Map of China's territory change

I believe that friends who like history have seen this picture. Look at this colored area, stretching for a while and shrinking for a while. As a child in China, my heart is full of emotion. ......

At present, China has 9.6 million square kilometers of territory and more than 3 million square kilometers of marine land, which were left by our ancestors through a long history.

The ancient history of our country is a collection of stories that are divided and combined. As the old version of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms said, great events in the world must be combined for a long time and divided for a long time.

The establishment of a dynasty and the arrival of a prosperous time are all a history of expanding territory.

Although there have been twists and turns in the past dynasties, it has been handed down with its deep face. As sons and daughters of China, we should take a look at China's past dynasties.

Xia and Shang dynasties opened up territory, and opened up territory.

Xia Dynasty was in an important period of transition from primitive society to slave society.

The greatest contribution of the Xia Dynasty in territory was to consolidate the core territory of the middle reaches of the Yellow River and extend its influence to the lower reaches of the Yellow River.

After the demise of the Shang Dynasty in the Xia Dynasty, it not only inherited the core territory of the middle reaches of the Yellow River, but also brought the lower reaches of the Yellow River into the core territory.

Then, based on the core territory, the Shang Dynasty extended its sphere of influence to the Yangtze River basin in the south and the Haihe River basin in the north.

Western Zhou Wei Tu Hou Feng

After the demise of the Western Zhou and Shang Dynasties, there was no further territorial expansion.

With the theme of consolidation and digestion, the Western Zhou Dynasty transformed the Huaihe River basin, the Yangtze River basin and the Haihe River basin from their own sphere of influence into their own territory through a large number of princes.

After hundreds of years of sorting out and digesting, most of these areas have become the core territory of Zhou people.

The Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period dominated.

The Western Zhou Dynasty was followed by the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, it was mainly merger and unification.

During this period, in addition to conquering each other, the vassal States also had their own actions to expand their territories.

Qin state, vigorously developing the western region, incorporated a large number of Xirong territory into its own territory, attacked and destroyed Bashu state, and incorporated the whole Sichuan into its own territory.

Extending Hubei in the north and Chu in Hunan in the south, with Hunan as the core, sent people to explore Yunnan and established the Dian State in Yunnan.

Zhao Guo and Zhao Guo incorporated the Hetao area into their own territory.

Yan State, which has a strong territorial nature, has also incorporated Liaodong Peninsula into its own territory.

Throughout the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the general framework of China's territory has been laid.

Daqin Empire Dominated Map

After Qin Shihuang unified the six countries, he continued to expand the territory.

Qin Shihuang sent troops across the Five Mountains, wiped out the whole Baiyue, and incorporated Guangdong, Guangxi, Fujian and Zhejiang into his territory.

It also opened up the southwest, and Guizhou and Yunnan also became the territory of Daqin Empire.

The unification of Qin Shihuang laid a basic framework for later dynasties.

The heroism of a great man

After the demise of the Daqin Empire, the Dahan Empire was established.

On the basis of the Daqin Empire, the Dahan Empire eliminated the Wei Manchu political power in North Korea and established the jurisdiction of four counties in North Korea.

The Dahan Empire also strengthened the management of Baiyue and Southwest China, making Baiyue and Southwest China truly the core territory of China.

The greatest contribution of the Han empire was to open the western regions and bring them into Chinese territory.

The Great Sui Dynasty unified China.

During the hundreds of years from the end of Han Dynasty to the unification of Sui Dynasty, China was in a state of division and melee, and lost many frontier territories.

It was not until the unification of the Sui Empire that the downward trend of territory was stopped and the territory was expanded again. During the period of Yang Di, King Zhancheng invaded southern Xinjiang of the Sui Empire, and Yang Di sent troops to wipe out Zhancheng State, and set up two counties in Zhancheng.

In the west, Tuguhun invaded the Sui Empire, and Yang Di personally conquered Tuguhun, recovered a large territory of Hehuang, and set up four counties for jurisdiction.

All the countries came to the Tang Dynasty.

After the demise of the Sui Empire, the Tang Empire was established. The Tang Empire was good at horizontal and vertical cooperation and made great efforts. Therefore, the Tang Empire made brilliant achievements in a short time.

In the northeast, the Tang empire destroyed Koguryo and recovered a large territory in Liaodong.

Due north, the Tang Empire wiped out the barbarians on the grassland and brought the whole grassland into its sphere of influence.

In the northwest, the Tang Empire reintegrated the western regions into its territory.

Although it has been repeatedly banned since then, the contribution of the Tang Empire is undeniable.

Gains and losses in Wen and Song Dynasties

The Great Song Empire was famous for being weak and constantly bullied by foreigners. But in fact, in the middle and late period, the Great Song Empire was still expanding its territory.

As for Xixia, the Great Song Empire regained a large area of territory and captured the Hengshan Mountains by means of "shallow attack around agriculture and gradual encroachment", and achieved absolute strategic advantages over Xixia.

In addition, the Great Song Empire recovered Hehuang, the hometown of Han and Tang Dynasties, and its territory extended for thousands of miles, and set up Longyou as the governor to exercise jurisdiction. However, because the Great Song Empire gained the strategic advantage over Xixia and recovered Hehuang, it was not far from the rise of Jurchen, so the achievements of the Great Song Empire were lost immediately after the rise of Jurchen.

Therefore, the achievements of the Great Song Empire in expanding its territory and recovering Hehuang in Xixia were buried.

The whip of God spans Europe and Asia.

Jurchen fought against the Southern Song Dynasty for less than a hundred years, and Mongolia rose. Then the Great Yuan Empire was established, which completely ended the chaos in East Asia. The Great Yuan Empire formally incorporated Tibet into Chinese territory and established Zheng Xuanyuan to manage Tibet. The Great Yuan Empire also strengthened the management of Yunnan, Guizhou and Northeast China.

The framework of China's unification of a multi-ethnic country has been basically laid.

Expulsion of Land Rover Ming Dynasty

At the end of the Yuan Dynasty, Mongolian aristocrats were seriously decayed, and natural and man-made disasters occurred together. The rise of the Ming Empire drove them back to Mobei. Daming Empire basically inherited the territory of Dayuan Empire, and further strengthened border control, turning its sphere of influence into the core territory.

At the end of the Ming Dynasty, the Ming Empire recovered Taiwan Province Province occupied by the Dutch, which deepened the contact and exchange between the mainland and Taiwan Province Province.

The history of the Qing empire's expansion of territory

After the demise of the Ming Empire, the Qing Empire reunified China. The Qing Empire completely laid the territory of our country today.

In the northeast, the Qing Empire demarcated the border with North Korea to resist its northward expansion.

Due north, the Qing Empire completely incorporated Mongolia into its territory through marriage and religion.

In the southwest, the Qing empire continued to change its plans and solve the chieftain separatist regime.

In the northwest, the Qing Empire completely wiped out the Junggar khanate and brought Xinjiang back into the territory.

In addition, the Qing empire also set up ministers in Qinghai and Tibet to strengthen its rule and strengthen exchanges with the mainland.

Looking back on the history of China for thousands of years,

After several booms,

After a few times,

With the continuous efforts of our predecessors,

In order to maintain today's appearance,

The previous figure was thousands of years,

Today's people enjoy ten thousand generations,

Our generation should learn from the struggle spirit of our predecessors,

Fight for the rise of China!
