Aesthetically distorted Qing dynasty destroyed Chinese culture

The nearly 300 years of the Manchu Qing Dynasty was indeed a great destruction and a great regression for Chinese culture and civilization.

Huaxia under Manchu rule

The tragedy opened with the entry of the Manchu Qing Dynasty!

The three massacres of Jiading, the ten days of Yangzhou, the fall of Jiangyin ... At the end of the Ming Dynasty, China's population was about 100 million, but by the beginning of the Kangxi period, there were less than 20 million left. As in the previous hypothesis on the German nation, due to the subconscious in the highly developed Chinese culture in front of the deep inferiority complex and in order to eliminate the Chinese national consciousness, the Manchus through the massacre of the extinction of the Chinese traditional dress and hair ornaments, the Chinese people left on the conquest of the mark of shame - pigtails, the Chinese people also disappeared forever the beauty of the dress; in order to eliminate the "smart" people, the "smart" people, the "smart" people, the "smart" people, the "smart" people, the "smart" people. In order to eliminate the "smart" Chinese, through the compilation of the "Siku Quanshu" burned and tampered with a large number of books, especially technical manuals such as representing the essence of the highest stage of the development of the Huaxia people's thinking, such as later on the development of agriculture, handicrafts in East Asian countries contributed a lot of the "Nongzheng Quanshu", "Tiangongkaiwu" has been to the opium wars before the Japanese students in Japan found it. Japan found only reappeared in China; in the word prison under the knife, the intellectuals to cultivate the body and the family, the country and the world of the traditional ultimate concern for human rights, thinking about human nature are also extinct on the ground in China, the absurd jinshi, ichthyology emerged, China's traditional culture is no longer a living form, and was the museum, drilling those so-called classics recognized by the Manchu Qing Dynasty and the Egyptologist in the British Museum and the Egyptian literature is no different. The study of the so-called classics recognized by the Manchus was no different from the Egyptologists reading Egyptian documents in the British Museum, and there is a very close name - Sinology; like all foreign colonial rule, a Manchu city full of eight banners army, surveillance and suppression of the Chinese people rose in the center of each city, and we can still find traces of it in the street names of many cities; in order to prevent the Chinese under the rule of the Chinese people to get the help of the Zheng regime in Taiwan at that time, and the subordinate civilizations of the Chinese such as Japan and Korea, the rich southeast coasts of the Chinese people were also under the rule of the Chinese people. In order to prevent the ruling Huaxia people from getting help from the Zheng regime in Taiwan at that time and the affiliated civilizations such as Japan and Korea, the affluent southeastern coastal area was turned into a no-man's land, and the people were displaced in a tragic way...

Through the so-called Kangxi and Qianlong Dynasties boasted by the Manchurian Qing Dynasty, we can still conclude that the proud and intelligent Chinese aristocracy was dying under the alien rule of the Manchurian Qing Dynasty, and it continued to be barbarized, backward, and gradually reduced to a surviving alien minion. The so-called inferiority that we are now constantly attacking, is it not the character of the lackeys? Not to mention the authenticity of the so-called Kangqian event description is still very doubtful, associated with nearly 50 years of brainwashing of the people's education and the falsification of history, I think we should understand this reasoning, the end of the Ming Dynasty Chongzhen when there are seven million eight hundred and thirty-three hectares of field to Qianlong thirty-one years (1766) seven million four hundred and eleven hectares of the figures just close to the end of the Ming land figures, the visible production of the KangYongQian restoration is slow, after a hundred years! Only to the end of the Ming Dynasty production scale. The highest is the Jiaqing seventeen years for seven million nine hundred and ninety-one million, just more than the Ming Chongzhen period of seven, eight million hectares, while the population reached nearly four hundred million, is the end of the Ming several times! This shows that the so-called Kangxi and Qianlong Sheng Shi is a thing. Macartney, the British envoy who visited during the Qianlong period, said there was "staggering poverty everywhere", "many people without clothes", and "an army as ragged as a beggar's".

There was an upper limit to population growth in China's history, around 100 million, and even the late Ming's surge in productivity didn't lead to spectacular population growth, so why did the population of the Qing dynasty quickly grow from less than 20 million to 400 million soon after the founding of the country? Also, China has always had marijuana, opium and other crops and is an opium exporter, but why is it only in the Manchu Qing Dynasty that a large number of people smoked opium and soon became the largest importer of opium? This abnormal activity of physiological reproduction and the high demand for narcotics reflected the poverty and suppression of cultural and intellectual activities. This can also be deduced from the fact that the massive growth of population in the Qing Dynasty did not lead to the advancement of productive forces, but rather to a steady regression. The total output of the two index industrial products, iron and cloth, never reached the level of the late Ming Dynasty before the Opium War, and shortly after the end of the so-called Kangxi and Qianlong reigns in 1840, China's industrial output was only 6% of the world's. Both the total output and its share in the world's was low. Neither the total production nor its share in the world was as high as in the late Ming Dynasty, when Lin Zexu was defending Guangdong in the late Qing Dynasty, and the so-called powerful artillery pieces offered by the people were only ordinary military assemblies of the Ming Dynasty. The lack of products due to the decline in productivity and the closed-door policy of the Manchu Qing Dynasty inevitably hindered the development of trade. The whole Chinese society was under the rule of a backward and alien civilization, and the gap between China and other advanced civilizations was widening. By the time of the Opium War, the Chinese in the eyes of the West had already been classified as a semi-civilized civilization. While we marvel at the very different performance of Chinese civilization in the Ming and Qing dynasties, should we not note that this change did not follow the normal trajectory of Chinese civilization, but rather the consequences of the extinction of traditional culture under the alien rule of the Manchu Qing Dynasty.

Contrasting with the tragedy that we suppose happened to the German nation, seeing the streets full of yellow people with Manchu braids and wearing Manchu coats, would you think that what you are exposed to is the Chinese culture? Do you think that the above mentioned China during the Manchu era was a Chinese society shaped by the traditional Chinese culture? After the Opium War, when the West, which was once on a par with us, stood at our doorstep as an advanced civilization, should we blame our backwardness and barbarism on our traditional Chinese culture? After the Xinhai Revolution, we overthrew the alien rule of the Manchus and began our efforts to return to the ranks of the world's advanced civilizations. Should we continue to abandon our traditional culture and "westernize" it, or should we re-discover and renew the development of our great traditional culture, which has been interrupted for nearly three hundred years? At least our experience of more than a hundred years of hard work, especially the results of the wholesale westernization represented by the Chinese*** regime, does not make us feel too good about "westernization".

The concept of culture and civilization alienation

The respect for Confucianism in the Manchurian Qing dynasty is not evidence that the society of Manchuria was shaped by the traditional Chinese culture, and the intellectuals of the Manchurian Qing dynasty could not be regarded as the carriers of the traditional culture, just as their European counterparts, such as the Egyptologists and Semiticians, could not be regarded as the heirs of Egyptian and Semitic cultures, and were only a Tatarized people. They are just sinologists of the original Chinese community of the Tatarization era. Because traditional culture is not only a kind of museum symbols, such as some classics, some social norms, some values and rationality, which are the same moral code of conduct, the same characteristics of the behavior; it is also a kind of civilization based on the origin of the classic ideas, social norms, values and rationality of the ancestors in the civilization of the state of innovation and improvement in order to adapt to the development of the society of the state of the healthy, the process and even the ability itself.

From the point of view of cultural ecology, the culture of a nation will certainly be reflected in the physical appearance of the nation, especially in clothing and architecture, and this physical appearance itself is also a part of the traditional national cultural system, just as when we think of the Chinese culture we should think of Eguanbobodai, wide robes and big sleeves of the Central Plains dress, which is one of the characteristics of the Chinese culture to distinguish itself from the other cultures, and is also one of the characteristics that we can hardly distinguish from the other cultures. This is one of the characteristics that distinguish Chinese culture from other cultures, and also one of the reasons why it is difficult to associate women wearing Turkish headscarves in the streets with German culture. However, from what beginning, and what prompted us to the disappearance of traditional culture, such as the extinction of clothing, moral degradation, etiquette of the chaos, etc., indifference, numbness, and even applauded it?

I think this little story should be able to inspire everyone: the Manchu just established the regime, as a Chinese vassal civilization of the North Korean country sent envoys to Beijing to see the Manchu emperor, forced to stay Manchu hair braid, wearing a Manchu waistcoat of the people of China to see the North Korean envoys of the Chinese dress and etiquette could not help but tears, the heart of the extreme pain; fifty years later, when the North Korean envoys to Beijing to see the emperor, from childhood to stay with the Emperor's hair braid, wearing a Manchu coat of the people of China could not help but tears, heart extremely painful; but fifty years later, when North Korea's envoys to see the Manchu again! When the emperor, the Han Chinese who grew up with Manchu braids and wearing Manchu coats despised and ridiculed the North Korean envoys for their Chinese costumes and manners, and considered them barbaric costumes and barbaric manners. The difference is only 50 years!!! And today, three hundred years later, the Qing dynasty theater, pigtail drama flying all over the sky, still constantly tearing the Chinese nation's self-image of the mind, we have a responsibility to do something about it?
