development and the interests of the broad masses of people.

To put it more bluntly, it is a historical trend that feudalism replaces slavery and capitalism replaces feudalism.

It is also a historical trend for the decadent Ming Dynasty to perish, but it is not a historical trend to be replaced by the Qing Dynasty after its demise. The Qing Dynasty was only the party that finally won the victory after the demise of the Ming Dynasty.

If the Ming Dynasty is old, the Qing Dynasty is not new.

That's just a temporary form.

Not all losers are inevitable, and losers are worthy of respect.
