Why is it that the Yongle period is not as well known as other prosperous periods in China?

In terms of the actual level achieved, the Yongle era is more qualified than the Kaiyuan era of the Tang Dynasty. However, due to many reasons, the Manchu and Qing Dynasties have been deliberately belittling the Ming Dynasty for a long time, and the Ming Dynasty’s civil servants were hostile to the emperor. The requirements are the most demanding in history, so Yongle's prosperity is not famous.

If you look at the records in the history books, you will know that the Ming Dynasty during the Yongle period was not only powerful, but also highly economically prosperous

In Yongle, the given address was settled with silk, lacquer, and hematoxylin. , Cuiyu, paper fan, Shen, Su, and Anxi incense are rented on behalf of Fu. The Li people in Qiongzhou, Guangdong, and the Yao people in Zhaoqing are attached to the area, and their wealth is higher than that in the mainland. The world's original tax and grain are more than 300,000 shi, and silk banknotes are more than 200,000. At that time, there was a lot of wealth in the city, and people were rich and generous. Millions of kilograms of rice and millet were transported to the capital. The warehouses in prefectures and counties were so rich that they were so red that they were inedible. When the year ends, companies often issue millet loans first and then hear about them.

That is to say, there is so much food that it will rot. If there is a natural disaster, the government can provide relief directly without asking for instructions, and then report it.
