Yekaterina is by no means Cixi and Lv Zhi. He not only played politics, but also led Russian chariots forward and ruthlessly crushed opponents. He is simply a female version of Napoleon. During the reign of Catherine II, known as the golden age of Russian aristocrats, aristocrats were exempted from military service and taxes, and gained the right to trade in place. Catherine II not only made outstanding achievements at home, but also won many battles in foreign battlefields, striving to expand Russia's influence in Europe. He was the first Russian monarch to seize Crimea from Turkey. After Russia divided Poland with Austria and Prussia, it occupied the territory of Ukraine, Belarus, Lithuania and Latvia today. However, China has a vast territory and rich products, and Catherine II has no record of invading China. In the final analysis, the reason is nothing more than these two points:
First, economic reasons. 18th century China
Cotton cloth, tea, porcelain, lacquerware, silk, rhubarb, etc. produced in Russia have become a large number of purchased goods, which have promoted the influence of Russian society on China to a certain extent, stimulated the yearning and pursuit of China's practical art, and finally produced a brand-new aesthetic standard.
Secondly, in terms of culture, the Chinese style of China culture sweeping the Russian court and society at that time was directly related to the westernization tendency of the two kings of Romanov Dynasty. One is Peter I, who was the first person to carry out bold and meticulous reforms in Russian history, and the other is Catherine II, who promoted enlightened autocracy during his tenure and was recognized by yekaterina in value. China style has become a remarkable phenomenon in Russian art. Compared with Peter the Great, Catherine II has gone further in promoting China culture. In addition, during the Kangxi period, China's national strength and diplomacy gave great strength. 17 12, Kangxi sent a mission headed by inzana to express condolences to The Cabinetshi Read tulishen, a Mongolian Turkic department stationed in the lower reaches of the Volga river in Russia as a historian. It took a total of three years and the journey was about 30 thousand cases. The mission legend was successfully completed, which recorded the local conditions and customs of Jiang Shen in detail. After returning to China, he was written into accurate and vivid travel notes and quotations. Although the mission didn't go to the Russian capital, most of the places it passed through were Russian rural towns, it is self-evident that Russian local officials greeted him, arranged troops and fired guns, and advocated welcome. While thoroughly understanding Russia's national conditions, the delegation also consciously publicized China's culture, and conveyed information about China's history, geography, official system, laws and regulations, products and ethnic customs to the Russian people during the exchange. ?
