A Closer Look at the Three Hundred Years of the Ming Dynasty

Digging deep into the historical roots from historical appearances

This is the second time I have read an article that is easy to understand and comprehensively and objectively explains the Ming Dynasty. The first time was about the Ming Dynasty in Mingyue!

It is inevitable that history will be modified by future generations. After all, the butt determines the head. What people can see is that the official history is what this era wants everyone to see. Everyone sees history differently. Those who read history are actually reading their own souls. I really appreciate the author's relative objectivity and cultural conscience. In addition to being full of flesh and blood, the author has an extra skeleton to support the flesh and blood. In this impetuous era, this is rare and valuable!

Very good book! The history of the Ming Dynasty was not misled by the Manchus and the Qing Dynasty, and the true history of the Ming Dynasty was basically restored.

The Ming Dynasty was a very magical dynasty. Because he was a peasant who rose up in the last years of the previous dynasty, when people's livelihood was in decline, political corruption, and social unrest, overthrew the rules established by princes and generals, and established an era in which ordinary people became emperors. Of course, the person who can become the emperor is by no means an ordinary person. This book introduces the process of the Ming Dynasty from its establishment, rise, gradual decline, and finally its demise. After reading this book, you will have a clearer understanding of the history and society of the Ming Dynasty. This is the saying that reading history makes people wise.

It is easy to understand and is based on the introduction of some historical figures. It is well-founded. After reading it, I can't help but sigh. The Ming Dynasty died due to corruption, but this is also the law of the imperial system. The destiny of the country is entrusted to one person, and often this person has more shortcomings than advantages.

I was profoundly affected by Zhou Chen's description in the book: If we talk about the officials that people hate most, apart from corrupt officials, they must be confused officials. For example, those who are muddle-headed in doing things or sluggish in solving cases will naturally be scolded when they are in office, and even if they are a hundred years away, they will be scolded in dramas. For example, in the famous opera piece "Fifteen Guan", there is such a confused official: Governor Zhou Chen. This man was stupid and stubborn, and he almost killed a good man by mistake on the stage. Its absurd image has left a deep impression on generations of theater fans. But comparing history, we must admit that Mr. Zhou was wronged this week.

It is plain, easy to remember, objective and easy to understand, and it has revised my personal views on many people and things in Ming history.

In early 1368, Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang overthrew the Yuan Dynasty and proclaimed himself emperor, and the country was named Daming. After the rule of Hongwu, the prosperous age of Yongle, the Tumubao Incident, Hongzhi Zhongxing, and the Donglin Party Struggle, Li Zicheng invaded Beijing in 1644, Emperor Chongzhen hanged himself, the Ming Dynasty fell, and the dynasty rose and fell over more than three hundred years. This book systematically and professionally narrates the history of the Ming Dynasty from three aspects: politics, culture, and economy. It provides an in-depth analysis and explanation of historical figures and events, rectifies some exaggerated historical facts, and objectively evaluates whitewashed historical facts.

A very good book that shows the rise and fall of the Ming Dynasty from the life stories of different characters.

It is short and concise, and the writing is concise. If you lose your focus for a moment, you will miss a lot of content. It is another excellent popular historical book that I have read recently. In my opinion, this book is a supplement to "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty". It gives me a better understanding of the history of the Ming Dynasty, and the image of historical figures is more objective and three-dimensional.

History is a mirror. Reading history will reveal the present. Some things are constantly happening in reincarnations, like rings without any reason, just like the wheels of history, rolling forward.

The book narrates and sorts out the history of the Ming Dynasty for more than three hundred years. The author presents historical events and characters from a more objective perspective, allowing readers to gradually change their impressions of some things and people that have been exaggerated and whitewashed. At the same time, after reading it carefully, I think this book is more suitable for people with a certain historical foundation and understanding of the Ming Dynasty, because the focus in the book is not on historical events, but on the details of the events. Through the author's narration, I not only gained an understanding of that dynasty, but also gained a deeper understanding of people and events.

The author wrote very well, and I learned a lot of knowledge and some unknown stories, but it was just a bit missing, not enough to read! I hope the author writes more similar books so that we can learn from history!

Only by not taking a stand can we learn from history and know the ups and downs!

The writing is very realistic, but as I read it intermittently, I felt that the charm was missing.

This book has a very thorough analysis of the history of the Ming Dynasty.

Take history as a mirror, read more and learn more, and penetrate it into every aspect of life.

The author shows us the rise and fall of the Ming Dynasty in simple, interesting and clear language! !

This book is very rich in content. The author carefully sorted out the history of the Ming Dynasty from many aspects, giving me a more comprehensive understanding of the Ming Dynasty. Moreover, the analysis in the book is very objective, especially the correction of some distorted historical figures, which allowed me to see a more realistic Ming Dynasty. It feels like chatting with the author, which is very interesting!

Language, refined humor. Very readable.

See you coming here

Wonderful, but too short

Very detailed historical novel

I almost thought that if Wei Zhongxian was not dead, the Ming Dynasty would not be destroyed. You corrected me.

Yes, but some historical figures were not mentioned.

I got to know a lot of people in the Ming Dynasty and gained a lot of experience.

It's good. I learned a lot about the Ming Dynasty that I didn't know about.

I read it with gusto and couldn't put it down. The only drawback is that it's a little short!

The Ming Dynasty is indeed the closest great dynasty to us. After reading the author's book, I feel from the bottom of my heart that the Qing Dynasty was indeed a step backward for our nation, and many good historical experiences and characters were hidden. Fortunately, through the author's interpretation, I got to know the Ming Dynasty again and updated my understanding.
