Politics

Announce
edit
The ethnic minorities in the Northern Dynasty lacked political experience, so they put Han people in high position, which led to cultural borrowing from both sides. Over a long period of time, a cultural mix was formed. The Hanization movement of Emperor Xiaowen in the Northern Wei Dynasty was the most prosperous. The mixing process produces intense ideological conflict, political struggle or ethnic conflict, such as the popular uprising in six towns and Yuwentai's Xianbeihua policy. The Northern Qi Dynasty advocated the culture of Chinese exclusion. The Northern Zhou Dynasty established a Guanzhong based policy, integrating Xianbei and Han cultures to eliminate the gap between Hu and Han. [6] It laid the foundation for the national integration of the Sui and Tang dynasties.

stay Da Wei In the course of a century and a half of historical development, social productive forces have gradually recovered and developed. After the Northern Wei Dynasty unified the north, through the long-term hard work and joint efforts of the people of all ethnic groups, the relations of production were adjusted and production developed significantly. Especially after Emperor Xiaowen's reform, Owner farmer The population has increased significantly. Before the reign of Emperor Xiaoming Zhengguang, the number of households in the country has reached more than five million, which is more than that in the Western Jin Dynasty Taikang More than doubled during. Agriculture and handicraft industry have developed significantly. Luoyang Jialan Record 》People in the late Northern Wei Dynasty rich It is popular in the year, and food and clothing are guaranteed. In the handicraft industry, new achievements were made in steelmaking technology in the late Northern Wei Dynasty, Xiangzhou Qiankou Smelting (now Anyang )Make a sharp steel knife. Business is also becoming more active. In the reign of Emperor Xiaowen, Yuan Shuwei Hedong Tai Shou, many local people abandoned agriculture for business. Before Taihe, the commerce in the north was almost at a standstill, and there was no circulation of money and goods. With the development of business, currency Resumption of circulation, and re casting in the 19th year of Taihe“ Taihe Wuzhu ”Money, it is stipulated that this money should be capital It is also accessible to all towns in China. Emperor Xuanwu At that time, Luoyang's commerce was very prosperous and became an international commercial city Pingcheng , Ye and Chang'an. In the ninth year of Wei Taihe's reign (485 years), the land equalization order was issued on the basis of the past Equal field system
The agriculture, salt and iron industry and porcelain manufacturing industry in Northern Qi Dynasty are quite developed, which is the richest among the three countries with Chen and Northern Zhou Dynasty. The Northern Qi Dynasty continued to implement the equal field system, which was basically the same as that of the Northern Wei Dynasty, but also changed slightly. There are also provisions on "no burning" to protect grassland and surface vegetation. According to the Records of the Northern Qi Dynasty · Emperor Wenxuan's Annals, in the spring of the ninth year of Tianbao in the Northern Qi Dynasty (558), the emperor Gao Yang issued an imperial edict stating: "It is only allowed to start a prairie fire in mid winter in one month, and it is not allowed to burn insects and plants in his time." It can only burn wasteland in mid winter (November) one month, and other seasons are prohibited. [7]
According to the traditional concept of "getting rich before teaching" of Confucianism, Yuwentai of the Northern Zhou Dynasty actively advised farmers to teach mulberry trees, rewarded farming, and restored the destroyed land equalization system, so that those farmers who lost their land due to land annexation, war, and natural disasters, and those farmers who had been exiled from other places, could reunite with the land, thus providing conditions for farmers' production activities. The age of service was changed from 15 to 18 in the Northern Wei Dynasty; The service time is determined according to the annual harvest, not more than one month, not more than twenty years of middle age, and not more than ten days of the next year, greatly shortening the service period; The number of servicemen in each farm is limited to one, so as to avoid using too much civilian resources to hinder agricultural production. At the same time Household registration system And the accounting system, namely, the method of accounting for the estimated amount of corvee in the next year. It also clearly stipulates the responsibilities of local officials in developing production. Every year at the beginning of the year, the prefectures and counties must urge the people, no matter how young they are, but who are able to handle agricultural tools, to order them to use their fields without losing farming time. Those slackers who are lazy, enjoy leisure and hate work, and do nothing to the producers will be punished. As one of the criteria for Yu Wentai to measure his achievements in herding and guarding is to persuade farmers to teach them how to produce mulberry, most local officials attach importance to the production of agricultural mulberry, and the economy has gradually developed. Before Yu Wentai's death, there has been a well-off situation with abundant granaries.
