About This Novel
This book is based solely on first-hand cultural relics and original historical materials. While respecting the complexity of history, this book adheres to the following principles: 1. Do not deify the Ming Dynasty: affirm the Ming Dynasty's civilizational achievements (Zheng He's voyages to the West, Yongle Grand Ceremony, technological leadership), but also face up to its institutional shortcomings (factory guard politics, imperial autocracy, corruption in the late Ming Dynasty); 2. Do not discredit the Qing Dynasty: It not only exposes the fact that the Eight Banners of the Qing Dynasty brutally ruled the Chinese nation, but also acknowledges the Qing Dynasty's objective contribution in establishing the territory of modern China and integrating multi-ethnic groups; 3. Reject the nihility of history: Every historical statement must be supported by cultural relics or historical data, and should not be made up out of thin air or incited by emotions; 4. Rational analysis of "Mourning": We should not blindly follow the romantic imagination of the "Mourning School" on the Internet, but also respect the people's emotional identification with the righteousness of Chinese civilization. But the most important thing is to reveal a fundamental fact: The Ming and Qing Dynasties were not only a change of dynasties, but also a major turning point in the development direction of Chinese civilization. The path of openness, pluralism, and the emergence of civil society opened by the Ming Dynasty was interrupted by the Qing Dynasty's two hundred years of isolation, confinement, and high-pressure rule. To this day, we are still digesting the historical consequences of this turn of events. This is not "mourning the Ming Dynasty" or "anti-Qing". This is evidenced by cultural relics and gives China an unobstructed truth.
