when the manchus enter ming china, the 1st and 2nd generation of manchus were very hard working..... but 70-80 after the establishment of the qing dynasty, the manchus were getting lazy to the extent that they have forgotten how to ride horses and hunt...... which used to be their basic skills in life..... this is because the 1st emperor decreed that manchus are entitled to a certain amount of $$$ and grain a year so that none of them will be poor and hungry.......over the years, the decendants of the 1st generation who conquered and overthrown the ming dynasty became lazy...... as why work when they have all the privilages that the han chinese do not enjoyed? and what happened to the qing dynasty?Originally posted by SingaporeTyrannosaur:At the state they are running things, it remains debatable if there will even be a malaysia in 2061.
yes i do... if Sg gets complacent and lazy, it will follow the trajectory of the imperial dynastic cycle...Originally posted by kanzer:do you see a parallel?
