The peasant uprising in the late Ming Dynasty, also known as the peasant war, the uprising in the late Ming Dynasty and the uprising in the late Ming Dynasty, broke out in the northern Shaanxi uprising in the seventh year of the Apocalypse (1627) and ended completely in the thirteenth year of Kangxi (1664). It was the peasant war led by Li Zicheng and others. As a result, the peasant uprising failed and the Ming Dynasty perished.

Influence.

Positive.

The peasant war in the late Ming Dynasty was one of the largest and most influential peasant revolutionary movements in the history of China. It is also a rare large-scale peasant war in Asia and the world. At the same time, because it happened in an important period in the history of China, it has distinct characteristics and great historical role.

Impact the old order and the old system.

After more than 30 years of repeated contests, the peasant uprising army and the Ming and Qing armies overthrew the Ming Dynasty and attacked the Qing Dynasty, which played an important role in the history of China peasant war and played a certain role in promoting social and historical development. Like all peasant wars in the history of the founding of China, it ended in failure. However, the time, scale, fierce struggle and far-reaching influence of the peasant war in the late Ming Dynasty were far behind the previous peasant uprisings.

The peasant war violently impacted and destroyed the old production relations and feudal order in the Ming Dynasty, which opened the way for the recovery and development of social economy in the early Qing Dynasty. Taking the demise of the Ming Dynasty as a reference, the Qing Dynasty eliminated many disadvantages of the Ming government in politics and economy, and adopted some measures conducive to the recovery and development of social production, thus promoting the development of China society.

Change the relationship between land exploitation.

The peasant war also changed the relationship between land exploitation and had a certain impact on the development of urban industry and commerce. Li Zicheng peasant army also noticed the problems of urban industry and commerce, and put forward the slogans of "buy flat and sell flat" and "fair trade" for the first time in the history of China peasant war, which protected the development of industry and commerce and reflected the interests and demands of urban industrialists and businessmen.

For the first time, the peasant army in Li Zicheng clearly put forward the slogan of "equal land", which deeply touched the land problem in feudal society, promoted farmers' spontaneous struggle for land, and had an important impact on the peasant uprising in Qing Dynasty.

Promote research in the field of history.

The peasant war in the late Ming Dynasty also promoted the study of historians in China in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, especially since the founding of the People's Republic of China. The number of monographs, papers and popular books published in the past 30 years is probably only comparable to that of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom Revolution in modern times. Not only do we study the peasant war in the late Ming Dynasty at home, but some overseas historians are also keen on it.

Strengthen cultural exchanges between regions.

During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, Li Zicheng, Zhang and other northwest peasant armed forces moved south, and the accompanying northwest operas were broadcast and moved simultaneously as "legionary teleplay". This is the reason why there is a connection between the western Shaanxi opera in eastern Guangdong and the Shaanxi opera in the northwest.

At the end of Ming Dynasty, the drama activities of the peasant uprising army accompanied by the flow of war were also a great migration of the same-body art and a dissemination, renewal and re-integration of local opera sounds. The excavation of historical materials shows that there are not only a large number of opera performances in the peasant uprising troops in the late Ming Dynasty, but also elements such as the composition of soldiers' native place and the content of performances. It can be inferred that the Bangzi opera produced in the northwest region was performed in the peasant uprising troops in the late Ming Dynasty.

Their drama activities objectively promoted the spread of local operas, made substantial contributions to the prosperity of Chinese operas in the Qing Dynasty, and provided a good historical opportunity for the ecological revival of China opera art.

No.

The peasant war in the late Ming Dynasty also brought negative effects. It has also been pointed out that the peasant war is not only not a historical motive force, but also more harmful to society, economy and culture than the corrupt and incompetent ruling class. In fact, some peasant uprisings have dealt a heavy blow to the people.

Disturb order.

The peasant war in the late Ming Dynasty disrupted the feudal ruling order and led to the demise of the unified Ming Dynasty. The old order was broken, and in the next ten years, China could no longer unite against the invasion of the Qing army, which eventually led to the elimination of the peasant army and the Nanming army by the Qing army. Later, due to the complex social contradictions, in order to consolidate their own rule and prevent the resistance of the vast number of Han people, the ruling order became more and more conservative and rigid, and even a cultural gap appeared.

Destroy productivity.

The peasant war in the late Ming Dynasty was also negative. The peasant war lasted for nearly 20 years, which not only dealt a heavy blow to the existing system and the new ruling order of the Ming Dynasty, but also destroyed the agricultural production and development in various parts of the war zone. On the one hand, at the end of Ming Dynasty, there were many casualties in the battlefield of peasant war, the agricultural production environment was destroyed and the agricultural reproduction chain was broken.

After the large-scale peasant war, social productive forces have been in a state of stagnation and decline for a long time. There have also been separatist regimes, and social productive forces have been destroyed for a long time, and they have not promoted productive forces. Compared with the peasant army in previous dynasties, the peasant army in the late Ming Dynasty was not outstanding.

Destroy culture.

On the land where the peasant army passed, the local gentry and Confucian scholars were all impacted to varying degrees, and some private books and historical books collected by the academy were destroyed. Some of them are lost or even destroyed.
