by Monson
About This Novel
"Lecture Notes on the History of the Ming Dynasty" is one of the representative works of Mr. Meng Sen, a pioneer in the study of Ming and Qing history. This handout is compiled based on his lecture notes when he taught at Peking University in the early 1930s. The book is divided into two parts: the first part is a general introduction, which mainly introduces the status of Ming history in historiography and the style of Ming history; the second part is divided into "founding of the country", "Jingnan", "seizing the gate", "discussing rites", "Wanli's desolation" and "heaven". The seven chapters "Chongjian of the Rebellion and Fall of the Two Dynasties" and "The Dislocation of the Southern Ming Dynasty" provide a high-level summary of the historical facts of each period of the Ming Dynasty. They are insightful, detailed and clear in textual research, and have a profound influence in the field of Ming history research.
