Political and Economic Characteristics in Ming and Qing Dynasties

First, politically, on the basis of the coexistence of Liao, Song, Xia and Jin Dynasties and the unification of Yuan Dynasty, the multi-ethnic feudal country further developed. One of the manifestations of this development is that national sovereignty has been safeguarded and a unified multi-ethnic country has been further consolidated through the victory of resisting foreign aggression and effective measures to quell the rebellion and govern the vast territory; The second manifestation is the further strengthening of the centralized feudal system of absolutism in Ming and Qing Dynasties, and the development of this autocratic system is a reflection of the decline of the feudal system. Second, the feudal economy developed gradually, not only exceeding any period in history, but also starting from the middle and late Ming Dynasty. A new system, the bud of capitalism, emerged in the feudal society and gradually expanded, gradually disintegrating the natural economy, which was the material factor for the gradual decline of the feudal system. Third, under the long-term relatively stable unification situation, the integration of all ethnic groups is also continuing to develop. This integration has laid a solid foundation for the formation of the modern Chinese nation, safeguarded unity, opposed separatism, resisted foreign aggression and safeguarded national dignity. Fourth, as an ideological culture, on the one hand, it still leads the world in traditional culture and science and technology, and a series of scientific masters and summative scientific and technological works have emerged; More importantly, on the other hand, the development of commodity economy and the decline of feudal system led to the emergence of anti-feudal democratic thought, and a number of outstanding thinkers and novels appeared.
