Zhu Yuanzhang established the country, piled up ideals with bones, and commented on good and evil. Zhang Juzheng ruled the world, playing in a dead chess game, and the two worlds of life and death.
It is easy to sift out a large number of plots that have not been paid attention to by historians from the vast written historical materials, and reinterpret the story of Zhengshuo's transformation and social change... It should be said that this is a remarkable masterpiece among literary and historical publications in recent years.
The Ming Empire founded by Zhu Yuanzhang pushed China's imperial cultural tradition to the extreme and was the culmination of China's two thousand years of imperial politics. Its influence on China's political and cultural traditions was so profound and huge that it is still clearly visible today, more than 600 years later. It is quite vivid in depicting Zhu Yuanzhang's appearance and actions. The description of the appearance here is obviously closer to the standard portrait without artistic processing. What these two paintings reveal has great practical significance and far-reaching historical significance. The future destiny of the Ming Empire and its powerful shaping of the collective character of the Chinese people can already be partially glimpsed here.
Reader comments
I especially like the portrayal of Zhu Yuanzhang in the book. It is very real and gives me a deeper understanding of that era. Moreover, the author sifts out plots that are not valued by historians from a large amount of historical data to make the story fuller. I recommend you read it too!
This book looks at many matters of the Ming Dynasty from a modern perspective. The writing is fluent and thought-provoking. It ends with an essay from the Scholars, which is quite innovative and also thought-provoking.
