Ming Dynasty (2 Volumes in Total)

"All Quiet in Peking" is a classic masterpiece by the author Liu Heping. As a historical novel, it richly reflects the power game on the political battlefield during that special period of the Ming Dynasty, and tells the story of a tortuous, turbulent but fruitful history. The plot of this book is smooth and compact, and the writing style is vivid and humane. The author uses vivid words to describe a vivid map to us, allowing us to feel the opportunities and endeavors that everyone possesses, as well as the characters' wisdom and ingenuity. It's really worth reading.

The novel has 40 chapters, which is still relatively short. However, the characters are distinct and the contradictions are intensive and prominent. The characters are portrayed closely around the theme, the division of camps, the angle of considering the problem, and the way to deal with it are all thought-provoking. In addition, other things are never rambling. It's a good novel worth reading

I have finished it, and after watching the TV series, I read the novel again. The beauty lies in the fact that it is established in the bones, so its appearance is born from the outside. This book is rich in details, the characters are three-dimensional, and the images are vivid and vivid on the paper. When reading, the first thing is to read the meaning. When the meaning comes, the heart will arrive. When the heart arrives, the spirit will know. When the spirit knows, there will be enlightenment. Only by observing the things in the book according to the way of thinking and the mistakes of the mind and learning the calligraphy of the saints can it be considered that a book has been read.

This book vividly shows the difficult life of the people and the morbid officialdom during the Jiajing Emperor period of the Ming Dynasty. A man named Hai Gangfeng pierced this seemingly prosperous bubble with a sharp sword. The plot has ups and downs and endless aftertaste.

Perfect work, thank you to the author. Shocking work! A novel, a piece of history! It profoundly depicts the advantages of loyalty, filial piety, diligence, uprightness, and perseverance of the ancients of our Chinese nation, as well as the disadvantages of selfishness, greed, domineering, infighting, and flattery. Human nature is complex, and countless complex human natures form a torrent of humanity that rolls forward and becomes the long river of history.

The writing is upright and peaceful, and the plot is ups and downs. Hidden beneath the pen and ink is the rumble of the wheels of history. We cannot know the history buried for hundreds of years, but under the poet's elaboration, you will involuntarily believe that this was the situation at that time. Jiajing appears in the eyes of the world as such a typical and maverick ruler. Perhaps readers will not have seen the wind, frost, rain, snow, and sunny weather at that time, but after closing the book, the figures of Zhao Zhenji, Hai Rui, and Hu Zongxian appear before their eyes like a movie. Several times in this life, the past has been forgotten, but Yamagata is still pillowed in the cold current. Such a historical segment, such twists and turns, is qualified to prove the complexity of human nature, and also has the power to warn countless comers.

Like . This author has a big heart, and each character has three dimensions and personality. There is no "black and white" and it is in line with "human nature". It was really not easy for these people to live during the "Jiajing" period.

The first time I read Liu Heping's book, it was really exciting and exciting. The characters created with ink are full-bodied, each has its own characteristics, and is convincing. The plots, palace battles, and competition between various forces in the story are complicated and treacherous. There are big things in mind and small things branching out, and they can always be connected in series without leaving any trace. What's even more rare is that this article has a lofty position and a lofty intention. In the article, Hu Zongxian and Haigangfeng are indeed unparalleled national scholars and the backbone of the nation, and their deeds are touching. People are affectionate and hide their faces several times. In addition, the story draws lessons from the past and is of far-reaching significance. May God bless China and may our motherland be prosperous and strong now.

After watching the TV series, I came back to read the original work, and suddenly I found that I still enjoyed watching the original work. Many details flashed by in the TV series, but were expressed in words, like grass gray snakes, disconnected threads, and profound meaning.

A rare historical novel that is both rigorous and vivid! Great👍🏻 Still unfinished!

Ceiling, there is no doubt that both the book and the play are worth watching and savoring again and again.

Good book, compact and exciting plot, smooth writing

The language level is extraordinary, the language is concise, the description is vivid, and the picture has a strong sense of being there, as if you were there. The plot is compact and coherent. I have read hundreds of novels and this is by far the best. Worth recommending.

I watched the TV series and read the book. The TV series was very realistic, with a bunch of old actors, and the plot has not been changed. After reading the book, I felt even more irritated. Many of the characters' inner scenes are vividly expressed in the text. It's so good. I like it.

It is a rare and good book that allows us to have a certain understanding of the Ming Dynasty and the famous figure in history, Hai Rui, an upright official, who prayed for the people and cared about the people. His spirit of caring for the people warmed and moved us. His merits will be recorded in history forever!

I finally squeezed out some spare time to read "The Ming Dynasty 1566" recommended by a book friend. I was so excited that I thought I should write something to record my mood at the moment. What really amazed me about this book was its profound analysis of power and human nature - especially Jiajing and Hai Rui, two souls who stand at the opposite poles of human nature. What Jiajing brought to me was an almost chilling feeling. He completely reshaped my imagination of "power": no need to roar, or even show up, just one sentence "clouds are in the sky, water is in the bottle", or a fateful sound of a copper chime, and the whole court became the echo wall of his will. He is not "playing" power, he is the embodiment of power. This extreme and cold control brings not hatred, but an almost breathless awe - it turns out that the supreme power is to become the rule itself. Hai Rui, Hai Gangfeng. Just like the name, it is as upright and as tall as a mountain peak. Seeing him carrying the coffin with sparse words and words like swords, I couldn't help but clench my fists and raise my arms, and my blood surged up. It can be seen that he was filial to his wife and stubborn and hurt his relatives, which made people suffocating. But in the end, he hit the high wall with his body, only a sliver of light came out, but he was dripping with blood - the extreme loneliness and exhaustion made all simple praise and criticism useless. He is not a hero, he is the ideal itself, burning alone in an era that cannot tolerate ideals. What's even more unforgettable are the faces that appear as the pages of the book are turned, each one as vivid as life. Zhao Zhenji's words of "suffering for the common people" easily lifted the robe of respectability of some "clean people"; every time Hu Zongxian stumbled between loyalty and practicality, he sighed that he was "incompetent"; the powerful traitor Yan Song also revealed a secret in the rainy night conversation. The old man's fear and desolation at the end; Yang Jinshui fell from the top of power, but left a corner of stability for others in a desperate situation; Yun Niang lived like a cattail leaf and a willow, but she also lived her life with flexibility and stubbornness on the chessboard of destiny controlled by men... The most remarkable thing about this book is that it doesn't judge anyone easily. It just pulls you into that era and lets you watch each of them, within their own limitations and dilemmas, make the only choice they can at the moment. I was speechless for a long time after reading it. I was in awe of the thick text, but also deeply sighed for every shining or dying soul in that era. I can't wait to turn on the TV series and meet this group of people again in the light and shadow. Finally, please forgive me for my shallow knowledge and limitations of writing power, which prevent me from truly writing this book. I have a thousand words to say, but I just want to say: Recommend, go see it!

TV is worth watching and books are worth reading. After understanding the strategies and calculations of the people in the book, you will have more martial arts skills to deal with in society. Recommended!

I watched the TV series first and found it interesting, and then read the book. The book is much better than the TV series. Maybe it's because I don't fully understand the performance method, but I always think the book is better. From a personal preference, I like to look at human nature and focus on each character's personality traits and behavior. As the events progress, the character traits are displayed wonderfully. Some of the rules of social operation revealed in the book are worth thinking about.

The characters are vivid and flesh-and-blood The forces of the Qingliu eunuch party and the strict party are criss-crossed and stand on their respective positions. I especially like the debate between Hai Rui and Jiajing, Zhao Zhenji's answers, and the section about Yan Shifan's "Two Capitals and Thirteen Provinces in the Ming Dynasty".

I have read it several times. The characters in this book are outstanding, various interest groups are constantly fighting secretly, the emperor's intentions, and the entanglements of interest groups are concentrated. Sometimes the results are unexpected. It is worth reading carefully!

I didn't think it at first, but it gets better and better as I watch it. It's really suitable for being adapted into a film and television drama, and it's very attractive. The protagonist of this book is probably Hai Rui. Because the emphasis is on him, I feel that the capable generals of his time are not as outstanding.

The description of the characters in the book makes people feel as if they are coming to their senses when reading. Things in the Ming Dynasty were the most difficult, because many things affected the whole body, and they were all routines. The Ming Dynasty was the dynasty with the most fierce struggle between monarchs and ministers. Starting from Lao Zhu, the tone of this struggle was set. Lao Zhu did it alone, and those who followed became more and more unsuccessful. He could only let the eunuchs follow him to do it. The people suffered.

History and literature are sometimes unclearly distinguished: history details the merits and demerits of characters, while literature writes people vividly! Jiajing painted life, and Hai Rui painted life, but they were both given emotions! But if you have emotions, will you lose the truth? This novel gives Jiajing a lot of points, Yan Song a lot of points, and Hai Rui is also rated high! Some people have also been weakened. History makes people wise, and literature makes people mixed with emotions, but it also makes people happy physically and mentally, because they have become flesh and blood, sentimental and righteous, courageous and knowledgeable... The merits and demerits depend on the human heart, those who know others are wise, and those who know themselves are wise. He who conquers others is powerful, and he who conquers himself is strong. Those who are content are rich, those who are strong are ambitious. No matter what is gained, nothing is lost! Thanks to the author, they are all educating people!

The original work of the classic film and television drama is worth reading. The TV version is almost the same as the original work, with almost no major changes. The TV series did not film the detail of Hae-run waiting for his mother.

This is my first time to read a historical book. The characters in it are vividly depicted, and many details are well written. Great support!

A true "epic of political philosophy", Liu Heping used seven years of ingenuity to sharpen his sword, and wrote the events of the Jiajing Dynasty in a magnificent yet detailed way. The book uses fictional national policies to connect real historical contradictions. National treasury shortages, land annexation, and frequent Japanese invasions. Behind various crises are the imperial power's control of the bureaucracy and the system's imprisonment of individuals. Every dialogue in the book is a game of power, and the fate of every character is a microcosm of the times: Shen Yishi's tragedy reveals "prosperity, but the people suffer", Yang Jinshui's madness hides the helplessness of the eunuch group, and Jiajing's "the water of the Yangtze River is clear and the water of the Yellow River is turbid" reveals the pragmatism of autocratic imperial power. It is not only regarded as the "Bible of Machiavellianism", but also has vitality that transcends time and space due to its in-depth discussion of people-centered ideas and system criticism. No matter when you read it, you can get a glimpse of realistic thinking in the mirror of history.

The characters are rich, the depictions are meticulous, the writing is sophisticated, and the scene descriptions are vivid. It is indeed a book based on the script. The visual sense when reading is still very strong. When watching the TV series at the same time, it is basically the same. The acting skills of the veteran actor are indeed excellent [Like][Like][Love]

A very good book, I was moved to tears several times while reading it. Many people said this was a Machiavellian novel, but I saw real "people", full-blooded people!

The content is substantial, the details are logically described, and the original minimalist and clear records of historical events are used to narrate dynasty stories with clear context, reasonable connections, and vivid characters. It is wise to read history and is well worth a read.
