The Yuan Dynasty was a dynasty in Chinese history, and this has been agreed upon in the historiographical circles. Here are some specific pieces of evidence and opinions:
The Twenty-four Histories are the general name of the twenty-four historical books written by various dynasties in ancient China, and they are accepted as orthodox historical books by successive dynasties, so they are also called "official histories". The Yuan Dynasty existed from 1271 to 1368, and there is a special "History of the Yuan" in the Twenty-Four History, which indicates that the Yuan Dynasty was considered part of Chinese history.
After the destruction of the Yuan, at the beginning of the establishment of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang, the Taizu of the Ming Dynasty, issued an edict.
The compilation of the History of the Yuan meant that the Ming recognized itself as the successor of the Yuan Dynasty.
The Mongols are one of the main ethnic minorities in China and the founders of the Yuan Dynasty. Although the current Inner Mongolia and Outer Mongolia were once part of China in history, in ancient times, the birthplace of the Mongol Empire was in the Inner Mongolia region, and almost all the descendants of the ** family lived in Inner Mongolia, so the Mongol Empire was part of China, and the Yuan Dynasty was naturally also a dynasty of China.
The view of nationality and history in China is different from that of the West, in that Westerners divide ethnic groups and regimes based on race and blood, while China divides them according to culture. As long as you accept Chinese culture and identify with Chinese civilization, you are the Chinese regime. Kublai Khan and his successors have always regarded themselves as Chinese orthodoxy, claiming to be descendants of Yan and Huang, and even the Ming Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang recognized the legitimacy and legitimacy of the Yuan Dynasty.
The provincial system implemented in the Yuan Dynasty was the predecessor of modern China's administrative divisions and had an important impact on China's political system.
The Yuan Dynasty also made high achievements in literature, art, and technology, such as Yuan opera, blue and white porcelain, etc., which made important contributions to the development of Chinese culture. Overall, the Yuan Dynasty was a dynasty in Chinese history, and its establishment and development had a profound impact on Chinese history and culture.
