Population de la chine entre 1500 et 1800
 

The population was getting large, in 1644 China had about 125 million people living on their land, and by the 1800’s there were about 400 million people in China.

The political system was perfected through the spread of education, using Confucianism taught in these schools.

The Confucian way was the way of most people, the father was the head of the house hold in Confucian teachings, so what the father of the family said, goes.

The role of Confucianism in China helped literacy because people learned to read to be able to read Confucius teachings. Since literacy grew, so did bookstores, and publishing flourished also.
