Among them, there are only three prosperous times that really affect future generations: the rule of Kawachinoayanofumi scenery, the rule of Zhenguan in Tang Dynasty, and the prosperous time of Kanggan in Qing Dynasty.
1. The rule of Wenjing. The heyday of the rule of Emperor Wendi and Emperor Jingdi. People-oriented thought is mainly embodied in many social policies of leniency and benefiting the people under the influence of Huang Lao's thought. In order to improve the people's enthusiasm for production and operation, Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty ordered to waive half of the land rent, from "fifteen taxes and one tax" in the early Han Dynasty to "thirty taxes and one tax", and later exempted farmers from land rent. Emperor Wen not only reduced taxes, but also adopted certain policies to improve the lives of the people at the bottom of society. According to Zi Jian, in the year when Emperor Wen ascended the throne, he gave financial assistance to the lonely, widowed and poor people and gave rice, meat and wine to the elderly over 80 years old every month.
2. The principle of chastity. It refers to the 23-year prosperous period of the reign of Emperor Taizong and Li Shimin. Drawing lessons from the previous dynasties, Emperor Taizong implemented an enlightened people-oriented policy, attached importance to talents, knew people well, and listened to opinions. In the early years of Zhenguan, on the one hand, Emperor Taizong reduced the number of central officials from 2,000 to 600, on the other hand, he issued a number of letters to seek, discover and use talents in various forms. Most importantly, Emperor Taizong attached importance to the people's role in the country. According to Zhenguan politicians, Emperor Taizong once emphasized to courtiers that "the country is people-oriented". At that time, the famous courtier Ma Zhou also pointed out that "those who govern the world should be people-oriented". These views are of great progressive significance and effectively alleviate class contradictions. It is also manifested in: unprecedented social stability, with only 29 prisoners sentenced to death a year; Because of the open borders, the Tang Dynasty was the most civilized and powerful country in the world at that time. Foreigners in China enjoy the same civil rights as people in China. They can not only make a fortune, but also be an official in politics. The Tang Dynasty during the Zhenguan period was the only dynasty in China's history without corruption. This is perhaps Li Shimin's most noteworthy achievement. A preliminary attempt at decentralization. The central government agencies in China feudal society implemented the system of "three provinces and six departments", but the decentralization among the three provinces in Zhenguan period initially reflected the modern political characteristics ―― the principle of decentralization. This political operation is very similar to the "separation of powers" system in modern democratic countries. The theory of separation of powers, which arose in the west17th century, was applied to China's political system by Li Shimin as early as 1000 years ago, which showed how high the civilization level of Zhenguan dynasty was. Highly developed business. Zhenguan Dynasty was the only feudal dynasty that did not discriminate against commerce, and the capitals Chang 'an and Luoyang were cosmopolitan cities. The "Silk Road" of world civilization is the link connecting the eastern and western material civilizations and has become the golden corridor of the whole world.
3. kanggan is prosperous. This was the heyday of China during the reign of Kangxi, Yongzheng and Qianlong in the Qing Dynasty. The key to prosperity lies in an enlightened employment system. On the one hand, two million Manchu people entered the Central Plains, unified the country and won a prosperous time. On the one hand, it is because of its superb ruling skills and political wisdom, but it is crucial that Manchu people can actively break down ethnic barriers and reuse Han people in an eclectic way, thus winning the support and recognition of Han bureaucrats and literati groups. For example, Hong Chengchou, the minister of the Ministry of War of the Ming Dynasty and the governor of Hebei and Liao, was entrusted with an important task by the Qing court after the defeat. Hong Chengchou put forward many suggestions on governing the country and keeping the country safe, and recruited a group of Ming generals and ministers to serve the Qing Dynasty, which made great contributions to the rapid reunification of the country and the consolidation of the emerging political power. After Hong Chengchou returned to Beijing for meritorious service, the emperor gave a special banquet, giving him big embroidered robes, boots and socks, and the queen mother gave a special banquet. After his death, the Qing court "took the headstrong as an example and made a statement of" xianggong ",and praised him as a" virtuous minister ". Feudal society seldom reused former ministers. It is also reflected in the development of various industries. At that time, through measures, China's handicraft output value accounted for 30% of the world's industrial and handicraft output value. The sustainable development of agricultural production is manifested in the large-scale reclamation of wasteland and the expansion of cultivated land area. In fact, it caused an unprecedented population explosion, and the population increased from 654.38+0 billion to 360 million, which seriously restricted the industrialization process. The Qing Dynasty completed a series of large-scale cultural projects: ancient and modern book integration and Si Ku Quan Shu.
