Mongolia is the predecessor and remnant of the Yuan Dynasty.
As the Kuritai Conference is approaching, the most important wedding for Mongolians in recent times has quietly come to an end. Dacheng Taiji married Anda's widow Zhongjin Hatun. The reason why it was "quietly" is that although this wedding
It has important political significance, but the man on both sides is not married for the first time, and the woman is remarried. It is unreasonable to make such a big deal.
In addition, the faces of Dachengbiji and Erdemutu must also be taken care of.
"Teacher, the envoy of the Oara people has also arrived today." Erdemutu appeared in front of Gao Pragmatic with some excitement. He cupped his hands to Gao Pragmatic, who closed his eyes and rested, and said: "Father said, even when the old Khan is in power,
The Walas people have been beaten and moved several times, but never as grandly as today. He asked me to come and express my gratitude to the teacher again."
Gao pragmatic did not open his eyes. He had been working hard recently. Although he was young, he was also quite tired. He had been very tired these days. He had almost no participation in the organization of the Kuritai Conference, leaving everything to Han Naji and Zhongjin Hatun.
The newly...well, remarried couple is left to their own devices.
"Excellent Qian Yuan, congratulations on Mongolia's prosperity again." Gao pragmatically said in a calm tone, and then changed the subject: "Erdemutu, have you ever thought about how the Yuan was so huge that it fell so quickly?
"
Isn't this a point question? Erdemutu immediately said: "The Mongols don't know that they can conquer the world immediately, but they can't rule the world immediately."
Unexpectedly, Gao Pragmatic shook his head and said: "In the Yuan Dynasty, culture was very prosperous." He slowly opened his eyes, looked at the half-grown Mongolian students in front of him, and smiled slightly: "Even many Han people benefited from this culture.
The place."
Erdemutu was stunned for a moment and hesitated: "Really?"
"Don't you believe it?" Gao Pragmatic smiled slightly and said: "The culture of the Yuan Dynasty is a combination of Persian culture, Mongolian culture, and Chinese culture. The more cultures communicate, the more prosperous they become... Let me give you an example: blue and white are originally Persian culture, and blue and white are originally Persian culture.
The color is one of the main colors in China. Before the Yuan Dynasty, there was no blue and white in China. In the Yuan Dynasty, this blue pattern was brought from Persia and could be painted on porcelain.
Before blue and white porcelain, no matter how Chinese ceramics changed, everyone was leading the way. But after blue and white porcelain came out, it immediately became the mainstream, and no one has shaken its status for two to three hundred years."
There is indeed nothing wrong with Gao Pragmatic’s example. From the Yuan Dynasty to the Ming and Qing dynasties, blue and white porcelain took the first place in both private and official kilns. In the late Qing Dynasty, pastels challenged its status, but in the end they failed.
Gave it.
But a piece of blue and white porcelain was not enough to convince Erdemutu. His expression was obviously doubtful.
Then Gao Pragmatic added: "There is also cloisonné, a handicraft of the Yuan Dynasty that had a great influence on the Ming Dynasty. There is also cloisonné. It is mainly based on blue and was created in the Yuan Dynasty. It has nothing to do with Jingtai (the reign name of the Ming Dynasty).
In fact, cloisonne is also a typical foreign culture. In the final analysis, it is the filigree enamel craft, which was introduced by the Arabs, that is, Hui Hui. In the "Gegu Yaolun" in the early Ming Dynasty, it was said that it was a craft passed from "Dashi".
And smart Chinese craftsmen learned this craft, then incorporated Chinese decorations into it, carried it forward, and turned it into China's unique palace culture."
Erdemutu hesitated for a moment and whispered: "But... these are all trivial matters."
"Then what is the Great Way? Does the study of astronomy count?" Gao Pragmatic laughed and said: "In the study of astronomy, Yuan Ting presided over the translation of Ptolemy's "Collection of Astronomy", and Ibn Yunu
His works such as "Hakim's Star Catalog", Hui astronomer Zamaruddin presided over the "Hui Si Tianjian", and created polycyclohedrons, azimuths, clinometers, detazides, celestial spheres, globes, and astronomical instruments.
Guo Shoujing, a local Chinese scientist, absorbed the essence and improved it to create simple instruments, Yang instruments, Guibiao instruments, Houji instruments, armillary instruments, vertical movement instruments, scenery symbols, peeping instruments, etc., and collaborated with Wang Xun and Xu Heng.
and others jointly compiled the "Time Calendar", China's most advanced and longest-running calendar. The compilation of this calendar benefited from the twenty-seven astronomical observation stations set up across the country.
At the same time, the compilation of the "Time Service Calendar" not only listed three interpolation formulas ("the method of recruitment"), but also used the "fortress, recruitment, Pythagorean, and arc arrow method" to conduct careful calculations, in which the returns will be returned
The invented arc trigonometric method was applied to the art of cutting circles to obtain the 'arc-sagittal art of cutting circles' (i.e., the solution of spherical right-angled triangles). Zhu Shijie's "Siyuan Yujian" promoted the 'Tianyuan Art' to the 'Siyuan Art' (Siyuan Gao).
simultaneous equations), and proposed the solution of 'elimination', which is better than...well, this is still the pinnacle of mathematics."
Gao pragmatic almost blurted out just now: three hundred years ahead of Europe.
Erdemutu had always been taught by Hannaji that only the Han people had the strongest culture. Although Gao Pragmatic said this, he still insisted: "But these knowledge are not practical."
Gao pragmatic thought for a while and asked: "So, is medicine practical? In medicine, there were four schools of medicine (Jin) and Yuan Dynasty. They combined Han medicine and Arabic medicine in the "Hui Hui Prescription", which is a comprehensive Hui medicine.
There are thirty-six volumes of medical classics, including internal medicine, surgery, gynecology, pediatrics, orthopedics, dermatology and other departments. There are about six to seven thousand prescriptions. Many of the prescriptions we are familiar with now, such as aromatic volatile medicines and nasal drops.
, dew wine preparations, oil preparations, syrup preparations, etc., were not introduced from Bian Que and Hua Tuo, but came from the 'sea medicine' brought by Arab medicine."
Medicine must be the most practical. Erdemutu could not argue, so he could only say: "But the Great Yuan Dynasty still died." He paused and said a little lonely: "Since the teacher said that the Great Yuan Dynasty did not die because of culture, then the Great Yuan Dynasty did not die because of culture.
Why did the Yuan Dynasty flourish so vigorously and then fall so suddenly?"
Gao pragmatically said: "There is a saying in "Zuo Zhuan": 'If you prosper with this, you will perish with it.' The Yuan Dynasty, which reflected its 'greatness' in every aspect, only existed for a hundred years before disintegrating, but it also fell to the 'greatness'
superior."
Erdemutu was surprised and said: "How can a big country be destroyed?"
Gao pragmatically said: "Nature can be said to be broad, broad, majestic, and strong, but on the other hand, it is also rough, crude, scattered, and vertical. The main ruling area of the Yuan Dynasty was the Han Dynasty, but it did not regard Han Confucian culture as the basis for ruling the country.
Ideology, it is a good thing for rulers to implement freedom of belief throughout the country, but the rulers themselves also wander among various beliefs and are never able to establish the country's most fundamental governing philosophy, which will make the country's foundation completely based on strong force.
, that is to say, what you just said, ‘the world will be governed immediately’, is bound to be easy to loosen.”
Gao Pragmatic did not expand on this issue and told Erdemutu that in fact the laws of the Yuan Dynasty were a mixture of Mongolian Zhasa and Tang and Song code codes.
"For the sake of admiration", "Cao Mu Zi" written by Ye Ziqi in the late Yuan Dynasty mentioned that "The ancestor of the Yuan Dynasty decided the punishment for the world, and he was whipped with a stick and tortured to the fifth level. The crime of whipping with the stick was determined, and he said that the sky would spare him once, the earth would spare him once, and I would spare him.
He was beaten for fifty times, and forty-seven times before he was beaten... The trial of the death row prisoners in the world has been decided, and no additional punishments have been imposed. They all died in jail... Therefore, in the past seventy or eighty years, the old and the young have never heard of being executed.
.When he saw a dead head, he was horrified. It can be said that he was victorious and killed, and Li Yuan was in the spring of Haihan."
When Zhu Yuanzhang, the founder of the Ming Dynasty who replaced the Yuan Dynasty, summed up the previous dynasty, he believed that "the failure lay in indulgence." Treating the people lightly can naturally win the hearts of the people, but the same is true for officials, which will inevitably lead to the prevalence of corruption and the unfavorability of governance. The court wants to
People should be treated leniently, but corrupt and cruel officials only make people resentful.
The Yuan Dynasty had no Juche ideology to begin with. It was still dominated by a foreign race, and its usage was lenient. It is conceivable that the spark of resistance could never be nipped in the bud. Once the central power weakened, it would start a prairie fire.
In addition, the people of the Yuan Dynasty were divided into four classes, and the policy of national oppression was legally determined. The Han and Southerners, who accounted for the vast majority of the population, were naturally resentful. It was difficult for the elites of the largest ethnic groups to have a sense of belonging to the imperial court for this kind of oppression.
On the contrary, due to loose rule, developed social economy, and hierarchical system, the Mongolians and Semu people who are in the first and second class are often in a strong position. In fact, in the Yuan Dynasty, the ordinary people of the Mongols and Semu people were
Poor and reduced to the Han people, there are many southern slaves. As a foreign national regime, the people of this nation will inevitably weaken their centripetal force towards the imperial court because of these circumstances.
Mongolians are rough and generous, and they are happy to take revenge. This kind of character can be regarded as an advantage as an individual, but as a ruler of a large empire, he will inevitably lack careful thinking and shrewd calculations.
Among the eleven emperors of the Yuan Dynasty, almost every time there was a change of throne, there would be brutal killings and even large-scale wars. Machiavellian planners planned in secret rooms and launched trouble in the court. It was rare that one or two people could decide the throne, so they were always involved.
It's a confrontation with open swords and clear guns.
Internal strife among the royal family, nobles, and important ministers often leads to national unrest and a great loss of vitality. Such blatant struggles for power will inevitably cause the royal family's prestige to decline among the people.
In addition, the people of the Yuan Dynasty claimed that "the major events of the country were called expeditions, hunting, and banquets." After the establishment of Zongzong, foreign wars basically stopped, and only hunting and banquets were the three major events. The court was organized from top to bottom.
Hedonistic style, there are many kinds of games, such as hunting, playing polo, Chuiwan (playing ball on foot), Cuju (football), shooting willow, shooting garden, Jiaofan, Shuanglu, chess, Go, playing orchid, throwing pot, etc.
Thimble, continuation of hemp, whitening, Dao characters, etc. are all available, even to the point of "in the Yuan Dynasty, there were many people dancing and singing all the time, and there was no production".
The fundamental affairs of the country have not yet been stabilized, so you can imagine the consequences of eliminating ambitions in this way. By the time of the last emperor Yuan Huizong, the super debauched game of "Great Joy" was prevalent in the palace, and he was helpless in the face of "thousands of red scarves".
It can be said that there is a reason for it.
However, after all, Gao Pragmatic did not really teach Erdemutu how to govern the country. He just told Erdemutu in this way: The strength of China lies in its firm implementation of the Confucian system, so... you should also do the same in the future.
That’s it!
Erdemutu understood and nodded vigorously.
Gao Pingshi smiled and closed his eyes again to rest his mind, but he couldn't help but mutter in his heart: Confucianism...it would be good to promote it to you.
