The Seven Faces of the Ming Dynasty

The writing style of this book is very unique, as if the author is chatting with you, and it feels very cordial. Moreover, the author's writing style is also very good, and the historical figures are vividly written. I am also a father of two children. When I read this book, I will think about the issue of educating children. Every character in the book has his or her own last resort, and we will also encounter various difficulties and choices in life. Therefore, I feel that this book not only allows us to understand history, but also allows us to draw wisdom from it for life.

Each chapter is wonderfully written and gives people a lot of insight. Zhang Xianzhong and Zhu Yuanzhang are obviously schizophrenic murderers. They are worshiped and remembered by future generations. It is really a tragedy for the national culture! I praise the author's thoughts, which have inspired us deeply.

Unexpectedly, the author's perspective on history is very different from that of most Ming Dynasty historical writers, and his wording is also quite tricky. It is a rare good book. Looking at the present from the past, using bricks and mortar to attract new ideas. Although it feels like a family story, the content explores the objective laws of human nature and history. This is a rare and special book.

From Zhu Yuanzhang's conquest of the Ming Dynasty to Zheng Chenggong's death in Taiwan, eight important figures in the history of the Ming Dynasty all appeared. The author wrote his reflections on the autocratic dynasty from an alternative perspective, from the temple to the people being influenced by traditional Confucianism, the enslavement of the common people by the powerful class, and the The various influences on the entire society, culture, and mental outlook have not been seen in other novels. Many of the plots in the article are quite different from what I know. This is due to my lack of understanding of history. Another point is that the author himself said that the veil of history has been lifted. , To restore people who have been mythical or demonized into flesh-and-blood people. As long as they are human beings, they will have seven emotions and six desires, and they cannot escape the word human nature. Only when they become real people can they have some resonance with the era they live in, and the characters will be vivid and three-dimensional. After all, they are real lives. Living in this land hundreds of years ago, the author has a unique point of view and can derive his thoughts on the current situation and criticism of feudal autocracy from history. This is the writing style that I like very much. I have finished the Tang Dynasty series, and then this one. If I continue to work hard, I will come to Teacher Zhang to supplement my history class.

In the unheard words, the dark depths of human nature are revealed. Those who find it are wise, and those who can taste the way of truth are like encountering a sweet spring in the desert. They are undoubtedly lucky.

Looking at this book, I thought that the seven faces of the Ming Dynasty seemed to be from the Han Dynasty, and they were also like the faces from the Qing Dynasty, Dashun, and Da* Dynasties. The author did not seem to have the intention of using the ancient to describe the present. Otherwise, if he picked out more faces and carefully crafted them, he might be able to create a banned book.

Deep, connotative and insightful

A very good book. I have known this book for a long time but never had the chance to read it. After opening it, I found that it really opened up another perspective. Most of the time, history is wrapped up in the macroscopic perspective of the Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties. Under the halo of emperors and generals, even the time travelers were promoted from ordinary people to nobles, which makes us ignore the real ordinary people in real history. Their lives are really miserable, and only from them can we really distinguish what is a prosperous time and what is a disaster.

Niubi Very wonderfully written

This book is very critical of the feudal dynasty. I have benefited a lot from reading this book. Have a deeper and more thorough understanding of feudal despotism and the dross in traditional Chinese culture.
