Composition on reading "The Back of the Villa"

During the reign of Emperor Kangxi, a minister once wrote a letter suggesting repairing the Great Wall. However, Emperor Kangxi believed that since the Qin Dynasty built the Great Wall, the Han and Tang Dynasties The repairs in the Song and Song dynasties failed to stabilize the border and eliminate border troubles, and the Great Wall in the late Ming Dynasty could not stop the Qing army from entering the customs. What's more, building the Great Wall would waste people and money, so Emperor Kangxi rejected the suggestion to repair the Great Wall.

But he ordered the construction of another "Great Wall" - Chengde Summer Resort. This villa is a concentrated expression of Emperor Kangxi's "soft and hard" foreign policy towards the northern border. The "hard" part is hunting in the Mulan Paddock near the villa every year, which is also a "military exercise" to scare the ethnic minorities on the northern border; the "soft" part is the construction of a temple complex near the villa far away from the capital to facilitate communication with the northern border. Various ethnic minorities have established friendly relations that often come and go.

I sincerely admire Emperor Kangxi’s brilliant diplomatic strategy. He faced the outside world with an open and positive attitude, constantly absorbed foreign culture, and continued to learn and progress. It was in this way that the Qing Dynasty’s rule was It was consolidated and the prosperous age of Kangxi and Qianlong appeared. It is a pity that his successors were not as good as the previous ones. Yongzheng was a conscientious and conservative monarch, but Qianlong was a monarch who was overjoyed and proud of his achievements. He stayed in his own way and closed himself off to the country. From then on, the Qing Dynasty began to turn from prosperity to decline. None of the subsequent rulers, Jiajing, Xianfeng, Daoguang, and Cixi, inherited Emperor Kangxi's talents and strategies. Each of them was more cowardly and incompetent than the last. As Cixi ordered the closure of the Chengde Summer Resort, Emperor Kangxi's "Great Wall" finally collapsed. Got it!

I think that no matter what dynasty or what nation you are, you should have an open and positive attitude like Emperor Kangxi to constantly absorb foreign culture and learn and make progress. Only in this way can a country Only then can the nation be prosperous and strong, and the nation be able to develop and progress.
