Question

I promote the ways of the ancient Sagely Emperors and Perspicacious Kings, so as to accord with the will of

Heaven and Earth. I wish all of the distant lands and foreign regions to have their proper places. Those who
respond to the influences and move towards culture are not singular. It has long inclined towards Chinese
culture and been accepting of civilizing influences. When the Imperial orders arrived, the people there went
down on their hands and knees and were greatly excited. They loyally came to allegiance and then, looking to
Heaven, they bowed and all said: "How fortunate we are that the civilizing influences of the Chinese sages
should reach us. For the last several years, the country has bad fertile soil, and the people have had houses in
which to live, enough fish and turtles to eat, and enough cloth and silk to make clothes. Parents have looked
after their children and the young have respected their elders.. Everything has been in bountiful supply, several
times more bountiful than in ordinary times. There have been no destructive winds, and damaging rains have not
occurred. Confusion has been eliminated and there is no evil to be found. This is all indeed the result of the
civilizing influences of China

"WHY DOES THE AUTHOR SUGGEST PROSPERITY HAS BEEN BROUGHT TO CHINA?"

Answer 1

This is my answer:

The author suggests that prosperity has been brought to China by having the needs necessary for a growth economy. In the paragraph above, it states “For the last several years, the country has had fertile soil, and the people have had houses in which to live, enough fish and turtles to eat, and enough cloth and silk to make clothes.” This sentence help by explaining that the people had homes, and were stable. This means more tax for the government, and that leads to economic growth.

Sorry if I am late or anything.
