8, Zhao Kuangyin (unified)
Ending the division of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms: Through a series of military and political means, a number of separatist regimes were eliminated and the basic unification of the Central Plains was realized. This put an end to a long period of war and division and created conditions for social stability and economic recovery and development. In my opinion, this unification is of great significance, as it allows the people to live in a relatively peaceful environment and promotes exchanges and integration between regions.
7. Li Shimin (ethnic integration)
From the point of view of personal qualities and leadership ability, his humble acceptance can be called an imperial model. Being able to put down one's body and accept the direct advice of the courtiers, this kind of broad-mindedness and strict requirements for oneself is not only rare among ancient emperors, but also a quality that leaders should learn even in modern society. This allows him to constantly revise his decisions and move the country in the right direction
6. Yang Guang (imperial examination system)
The excavation of the Grand Canal strengthened the political, economic and cultural exchanges between the north and the south, promoted the prosperity of the cities along the canal, and played an important role in the economic development and transportation of later generations. The system of creating a scientific examination has broken the monopoly of the family on officialdom, provided a channel for the children of poor families to rise, made the selection of talents more fair and just, and also selected more talented people for the country. This system has lasted for more than a thousand years and has had a profound impact. I believe that the establishment of the imperial examination system is the importance of the ancient Chinese official election system
The great changes have a positive role in promoting the progress of society and the inheritance of culture.
5. Yang Jian (unified)
His greatest achievement was to end the nearly 300-year division of China since the end of the Western Jin Dynasty and to achieve the unification of the whole country. This reunification enabled the society to be stable, the people to live and produce in a relatively peaceful environment, promoted national integration and exchanges, and created favorable conditions for economic and cultural development.
4, Kangxi (territory)
In addition to Aobai, the rebellion of the three feudatories was quelled, the centralization of power was consolidated, and the unity and stability of the country were maintained. Through the Battle of Yaksa, it resisted the aggression of Tsarist Russia and maintained the territorial sovereignty of the country. He also put down the rebellion of the Dzungar tribe and strengthened his control over the border areas. I believe that this kind of act of defending the territorial integrity and sovereignty of the country has laid the foundation for China's territory in future generations and is of great historical significance.
3, Zhu Yuanzhang (Han in power)
Zhu Yuanzhang rose from a commoner, overthrew the rule of the Yuan Dynasty, established the Ming Dynasty, and restored the dominance of the Han nation, which greatly boosted the national spirit and enhanced the national pride. In my opinion, this achievement is not only a change of regime, but also a symbol of the re-emergence of the Han nation after foreign oppression, laying the foundation for the reconstruction of national self-confidence.
2, Liu Che (the founder of the origin of the Han nationality)
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty "deposed a hundred schools of thought and respected Confucianism alone", laying the ideological foundation. He sent Zhang Qian to the Western Regions, opened up the Silk Road, strengthened the exchanges between the Central Plains and the Western Regions, and promoted the integration of economy and culture. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty resolutely resisted the Xiongnu and took the initiative to attack many times, changing the Han Dynasty's long-term passive defensive posture against the Xiongnu. Under his command, generals such as Wei Qing and Huo Qubing performed many miraculous feats, not only recovering a large number of lost territories and consolidating the frontier defense line, but also greatly enhancing the national self-confidence and prestige of the Han people. This military campaign demonstrated the great strength of the Han Dynasty and provided valuable strategic experience and courage and confidence for the later Central Plains Dynasty to resist foreign invasions. The title of "Han nationality" was gradually formed due to the strong national strength, brilliant martial arts and high national cohesion during the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and has continued to this day and has become an important name for the main ethnic group of the Chinese nation. His rule and decisions had a profound and lasting impact on the political, economic, cultural and national spirit of later generations, shaping the development trajectory of the Chinese nation.
1. Qin Shi Huang (system, unification, ancestral dragon)
Qin Shi Huang was an epoch-making figure in Chinese history, and his exploits had a profound and lasting impact on China. In terms of national unification, Qin Shi Huang put an end to the long-term situation of separating princes, unified the land of China, and laid a solid ideological foundation for future generations to pursue national unification, which is undoubtedly a key milestone in the development process of the Chinese nation. The county system he established was a major innovation in the political system, which enabled the central power to reach the localities and strengthened the management and rule of the state. The unification of weights and measures is a far-reaching measure, which eliminates trade barriers between regions, promotes economic exchanges and development, and enables the country to achieve deep integration at the economic level.
In my opinion, although these actions of Qin Shi Huang may have brought a certain burden to the people at the time, in the long run, he laid the foundation for China's unification, stability and development. His eloquence and decisive decision-making have demonstrated extraordinary leadership and had an indelible impact on future generations, enabling China to maintain a strong cohesion and centripetal force throughout history.
