Five Great Prosperities in China

Five Prosperities in China's History

In the long feudal history of more than 2,000 years in China, there have been several best historical periods, which are called "prosperous times". For example, the "rule of Wenjing" in the Western Han Dynasty reached its peak in the Han Dynasty, the "rule of Zhenguan" in the Tang Dynasty reached its peak in Kaiyuan, and the "rule of Yongxuan" in the Ming Dynasty was called "Kang Yong's Prosperity" in the Qing Dynasty, and there was also a little-known "Warring States Prosperity". Among them, people often named it "Kaiyuan Shi Sheng" and "Kanggan Shi Sheng".

After the chaos of the previous generation, the Five Prosperous Times was promoted to the peak in the rising period of the emerging dynasty. The Western Han Dynasty rebuilt a feudal dynasty on the ruins of the Qin Dynasty, and it reached its peak after 170 years of "recuperation". The prosperity of the Tang Dynasty was formed after the chaos at the end of Sui Dynasty. In the meantime, it has experienced a tortuous road of nearly a hundred years. The Ming Dynasty expelled the rulers of the Yuan Dynasty from the Great Wall and unified the whole country. After half a century's efforts, it has finally created a prosperous era, that is, "the rule of eternal propaganda." From the beginning of Shenzong in the middle of Wanli, chaos has been there, from Xizong to Chongzhen, which eventually led to chaos. Before the Qing army entered the customs, it was chaotic for about half a century. The Qing army entered the Central Plains and wiped out two peasant armies, Li Zicheng and Zhang. It took nearly 20 years to wipe out the forces of Nanming. The Qing Dynasty established another dynasty on the basis of the chaos in the late Ming Dynasty. After nearly 70 years, it finally turned from chaos to positive. There was something special in the Warring States period. At first glance, the seven countries coexist and are in chaos. In fact, it is a new political pattern formed after the long-term merger of the Spring and Autumn Period. Countries remained relatively stable for a long time, and finally the Qin Dynasty was unified and reached the peak of the Great Branch.

All prosperous times have a common feature: national unity, economic prosperity, political stability, long-term social stability, strong national strength and cultural prosperity.
