Abstract

Since the middle of the Ming Dynasty, the market commodity economy was active, private wealth accumulated rapidly, and the relationship between social production and life had undergone profound changes. However, the rigid centralized system and the corrupt system of government officials promoted the severe polarization and division of social wealth distribution, which intensified social conflicts and eventually led to the demise of the Ming Dynasty. This article analyzes the wealth structure of Chinese traditional society from the wealth distribution of the clan aristocrats, officials, and wealthy businessmen, and discusses the influence of this structure on the development of Chinese history.
