The population of 24 dynasties in China

The population of 24 dynasties in China is as follows:

Qin dynasty: about 20 million.

During the Warring States Period, the population of Qin, Qi and Chu was about150,000, that of Zhao and Wei was about 7-8 million, and that of Yan and Han was about 4-5 million. Together with other small countries, the population of the six countries in the early Qin Dynasty should be at least 20 million, but it should not exceed 30 million.

Late Western Han Dynasty: about 60 million.

According to Records of the Historian, after the peasant uprising in the late Qin Dynasty and the Chu-Han War, at the beginning of the founding of the Western Han Dynasty, its registered permanent residence was only "twenty-three out of ten" compared with the maximum of 6 million people in the Qin Dynasty. With the continuous strengthening of national strength, by AD 2, the population of the Western Han Dynasty reached 60 million, the highest in history.

Three countries: 8 million.

At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty and the Three Kingdoms period, due to the influence of large-scale wars, the population dropped sharply, with a conservative estimate of less than 8 million, even worse than during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. Cao Cao once described the tragic situation of the people at that time in Hao Li Xing: "Bones are exposed in the wild, but there are no crows in a thousand miles. There are hundreds of people who left the legacy and broke their intestines. "

Early Western Jin Dynasty: 40 million.

In 280 AD, the Western Jin Dynasty was unified, and the national population was restored to160,000. By the beginning of the 4th century, the Western Jin Dynasty was in its heyday, and its population recovered to about 40 million. However, the outbreak of the Eight Kings Rebellion caused the population to drop sharply, with a minimum of about1.2000.

Southern and Northern Dynasties:150,000.

From the Sixteen Kingdoms to the Southern and Northern Dynasties, the population of the North decreased rapidly, and it was only 6.5438+million in the Northern Wei Dynasty. The large-scale migration of northerners to the south increased the population of the Eastern Jin Dynasty and the Southern Dynasties. However, due to the degree of economic development, the population of the Southern Dynasties was only about 5 million in the Liu and Song Dynasties, and it dropped sharply to 2 million after the Hou Jing Rebellion in the Liang Dynasty.

Sui dynasty: 50 million.

After the Sui Dynasty unified the whole country, a very detailed population survey was conducted in the fifth year of Daye (AD 609). The results show that the population of China was about 46 million at that time. Before the chaos at the end of the Sui Dynasty, the population of the Sui Dynasty exceeded 50 million, which should not be a problem.

Tang dynasty: 50 million.

The war at the end of Sui Dynasty reduced the population sharply again, even by more than 50%. In the 13th year of Zhenguan (AD 639), the national population was 654.38+0.2 million.

After 100 years of development, the Tang Dynasty entered a prosperous period. By the fourteenth year of Tianbao (AD 755), the population had risen to 52 million, just exceeding the data of the great cause of the Sui Dynasty. However, after the Anshi Rebellion, the national population dropped sharply to 6.5438+0.7 million.

Late Northern Song Dynasty: 40 million.

During the Northern Song Dynasty, "Wu Xiuwen", there was nothing in the world, commerce promoted economic development, and the population also increased rapidly. During the reign of Song Huizong in the fourth year of Daguan (110), the population of the Northern Song Dynasty was about 46 million. In the same period, Liao was 9 million and Xixia was 3 million.

Southern Song Dynasty: 80 million.

The shift of the economic center of gravity to the south made the economy of the Southern Song Dynasty advance by leaps and bounds, and the population also increased rapidly to about 80 million. In the same period, the population of Jin was 50 million, and that of Xixia was 3 million. Together with some neighboring ethnic minority regimes, the population of China exceeds 65.438+0.4 billion.

Yuan dynasty: 85 million.

The elimination of gold in Mongolia and Xixia led to a sharp drop in population, and the population in the north once lost as much as 80%. When the Yuan Dynasty was unified, the actual population of China was about 70 million, and it increased to 85 million in the middle and late Yuan Dynasty in14th century.

Mid-late Ming Dynasty: 200 million.

Due to the war, the population also dropped sharply in the early Ming Dynasty. However, during the Wanli period in the middle and late Ming Dynasty, the population given by official data was about 60 million. However, due to the widespread concealment of population, it is roughly estimated that the population in the middle and late Ming Dynasty was close to 200 million.

Middle and late Qing Dynasty: 400 million.

The official population data in the early Qing Dynasty was only 6.5438+million. However, with the national peace, the extensive planting and consumption of high-yield crops such as potatoes, corn and sweet potatoes, and the large-scale frontier reclamation, the national population reached 200 million in the Qianlong period and exceeded 400 million for the first time in the Daoguang thirty years (654.38+0850).

Factors affecting population:

1. Birth rate

Birth rate refers to the number of births per thousand people in a certain period of time. A high birth rate means a rapid population growth, while a low birth rate is the opposite. The birth rate is influenced by many factors, such as fertility will, economic conditions, cultural concepts and so on.

2. Mortality rate

Mortality refers to the number of deaths per thousand people in a certain period of time. High mortality will lead to population decline, while low mortality is the opposite. The mortality rate is influenced by many factors, such as medical level, sanitary conditions and diet.

3. Marital status

Marital status plays an important role in population growth. The change of marriage rate and divorce rate will affect the fertility rate, and the change of single rate and late marriage rate will affect the fertility rate and birth rate.

4. Education level

The improvement of education level has a certain inhibitory effect on population growth. People with higher education usually pay more attention to personal development and career planning, and have a relatively low desire to have children.

5. Economic development

The level of economic development has an important influence on population growth. Economic development can improve people's living standards, improve medical and health conditions and reduce mortality. At the same time, it will also affect employment opportunities and income levels, thus affecting the fertility rate.

6. Urban-rural differences

Differences in urban and rural development levels and living conditions will also have an impact on population growth. Generally, the urban population growth is relatively low, while the rural population growth is relatively high.

7. Migrants and floating population

Migration and floating population will have an impact on population size and structure. Migration will lead to an increase in population, and floating population will have an impact on the urbanization process and the distribution of population in urban and rural areas.
