Order Song Dynasty, Tang Dynasty, Ming Dynasty, Yuan Dynasty, Sui Dynasty, Han Dynasty, Jin Dynasty, Qin Dynasty, Qing Dynasty, Zhou Dynasty, Shang Dynasty, Xia Dynasty, Yuan Dynasty, the economic data is difficult to count, according to foreign research organizations estimate that its GDP accounted for the world's 30%-35% or so. The per capita GDP of the Song Dynasty amounted to 2,280 dollars, and the whole Song Dynasty accounted for 65% of the world's GDP, 80% of the Northern Song Dynasty and 50% of the Southern Song Dynasty, making it the richest dynasty in Chinese history. The Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty accounted for 80% of the world's GDP, and the entire GDP of the Ming Dynasty was 45%. However, disasters and wars at the end of the Ming Dynasty caused a rapid decline from 80% to half, and in the middle and end of the Ming Dynasty, some areas in the south of the Yangtze River had recovered to the level of the Song Dynasty. Qing Dynasty (35%-10%) can be ranked behind the Ming Dynasty (40%-45%), but its late economic recession, wars of aggression and a large amount of silver used for reparations and flowed to foreign countries, so the whole country's power fell rapidly, from 35% of the Kangxi, Qianlong, Jiaqing, fell to 10%. The annual financial income of Song Dynasty had reached 16,000,000 guan wen at the highest, and in the middle and late years of the Northern Song Dynasty, it could reach 80-90 million guan wen, and even in the Southern Song Dynasty, which had lost half of its territory, the financial income was as high as 10,000,000 guan wen. What kind of concept is this? Let us compare it with other figures. In the fifth year of the Longqing period (1571) of the Ming Dynasty, the state's annual income was 2.5 million taels of silver. After Zhang Juzheng's reforms, in the 28th year of the Wanli reign (1600), the annual income was 4 million taels (although Zhang Juzheng's death was followed by the death of the government, the financial reforms were relatively less destroyed, and at this time, it was only a decade or so before Zhang's death, so it is estimated that this amount of income was not much less than that of the period when Zhang Juzheng was in charge of the country). At the end of the Ming Dynasty, the world was in great turmoil, and under the attack from both the Later Jin and the Peasant Uprising, the Ming Government successively increased the collection of Liao's pay, the suppression of pay and the training of pay, that is, the famous "three pay plus faction", which resulted in the people's grievances being so intense that it caused a great deal of trouble and smoke to break out in all directions. How much revenue did this practice, which was regarded as "quenching thirst by drinking hemlock" by the people of the time, bring to the country? About 10 million taels a year. In other words, the total revenue of the Ming Dynasty was about 15 million taels of silver a year. If we consider the general exchange rate of silver money as 1 tael of silver = 1 kan of copper, then the financial income of Ming Dynasty was only less than 1/10 of that of the Northern Song Dynasty and less than 1/6 of that of the Southern Song Dynasty, even though it was more than 3,000 years after the demise of the Southern Song Dynasty, and even though the land area of the Ming Dynasty was much larger than that of the Song Dynasty. The financial situation of the Qing Dynasty was better than that of the Ming Dynasty, and the country's annual income in the first seven years of Shunzhi (1650) was 14.85 million taels. During the Xianfeng period (around 1850), the annual income was about 3,000,000-40,000,000 taels. The amount was still much smaller than that of the Song Dynasty 600 years earlier, when China's population had exceeded 300 million, estimated to be two to three times the population of the Song Dynasty. It was not until the end of the Qing Dynasty that the country's annual income reached the level of the Song Dynasty. (The income of the Song Dynasty may be overestimated due to the exchange rate, but even so, it is still an undoubted fact that the income of the Song Dynasty was far greater than that of any other feudal dynasties.) With such a huge financial income of the Song Dynasty, does it mean that the burden of the people was also extremely huge? Of course, in terms of per capita income, it certainly did. However, it should be realized that the Song Dynasty was one of the only two major dynasties in Chinese history that did not have a national peasant uprising. The only larger uprisings, such as the Li Shun Wang Xiaobo Uprising, the Song Jiang Uprising, the Fang La Uprising, and the Zhong Xiang Yang Xiao Uprising, did not extend beyond a single province.
