1、 The harm caused by the closed nature of the imperial examination system is not only the lack of mathematics, but even the Four Barbarians Pavilion established by Zhu Yuanzhang cannot continue, which means there are no talents who understand foreign languages and scripts.
2、 Siyiguan is a government office under the Ministry of Rites, dedicated to cultivating talents who are proficient in various languages, similar to the current Foreign Language Institute and Translation Bureau. However, due to the implementation of the "no sea" and "no border" policies, the Ming Dynasty's exchanges with countries such as Japan and Mongolia decreased, and the opportunities for Japanese, Korean, and Mongolian speakers to be used were greatly reduced.
3、 The imperial guards and imperial hospitals of the Ming Dynasty were almost all family businesses passed down from generation to generation, without any fresh blood injection, and they also did not want fresh blood input to take away their rice bowls. Treating the technology industry as a rice bowl is not enough to develop technology.
4、 If we only talk about social openness and progress, the Ming Dynasty was one of the best eras in Chinese history, but the Ming government was also one of the most closed and stubborn imperial courts in Chinese history.
5、 In the late Ming Dynasty, Xu Guangqi and Matteo Ricci translated the first six volumes of "Elements of Geometry", and the latter few volumes were not published until the seventh year of the Xianfeng reign of the Qing Dynasty (1857), a total of 250 years later.
