明朝中后期的张居正改革在张居正死后极短的时间内失败。导致这一失败的原因很多。从张居正个人角度来讲,他为人刚愎自用、偏听偏信,致使未能选择合适的改革后继者,溜须拍马,奸佞之徒当道;他还勾结宦官冯保,接受滥赏和败坏科举,引来朝臣非议和弹劾。个人原因促成了张居正改革的失败。而张居正改革失败的根本原因,在于改革触动了士人阶层和豪强地主的根本利益,招致强烈反对;土地兼并从根本上削弱了明王朝的经济基础,明王朝已经日薄西山,张居正改革无法挽回明王朝衰败的命运。 The reform of Zhang Juzheng in the middle and late Ming Dynasty failed within a short period of time after Zhang Juzheng’s death. There are many reasons for this failure. From Zhang Juzheng’s personal point of view, he was just a man who used his own word and listened to prejudices, resulting in the failure to choose the appropriate successor for reform. They should follow suit and lead the evil spirits. He also colluded with Feng Bao, Criticism and impeachment. Personal reasons contributed to the failure of Zhang Juzheng reform. However, the fundamental reason for the failure of Zhang Juzheng’s reform is that the reform touched the fundamental interests of the elite and tyrant landlords and led to strong opposition. Land mergers fundamentally weakened the economic foundation of the Ming Dynasty. The Ming dynasty was already in a dilemma and Zhang Juzheng’s reforms were irreparable to the Ming dynasty The fate of decay.
