Time span: The Tang Dynasty was founded in 6 18 with a history of nearly 1400 years, while the Ming Dynasty was founded in 1368 with a history of less than 650 years. Therefore, only considering the time factor, the dynasties closer to the present will naturally attract more attention than the dynasties farther away, because there will be more, more comprehensive and more accurate historical materials handed down to future generations.
Successive dynasties won the country and the Ming Dynasty. It was only in the Ming Dynasty that "Land Rover was expelled and China was restored" and "I, the people of China, will be ordered by heaven to live in peace with my people in China. How can I be ruled by foreigners?" Conquered aliens in an upright manner and won the world. The establishment of the Ming Dynasty was not only the replacement of dynasties, but also the liberation and rebirth of the Han nationality.
The statement that the Tang Dynasty stood at the top of the world is very worthy of scrutiny. Usually people divide the Tang Dynasty into four stages: early Tang Dynasty-prosperous Tang Dynasty-middle Tang Dynasty-late Tang Dynasty. In the early Tang dynasty, it was suppressed by Turks and even became a vassal. Although the final revenge made Khan dance in Chang 'an, it did not really destroy the Turks. Many viewpoints also think that the comprehensive strength at this time is not very strong.
In the Wu and Zhou Dynasties, although the national strength increased greatly, Tang Jun was in a passive position militarily at this stage because of cleaning up a group of generals who could fight. Even though the prosperous Tang Dynasty was the best in the world according to domestic historians, its duration was too short to mention in the middle and late Tang Dynasty.
The Ming Dynasty was the last dynasty established by the Han nationality, while the Qing Dynasty was established by the Manchu. At the same time, the late Qing Dynasty was the most painful period in the history of China, which caused psychological trauma to most people. Many people hated the Qing Dynasty and thought that China would not be so miserable without it. Objectively speaking, even if the last feudal dynasty was founded by the Han nationality, there is still no way to determine whether it is better or worse than the Qing dynasty under the strong guns of the great powers.
The Ming Dynasty shouted, "No pro, no compensation, no land cut, no tribute, the son of heaven protects the country, and the king dies." You know, even in the Han dynasty, when wolves were imprisoned in a professional place, you couldn't shout such a slogan, let alone in the Tang dynasty, when foreign policy was basically solved by kissing.
However, most netizens believe that the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty, the rule of Zhenguan and the rule of Kaiyuan were all invented by literati, while the rule of Hongwu, Yongle and Wanli in the Ming Dynasty were all real. It can be said that as we all know, it is unrealistic for the Qing Dynasty to cover up its glory!
