Do you agree with the actual methods of how the Mongols ruled the Yuan Dynasty?
Overall, I agree with the main action of the Mongol while they ruled the Chinese: Mongols were separated from the Han Chinese to present the existence of social difference. I think one of the most correct and effective way that the Mongols did that shows their social status against the Chinese was to forbidden intermarriage. Not only does this keeps Mongolians well separated from the Chinese to show "who is the boss", but also makes the babies as tough as our pass generations. If we have a "Half Chinese and Half Mongolian" baby, they will learn "both" from Mongolian and Chinese, which not only will not make them as strong as the full Mongolians, but also transfer the weaknesses of a Chinese onto them. I agree that Mongolians should be treated higher than Chinese, if we perform the same crime, a Chinese should have harsher punishments than Mongolians, yes this is unfair, but unfairness sometimes is a necessity. I agree with the single coinage and currency option, since the system proved successful even in now modern days. I disagree with Kublai Khan's action of letting his son be educated under Confucius's philosophies, this only made him weaker under such educations, which I believe led to a weak education to Kublai Khan's grandson. So when his grandson ruled the Mongolians, he fails to execute necessary tasks and orders efficiently, which led to the fall of the Yuan Dynasty. In final Conglomeration, Kublai Khan was extremely successful in ruling his empire, but he lost when he allowed the philosophies of Confucius to reach his son.

Um, could you not be so lazy as to directly copy from your social studies homework?
ReplyDeleteYou are not actually Mongolian, as far as I am aware.
So how is this lazy? I'm posting what I've written, how does this matter? It's my opinion, my choice :) and i find this might be useful for quite a few people not to mention the long term copy fan (Chris) :DDD
ReplyDeleteo btw, glad ur back LOL :DDDD
You phrase your opinion as if we should segregate Chinese and Mongolian NOW. We are not in the Yuan Dynasty.
ReplyDeleteOr maybe this might have been caused by a tense shift. In that case I invite you to revise your post so that all verbs concerning the past are in past tense.

ReplyDeleteSo do you believed that Taipei citizens should only talk to people living in Taipei, and they'll get dumb when they talk to people from Tainan? Or do you believe if you talk to anyone whose last name isn't the same as yours you become stupid?
ReplyDeleteHow do you suppose Mongolians were better than Han Chinese?
I believe Eddie does not actually hold these opinions.
ReplyDeletechris as a matter of fact Mongolians are better than Chinese simply because they defeated the Chinese and conquered them, and plainly that is enough.
ReplyDeleteThen the Chinese drove the Mongolians out again, and to this day socioeconomic inequalities maintain the low status of Mongolians.
ReplyDeleteThe Chinese backstabbed us, and that is not a win. You can not say you won because not both team knows that they were in the "game".
ReplyDeletewho's "us", or who are "us"?
ReplyDeleteI did not win anything, I am merely pointing out a historical fact. And so the Mongolians current situation is completely caused by the Chinese "backstabbing"? And why could the Mongols not prevent such a "backstabbing"?
ReplyDeletesorry, my mind is still stuck in the debate in Asian Studies that i had yesterday (I was a Mongolian). Apologies for the misleading.
