- meric 11y agoSounds funny now, but it happened in the early-Han, early-Song, early-Ming and early-Qing. In each of those times the new government had fewer regulations to begin with, needed popular support (to raise more armies and crush the remaining opposition) and would pass reforms that would allow prosperity to happen. Each of those periods are considered one of China's golden ages.
