In fact, the history of the Northern Dynasties, the history of the Yuan Dynasty and the history of the Qing Dynasty are all part of China's history, so it is called the twenty-fourth or twenty-fifth history. Zhu Yuanzhang, the most active anti-Yuan, admitted that the Yuan Dynasty was a dynasty in China. Zhu Yuanzhang once said, "In the past, Hu Han's family was dominated by Hu Jun" and "In recent years, Hu Han's family was dominated by Daming". This sentence fully shows that the replacement of the Yuan Dynasty by the Ming Dynasty is an ordinary dynasty change, and the situation of "Hu Han family" has not changed.
After Zhu Yuanzhang proclaimed himself emperor, he ordered the compilation of History of Yuan Dynasty. Since Genghis Khan, he has acknowledged his orthodox position, chronicled it, and followed the tradition of China to avoid it. There is a cloud at the beginning of "Yuan Shi Ji Xian Mao": "Mao Fa Tian Qi Yun is afraid of Temujin." In fact, China will not write biographies for foreign emperors, nor will he use taboos. Who wrote biographical sketches for the Japanese emperor?
In the first year of Hongwu (A.D. 1373), Zhu Yuanzhang ordered sacrifices to 16 China emperors from Fuxi to Kublai Khan, claiming to inherit their unity; In 2 1 (1288), Hongwu also offered sacrifices to 37 famous ministers in China, including Guan Yu, Yue Fei and other famous Han Chinese generals, as well as Mu Lihua, Boroqul, Black Blind Man, Chi Laowen and Bo Yan. In Jiajing 1 1 (1532), the Ming government established the Imperial Temple in Beijing, including Kublai Khan in the Yuan Dynasty. Zhu Yuanzhang has always regarded the desert and Northeast China as his own territory, and made six northern expeditions with the intention of reunification (definitely not invading foreign countries). Finally took control of the northeast.
Zhu Yuanzhang's point of view is out of place with today's Hanzhong theorists or Manchu-Mongolian-African China theorists, but it is completely in line with China's traditional national view. The replacement of the Ming Dynasty by the Qing Dynasty is also a normal change in the history of China.
If the Yuan and Qing Dynasties were not the dynasties of China, then the dynasties established by ethnic minorities did not belong to China? For example, Northern Dynasties, Dali, Xixia and so on. Is it possible that the ancient history of China's frontier is foreign history?
Confucius wrote the Spring and Autumn Annals, saying, "When the righteous emperor enters China, it is China's, and when China enters the righteous emperor, it is the righteous emperor's". In other words, Yi Di went to the Central Plains and adopted Chinese cultural customs, which made him a Chinese. However, if Huaxia in the Central Plains enters remote areas and uses the cultural customs of Yidi, they will become Yidi. Whether it is Yidi or Huaxia is not their bloodline, but what they have learned.
Mencius inherited Confucius' view of ethnic differences, and further put forward that "the holy king of China has no children", thinking that any ethnic group in China can rule China as a holy king as long as it has ambition and talent. He said: "Shun was born in Xiafu, died in Mingtiao, was born in Dongyi, and died in Xiamen."
