This is How You Should Read History Carefully: Collected Works of Gu Cheng's History of the Ming and Qing Dynasties (3 Volumes in Total)

About This Novel
Li Zicheng's general Li Yan doesn't actually exist? Is Shen Wansan, the "richest man in the Ming Dynasty", actually from the Yuan Dynasty? ... Behind these seemingly astonishing views are the results of Mr. Gu Cheng's extremely careful exfiltration of historical data and extremely rigorous reasoning and research. For example, when he wrote the article "Questioning Li Yan", he not only looked through various archives and anthologies, but even consulted more than a thousand local chronicles, and thus believed that Li Yan, who was recorded in many historical records, was actually fictional. In the article "Research on the Deeds of Shen Wansan and His Family", he pointed out that various historical materials, including "History of the Ming Dynasty", were incorrect. Shen Wansan, the "richest man in the Ming Dynasty", was actually from the Yuan Dynasty. Articles such as "A New Exploration on the Number of Cultivated Land in the Early Ming Dynasty", "The Transformation of the Guard System in the Qing Dynasty", "The Territory Management System of the Ming Empire" and "On the Wei Book in the Ming Dynasty" have an unshakable classic status in the academic world because of their pioneering contributions. Open this book, and Gu Cheng, a representative of contemporary history research, will lead you to exhaust the historical materials, investigate to the root, conduct rigorous research, and question repeatedly!
