In the long history of China, the Tusi Dynasty is undoubtedly a unique landscape. Since the Tang and Song dynasties, the Tusi system has gradually emerged, and has lasted for more than 1,000 years after the Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties. So, what is it that allowed the Tusi Dynasty in China to last so long?This article will unravel this historical mystery for you.
First, the uniqueness of the geographical environment.
The Tusi Dynasty was mainly distributed in the southwest region, which had a unique geographical environment and was inhabited by many mountains, rivers and ethnic groups. Such a geographical environment makes it difficult for the ** regime to control and manage. However, the Tusi system adapted to the characteristics of this geographical environment, and achieved effective jurisdiction over the southwest region by appointing local ethnic leaders as Tusi. Under the tusi's rule, exchanges and integration between the various ethnic groups were also strengthened, laying the foundation for the long-term existence of the tusi dynasty.
2. Effective ethnic management.
The Tusi system practiced by the Tusi Dynasty was an ethnic management system, and effective jurisdiction over the southwest region was achieved by appointing local ethnic leaders as Tusi. This management system has obvious advantages, it can better adapt to the customs and culture of local ethnic groups, and is conducive to harmonious coexistence among ethnic groups. At the same time, Tusi, as the representative of the ** political power in the local area, also bears the responsibility of maintaining local stability, developing the economy, and promoting culture. This effective way of ethnic management provided an important guarantee for the long-term existence of the Tusi Dynasty.
3. Economic and cultural integration.
During the Tusi Dynasty, economic and cultural exchanges between various ethnic groups were widely developed. The Tusi actively promoted the advanced culture and production technology of the Central Plains, and promoted the local economic prosperity and social progress. At the same time, the cultural exchanges between various ethnic groups have also enabled the integration of different ethnic cultures, forming a unique cultural atmosphere. This fusion of economy and culture provided a strong spiritual support for the long-term existence of the Tusi Dynasty.
Fourth, the balance of political forces.
During the Tusi Dynasty, although the control of the ** regime over the southwest region was limited, the balance of political forces was also an important reason for the long-term existence of the Tusi Dynasty. In the area under the jurisdiction of the Tusi, there are sometimes multiple forces to check and balance each other, which makes the power of the Tusi effectively restrained and prevents the excessive expansion of the Tusi's power. At the same time, the ** regime will also conduct regular assessments and transfers of the Tusi to ensure that the Tusi always maintains loyalty to the ** regime. This check and balance of political power provided a political guarantee for the long-term existence of the Tusi Dynasty.
5. Self-adjustment and improvement of the toast system.
The toast system is not static, but constantly adjusted and improved with the development of the times. In the process of historical development, the Tusi system has continuously absorbed the advanced management system and cultural concepts of the Central Plains, and constantly strengthened its own management ability and cultural heritage. This kind of self-adjustment and improvement enables the toast system to better adapt to the needs of the development of the times, so as to survive for a long time.
To sum up, the reason why the Tusi Dynasty in China lasted for more than 1,000 years was due to the unique geographical environment, effective ethnic management, economic and cultural integration, checks and balances of political forces, and the self-adjustment and improvement of the Tusi system. The existence of this historical period not only enriches China's historical and cultural heritage, but also provides a historical reference for the harmonious coexistence of multiple ethnic groups in today's society.
