元朝是中国历史上首个由少数民族建立的统一王朝，在中国历史上有很重要的地位。

北国风光，千里冰封，万里雪飘。

望长城内外，惟余莽莽；大河上下，顿失滔滔。山舞银蛇，原驰蜡象，欲与天公试比高。须晴日，看红装素裹，分外妖娆。江山如此多娇，引无数英雄竞折腰。惜秦皇汉武，略输文采；唐宗宋祖，稍逊风骚。

一代天骄，成吉思汗，只识弯弓射大雕。

俱往矣，数风流人物，还看今朝。

元朝

由于是一个马背上的民族，流寇主义比较强，文化底蕴不高，缺乏有效的统治制度，尽管能打，却是短命的。

多次发动对外战争，占领东亚金朝的大片领土，并灭亡西夏、西辽及中亚的花剌子模，其征服足迹远抵东欧的黑海海滨，征服了大半个亚欧大陆，三十多个国家和地区，蒙古帝国雄极一时。

虽然时间不长，蒙古政权仅有162年，从忽必烈定国号元开始历时98年，元朝前身是成吉思汗建立的大蒙古国，蒙古人好战善战，不断对外扩张疆域，靠武力解决所有问题，成吉思汗也在对西夏的远征中去世。再善战的王朝，皇帝的寿命也不长，短短的90多年里皇帝就有11位。再强盛的国家，武力过度必然元气浪费，穷兵黩武成为元朝灭亡的导火索。

元代疆域十分辽阔，兵不戍边，是中国古代史上对外关系主动又广泛时期。

元代是南北文化大融合的激烈时期，大多数知识分子看不到未来，而感到迷茫。由于很多传统文化被撕裂，元代的平民文化又是十分繁荣的，是一个文化大融合的时代，唐诗宋词，元曲和明清小说是中国古代文学史上的三大瑰宝。元代绘画抽象简阔，且气势恢宏，草木灵动，至今仍然是中国画的主流风格。元代的制瓷业十分繁荣，风格更加开放，从幽蓝神采的元青花陶瓷到海水般深邃的霁蓝釉陶瓷，在中国古代艺术品中留下浓厚的一笔。

用武力建立的元朝事实上曾经辉煌过！

North scenery, thousands of miles of ice, thousands of miles of snow.

Looking inside and outside the Great Wall, I can see nothing but Mangmang; Up and down the river, suddenly lost the torrent. The mountain dances Silver Snake, originally gallops the wax elephant, wants to compare with the God to try high. On a sunny day, it is particularly enchanting to see red and plain clothes. There are so many beautiful rivers and mountains, which make countless heroes bow down. He cherished Qin emperor and Han Wu, but lost his literary talent; Tang Zong, Song Zu, a little less coquettish.

Genghis Khan, a proud generation, only knew how to shoot big sculptures with curved bow.

All are past and gone; we look to this age for truly great men.

yuan dynasty

Because it is a nation on horseback, it has strong roving banditism, low cultural heritage, and lacks an effective ruling system. Although it can fight, it is short-lived.

He launched many foreign wars, occupied a large area of the Jin Dynasty in East Asia, and destroyed hualazimo in Xixia, Xiliao and Central Asia. His conquest footprint reached as far as the Black Sea coast of Eastern Europe, conquered more than half of the Eurasian continent, more than 30 countries and regions, and the Mongolian Empire was extremely powerful.

Although the time is not long, the Mongolian regime lasted only 162 years. It lasted 98 years since Kublai Khan named the state yuan. The predecessor of the Yuan Dynasty was the great Mongolia established by Genghis Khan. The Mongols were warlike and good at fighting. They constantly expanded their territory and solved all problems by force. Genghis Khan also died in the expedition to Xixia. No matter how wary the dynasty is, the life span of the emperor is not long. In a short period of more than 90 years, there are 11 emperors. No matter how powerful a country is, excessive force is bound to waste its vitality. Militarism became the fuse of the destruction of the Yuan Dynasty.

The Yuan Dynasty, with a vast territory and no garrison, was a period of active and extensive foreign relations in ancient Chinese history.

The Yuan Dynasty was a period of intense cultural integration between the north and the south. Most intellectuals were confused because they could not see the future. Because many traditional cultures have been torn apart, the civilian culture of Yuan Dynasty is very prosperous, which is an era of cultural integration. Tang poetry, Song Ci, Yuan Qu and novels of Ming and Qing Dynasties are three treasures in the history of ancient Chinese literature. Yuan Dynasty painting is abstract, simple and broad, and the momentum is magnificent, and the plants are flexible, which is still the mainstream style of Chinese painting. The porcelain industry of the Yuan Dynasty was very prosperous, and its style was more open. From the blue and white porcelain of the Yuan Dynasty to the deep blue glazed porcelain of the sea, it left a strong impression in ancient Chinese art.

In fact, the Yuan Dynasty, which was established by force, was once brilliant!
