The Ming Dynasty: Three Centuries of Flourishing Culture and Power

This video tells the story of China's remarkable Ming Dynasty! We follow the Ming's journey from small beginnings to becoming one of the world's greatest empires.
The Ming founder Zhu Yuanzhang overthrew the Mongol rulers and re-established Han Chinese power. The early Ming achieved amazing feats like building the Forbidden City and sending huge navy voyages to Africa.
Ming armies kept China's borders safe while Ming influence spread across East Asia. Trade and agriculture boomed, allowing arts, dramas, porcelain-making and more to flourish.
But later, corruption and disasters weakened the Ming. Peasant revolts overwhelmed the declining Ming military, letting rebels ultimately capture Beijing and end the dynasty.
The Ming made a deep cultural impact and remains one of China's greatest imperial eras. Its almost 300 years of success launched China into an early modern golden age.

The Ming dynasty can lay its glorious beginnings in the earlier, ethnic Han dynasty, the Song, a greatly underrated Chinese dynasty now beginning to be recognized as a new golden age in Chinese civilization. In many ways, Ming China was a continuation of the grand Song dynasty after a century interruption of Mongol rule.

[@Ealsante]

Absolute rubbish. The Song was the peak of Chinese culture. Ming China was a peasant's idea of a wealthy empire, an idiot's idea of a cultural centre. The saying is true: China died after Yashan (the final battle of the Mongol conquest).

[@linshitaolst4936]

The Yuan Dynasty cannot represent Mongolia. You know, under the oppression of the Yuan Dynasty, most ordinary herdsmen on the Mongolian plateau went bankrupt and entered China as slaves. The Ming Dynasty cannot represent China either. The corrupt rule in the late Ming Dynasty led to millions of farmers uprisings and overthrew her. The border defense forces of the Ming Dynasty chose to join the Qing Dynasty because they were oppressed. The feudal dynasty can never represent a nation because the ruled civilians are not nobles

At that time, it coincidentally encountered the Little Ice Age and some natural disasters, such as major earthquakes, and large explosion incidents. There are claims of an explosion at the capital's ammunition depot, and others of a meteorite impact.

Ming dynasty actually stood a chance against the Manchus if their bureaucratic government wasn't so corrupt. One of their most effective generals that held off 200,000 Manchurians with just 9,000 troops was executed by political rivals after they placed false charges on him after he won the battles. This continued on with other series of executions of effective generals until other Ming generals started defecting to the Qing side. Late Ming was a cesspool of incompetence.

The Mongol Yuan dynasty lasted just about 91 years, just under one century. The Mongol overlords had no prior experience ruling and managing large, complex nations like China, which relied on a large, complex, coordinated beauracracy of thousands of highly educated and literate men. The Mongols attempted to rule China greatly influenced by steppe nomad culture. As a result in a short time China became bankrupt and its infrastructure and society deteriorated, exacerbated by widespread governmental inefficiency, ineffectiveness and debilitating corruption. Cracks in the Mongol government had already began to manifest under the extraordinary Emperor Kublai Khan. The Yuan dynasty held together under the next Yuan emperor but began its inexorable decline thereafter where as many as 23 Yuan emperors assumed the throne only to die prematurely or be overthrown.

There are several reasons why some people may have a negative perception of the Ming Dynasty: 1. Authoritarian Rule: The Ming Dynasty's centralized government often ruled with an iron fist, implementing strict laws and regulations that limited personal freedoms. 2. Confucian Orthodoxy: The Ming Dynasty placed a heavy emphasis on Confucian ideology, which could be restrictive and rigid in its social structures and expectations. 3. Economic Issues: The Ming Dynasty faced economic challenges such as corruption, inefficiency, and widespread poverty, which could lead to dissatisfaction among the population. 4. Cultural Suppression: The Ming Dynasty promoted traditional Chinese culture while suppressing foreign influences, which could be seen as limiting cultural diversity and exchange. 5. Ming-Qing Transition: The decline of the Ming Dynasty and the subsequent rise of the Qing Dynasty may have created negative perceptions of the Ming as a period of weakness and instability. Overall, varying perspectives on the Ming Dynasty may stem from differing opinions on its governance, cultural policies, economic performance, and historical context. Historians and individuals may have differing interpretations of the dynasty's impact on Chinese society, leading to mixed views on its legacy.

Under the leadership of Emperor Yongle Zhu Di, the Ming Dynasty had the opportunity to conquer the Mongolian Plateau. Emperor Yongle once launched three expeditions to Mongolia, allowing the Tatar tribes in eastern Mongolia to submit to the Ming Dynasty. Unfortunately, the military achievements of the Ming Dynasty were destroyed by his grandson. The sixth emperor of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Qizhen, lost 200000 elite soldiers during his expedition to the Walla region of Mongolia. From then on, the Ming Dynasty formed a military confrontation with various Mongolian tribes inside and outside the Great Wall and never launched an expedition again

This is the main problem of Chinese dynasties, especially the ones ruled by the Han locals. After centuries of prosperity and power, the corruption and negligence starts to seep in for the next few decades until the government literally decays to the point that regular citizens have to revolt and replace the empire with a new one. But that new one will repeat the same mistake as their predecessors. It's like a recycle every few hundred years. And every time they isolate themselves, they decay into stupidity and regression. Today's China's government is not really any different. They isolate themselves twice and it went bad (1950-1978 & after 1-2 years of covid, they decided to prolong the isolation for another year). Just imagine if just one dynasty could actually hold on for 800-1000 years, the inventions and advancement would be pretty insane!

[@ZhangK71]

It’s called “not having a robust nobility class to ensure relatively bloodless monarchical successions and relative parity between multiple mostly competent potential ascendants to the throne”. Medieval Europe clearly had it, but even the classical Romans had it even if not of the same kind as the land-owning medieval lords, so did their Byzantine / Eastern Roman successors. China’s system ensured a family “monopoly” on absolute power with relatively weaker nobility power-and therefore ensured that positive can only change with violent overthrows of said monopoly rather than letting the free market of like-minded oligarchs outcompete each other peacefully in becoming competent rulers. Not to say the Western way is completely better in all ways-at least commoners in imperial China could become somewhat powerful much more easily than commoners in medieval Europe through meritocracy, or much more powerful if they lead a successful rebellion and take the Mandate of Heaven!-but one advantage over China is certainly much less bloody and disastrously unstable political systems.

There were many rebel groups who have fought the Mongol years before Zhu even joined in. He rose to power after murdering his old boss Han Shantong and Han's son.
