Sida 2 - Then came pestilence and famine, symptoms of overpopulation, until life became increasingly more intolerable and revolution or war broke out. This temporarily relieved the pressure of population and brought a new dynasty into being. Population continued to decrease until it reached the lowest possible level, the bottom of the cycle. Then another cycle began, and the cyclical trends were thus repeated, each lasting several hundred years, the length of time being largely determined by the severity...
Sida 2 - Chinese population changes in the past have been cyclical rather than linear and that the cyclical trends may be roughly explained as follows: At the beginning of a new dynasty, when peace and order were maintained, population normally increased by the excess of births over deaths, and cultural development advanced apace through the division of labor. As time went on, the increased and increasing density, coupled with the lack of inventions and improvements in farming technology, gradually intensified...

Sida 3 - The brief chronicle of a Chinese dynasty is very simple : a Chinese general or a barbarian conqueror establishes a peace which is usually a peace of exhaustion.

Gradually, however, weak administration and corrupt government choke the flow of trade and taxes. Discontent and poverty spread. The last emperor of the dynasty is often vicious...
Sida 1 - ... fundamental dynamics of Chinese history. Even today historians are only beginning to grope their way toward the establishment of such useful generalizations as are afforded in Western history by its division into ancient, medieval, and modern periods. It must be admitted, on the other hand, that there is considerable validity to the Chinese concept of the dynastic cycle, if one interprets it as a somewhat superficial political pattern that overlay the more fundamental technological, economic,...
Sida 4 - ... just unfortunate or weak but were often described as evil and debauched, like the last \kings of the Hsia and Shang. Actually, the imperial lines invariably degenerated. The dynastic founder naturally had to be a man of great ability and force, and his original drive was likely to carry on for a few generations. Later rulers, raised in a luxurious and intrigue-ridden court, were more likely to be weaklings. Usually the dynasty produced at least one later strong man who either brought the regime...

Sida 1 - The concept of the dynastic cycle, in other words, has been a major block to the understanding of the fundamental dynamics of Chinese history. Even today historians are only beginning to grope their way toward the establishment of such useful generalizations as are afforded in Western history by its division into ancient, medieval, and modern periods. It must be admitted, on the other hand, that there is considerable validity to the Chinese...
