Why didn't there be an industrial revolution and a scientific revolution in China?

Turning over the title page of China's ancient history for thousands of years, Confucianism, as the main carrier of China culture, first came into people's eyes. Confucianism advocated by Dong Zhongshu, a famous Confucian master, thinker and philosopher in the Western Han Dynasty? Recall a hundred schools and respect Confucianism alone? 、? Three cardinal guides and five permanent members? And then what? Great unification? It produced far-reaching thoughts in later generations, which almost influenced the historical process of more than 7,000 years after China.

Judging from the situation at that time, these theories put forward by Dong Zhongshu must contribute to social stability and development. But judging from the current development, it is the personality of independent people, that is, the creative spirit of people. In addition, for thousands of years, the conservative rules of China's small-scale peasant economy thought, which is mainly based on agricultural self-sufficiency, have infiltrated and fermented the traditional way of thinking, seriously bound people's thinking and hindered the innovation of potential consciousness.

When human history developed to18th century, that is, the first industrial revolution started in western countries 1759. In other words, capitalist production has completed the transition from handicraft industry in the factory to mechanical woodworking industry. The industrial revolution is a production and scientific and technological revolution in which machines replace manpower and large-scale industrialization replaces manual production in individual factories. Since then, developed countries have experienced two industrial revolutions. In other words, when the third industrial revolution happened, the world had entered a more advanced era of scientific and technological revolution. In the 1990s, major breakthroughs were made in the fields of atomic energy, computer, electronic technology, aerospace technology, molecular biology and genetic engineering, which was the great crystallization of human wisdom.

What was my Qing empire doing when I was catching up with western countries and the first industrial revolution arose? During this period, the Qing government was ruled by three emperors: Qianlong, Jiaqing and Daoguang. During this period, the Qing emperor was a small-scale peasant economic society that locked up the country, built a literary inquisition in Daxing, was extravagant (built large royal parks such as Yuanmingyuan and Summer Palace), was corrupt, valued agriculture and restrained commerce, and was self-reliant. Incredibly, when the British envoy put forward the diplomatic proposition of equal exchanges and tariff reduction to the Qing government, Qianlong not only could not ignore it, but thought? China is rich in natural products, which can be seen everywhere. No, not foreign nationality. ? After that, we strengthened the closed-door management, strictly blocked foreign information, bound people's hearts, and strengthened the slavery and control of the people of China. The most direct influence and result of the closed-door policy is that China completely lags behind other American powers in politics, economy, military affairs, culture, education, science and technology, and finally can only abuse and invade according to the wishes of European and American powers, and it is a slave, semi-colonial and semi-feudal society of western powers.
