From the perspective of world history, the world is a history of the rise of great powers, especially from the perspective of the West. From the earliest Alexander Empire, Roman Empire, Byzantine Empire, Arabian Empire, etc. , to modern Portugal and Spain, and later to the British Empire, the French Empire, the German Empire, etc ... It can be said that there are countless powerful countries.

But when we analyze the prosperity of these empires, we can find that they will not work for 200 years, especially for empires like Britain, France and Germany, and some of them will not work before 200 years. On the other hand, China has been strong for 5,000 years. Why? Why did the western powers and powers decline after 200 years of prosperity, while China was able to prosper for 5,000 years? Actually, there are three main reasons.

Recently, many western experts have been studying the above problems, and they have come to the conclusion that the rise of China is not terrible. But the most terrible thing is that our country can be strong for five thousand years, which they can't understand. China has been the most powerful country in the world since the Xia Dynasty. Even if there have been regime changes, wars and wars, as long as they are unified, they will be powerful countries and the strongest in the world.

And most importantly, this prosperity is a continuation of the same nation and culture. Unlike the western powers, each one was founded by different nationalities, and there is no inheritance at all, and it is also the easiest to be eliminated and weakened. Compared with China, it is hardly an empire, but what is the secret of China's prosperity, or why? Actually, it's mainly three o'clock.

First, the basic conditions are too good.

The reason why our country can be strong for five thousand years can be said that the most basic thing is that our country won at the starting line. Our ancestors occupied the most fertile land in Eurasia, the Yangtze River and Yellow River basins. On this basis, the most fertile land around it was included, forming a stable rule. Like a cornucopia, this best and most fertile land is suitable for cultivation, survival, abundant rainfall and stable production and reproduction, which is the foundation of China's national strength from ancient times to the present.

Europe and the west are different. The land occupied by the western empire is not only extremely scattered, but also has many useless places, such as North Africa, the Middle East and many other areas, which are actually no man's land. Even the land occupied by European powers is not bad, but it is too small. Compared with China, there is no comparison. Therefore, the most basic secret of China's prosperity is to occupy the best land in the world, which is the core.

Second, the most powerful cultural heritage.

With land, there must be a strong civilization inheritance. From the perspective of Europe and the world, many advanced civilizations, such as Roman civilization, Egyptian civilization and other European civilizations, were directly cut off for various reasons in the process of communication. Civilization and race can't be passed down, so the empires established later are all varied.

China, on the other hand, is different. Chinese civilization is the most centripetal, inclusive and attractive civilization in the world. In the 5,000-year history, we have continuously absorbed other civilizations, strengthened ourselves, sublimated ourselves and passed on the core civilization. Isn't it strange that under the inheritance of this culture, plus fertile land, it can't be strong?

Third, hard work and wisdom.

Judging from the powerful password of the country, the core point is wisdom and hard work, which is the basis of creating wealth. Our country not only has the best land and the most advanced civilization, but also inherits the wisdom, diligence and courage of our ancestors. Therefore, whenever a nation-state exists in our country, we will work hard and create wealth with wisdom, and we are not afraid of any difficulties and wars. Therefore, as long as the country is stable, the whole country will become a battlefield for wealth creation and hard struggle, and the strength will gather rapidly, which is also the foundation of China's prosperity for 5,000 years.

And this, the west that is incomparable. Therefore, a powerful country in Europe or the West can only seize an opportunity to become strong. Once the opportunity is gone, it will soon decline. The strength of our country is that we have mastered the most basic land, population, diligence and wisdom, which can't be overcome by any force, and this is also the foundation for the prosperity of our country and nation for 5 thousand years.
