The Western Han Dynasty was extremely prosperous, bordering Korea in the east, Jiaozhi in the south, Congling in the west, and deserts in the north. The land area reached 6.09 million square kilometers. It is two-thirds of the current China. At this time, northern Vietnam, the Korean Peninsula, and parts of Central Asia are already the territory of the Western Han Dynasty.

Eastern Han Dynasty

The Three Kingdoms (Eastern Han Dynasty)

After the Song Dynasty was reunified, the territory was also very small. During the Northern Song Dynasty, the territory was about 5 million square kilometers. After the Southern Song Dynasty, the territory of the Southern Song Dynasty was only 2.2 million square kilometers, which is equivalent to one-fifth of the current China,

Yuan Dynasty

The territory of the Yuan dynasty is the broadest dynasty in Chinese history. Its territory once spanned the Eurasian continent. Today, Siberia, Russia, was the territory of the Yuan dynasty, with a total area of ​​22.67 million square kilometers, 2.4 times that of China today. At that time, many countries in Central Asia were the territory of our Yuan Dynasty.

Ming Dynasty

Qing Dynasty

After the Qing Dynasty arrived, the territory expanded again. When Emperor Kangxi was unified, the total area had reached more than 13 million square kilometers, which was 1.3 times today.

Although the map of the Republic of China was one more Mongolian than that of New China, in 1921, Mongolia was already independent with the support of the Soviet Union.

New China-People's Republic of China

The map of New China is like a rooster, and the map of China cannot be missing at all!

Finally, let us borrow the words of our ancestors to say: "Those who commit crimes against me will be punishable by the Chinese; every inch of China's territory must be contested, and there is no less!
