Those Things in the Ming Dynasty·complete Works (2021 Supplementary Edition)

Beautiful, love watching. There are many things in life that we cannot control. We who are in the present cannot see the truth of the situation clearly, and those who come after us cannot judge the choices of those who came before us. That is unfair. But those who deserve praise should not be forgotten, such as Yu Qian, Zhang Juzheng, Wang Yangming, Yang Lian, Sun Chengzong, Zhu Youjian, etc. Regardless of whether they created a better ending, this is the best they can do. Many times, tragedy is inevitable, and we may even aggravate it due to our own shortcomings, but no matter what, we must have a little hope, a little perseverance, and a hard life to live this life in vain.

This is a good book that uses humorous language to tell us not only the true history, but also the philosophy of life. He evaluates all kinds of people and things fairly and does not follow others' opinions just to gain popularity. Because it is so good, I am ready to read it a second time. In short, this is a good book, a good book that I will never tire of.

This is a history book that ordinary people can understand. The author has put his understanding into the book, which is very good.

As a person with little historical knowledge, this book did a good job of popularizing the history of the Ming Dynasty to me. The author is humorous and expresses popularly, which attracts readers. Those turbulent years make people read passionately. Zhu Yuanzhang rose from the hardships, Tang He retreated bravely from the rapids, Xu Da had great military exploits, the brave and arrogant Lan Yu, the forbearing and deep Zhu Di, the kind and tenacious Empress Ma... Each character is vivid, three-dimensional and full, ready to be revealed. Come, travel with me to the Ming Dynasty and experience the depth and grandeur of history!

The whole article is full of key points and humorous. It analyzes the character and characteristics of the characters in detail (both praise and criticism, and the complexity of human nature) based on the historical background of the time. It is a rare good book for those who want to understand the history of the Ming Dynasty. History is like a rolling torrent. Everyone is like a wave. Some are high on the waves, falling gracefully, or sinking to the bottom of the sea, drifting with the current. It is really wonderful! But sometimes the teacher's interludes are really too long 😂

Using history as a mirror, we can know the ups and downs; Using people as a mirror can help you know gains and losses. The so-called history refers to what happened in the past, and its essence is countless conspiracies and countless accidents. History has never gone far, and those figures struggling with power, ideals, and desires are the eternal footnotes of human nature. "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty" is a historical apocalypse that uses people as a mirror. It not only writes about the rise and fall of a dynasty, but also the Chinese people's survival wisdom and spiritual dilemma that have remained unchanged for thousands of years.

Describe a generation of emperors vividly! Worth a look!

This book is really well written. It is very helpful for the study of the history of the Ming Dynasty. It also contains insights into life. At the same time, it is very detailed and arranges the events in the imperial struggle very well. It is also very logical and mixed with some of my own insights. It is very humorous. I finished reading it in about ten days. I feel very good and it is worth reading!

The writing style is easy to understand, and the content is humorous and interesting yet serious. At least it is quite remarkable that Mingyue could write this book at the age of 27. However, this book has been controversial since its birth. More than ten years ago, many people regarded it as "official history". In recent years, some readers have considered this book to be an "unofficial biography". I think it is biased. In fact, this book should be close to the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms". It is a popular historical novel and is suitable for readers to initially develop an interest in the history of the Ming Dynasty. However, it is not suitable for treating it as an "official history". After all, the author has too many subjective opinions. For example, when he wrote about Zhu Jianshen, he almost only wrote about Chenghua's negative information, but ignored Chenghua's contribution (such as "Chenghua Plowing Court"). Of course, this book unfolds the history of the Ming Dynasty for readers from a simple and easy-to-understand perspective. Although it has shortcomings, it is still a classic work.

The author uses humorous language, unique personal perspective, rich historical materials, and multiple research to present us a close to real (personally believed) history of the rise and fall of the dynasty. After reading it, I have a lot of feelings. How many heroes and villains, all of them vividly interpreted various human natures, and I have benefited a lot. It is well worth reading again and again, and I look forward to the author's next book.

The vocabulary is simple, and each historical event is presented in front of the reader's eyes using the language of daily life. When reading, it feels as if the picture is right in front of you.

It's super nice. This is my first time reading a history book. The author's writing style is very delicate, and there are also funny and relaxing parts. Just like ordinary novels, I just feel sorry for some characters in the book. I am relatively young and feel that Zhu Yuanzhang and Xu Shouhui are really miserable. Both Zhu Yuanzhang's parents are dead, and Xu Shouhui He is also a good person, but it is a pity that he was born in troubled times, so how could he be innocent? If he had been born in a prosperous age, he would have been a hero. Although Chen Youliang is cold-blooded and ruthless, hateful people must suffer sadly. He was always looked down upon when he was a child. I think Ma Xiuying is really good. That's it. I haven't seen much yet...

I finally finished reading "The Complete Works of Those Things in the Ming Dynasty". It tells the story of the Ming Dynasty from its rise to its decline. "We can use history as a mirror to know the ups and downs, and we use people as a mirror to know the gains and losses." The end of every dynasty is sad, but there are still many people with lofty ideals who continue to fight to the end, not afraid of death, and resist to the end. The so-called integrity is "Since ancient times, no one has died, and his loyalty will be remembered by history."

The advent of an era, the end of an era, in that moment, he walked from history, and will eventually return to history. There are too many people, too many things, and too many ties. It is enough for you and me to live our own lives! Characters: Yuan Dynasty, Ming Dynasty, Hongwu period, Zhu Yuanzhang, Queen Ma, Chen Youliang, Wang Baobao, Chang Yuchun, Lan Yu, Zhu Biao, Zhu Di, etc.

The language is fluent, interesting, clear in organization, and has a sense of scene. It is easy to read. While increasing historical knowledge, it is also a pleasure to enjoy. [Like][Like][Like][Like][Like]

From the film and television drama "The Ming Dynasty" released in 2019 to the Ming Dynasty, there was no princess and relatives to maintain the stability of the country. I became interested in this period of history of the Ming Dynasty. I decided to read this book in April 2025, but due to work reasons, I never had time to calm down and read it. It wasn't until January 2026 that I officially calmed down and read this book. The right and wrong of our predecessors have gradually become blurred in the long river of history. Under the wheel of history, everyone is like a grain of sand. Maybe people like Zhu Yuanzhang are just big grains of sand, unable to stop the wheel of history. For us, cherishing every day, cherishing the people around you, and loving yourself is the most important thing.

People often say that to understand China's thousands of years of system and governance logic, the most important thing to understand is the Ming Dynasty. It took more than a month to finally finish reading this 1.08 Million-word masterpiece. The book describes all the living beings of an entire dynasty: Sixteen emperors, from the founding of the country by Zhu Yuanzhang to the hanging of Zhu Youjian, supported the rise and fall of the Ming Dynasty for more than 200 years; Civil servants such as Xu Jie, Zhang Juzheng, Hai Rui, Yang Lian, and Zuo Guangdou used their character and power to support the Taoism and skills of the court; Military generals such as Xu Da, Chang Yuchun, Qi Jiguang, Yuan Chonghuan, and Sun Chuanting used their courage to defend the country and withstand troubled times; Eunuchs such as Zheng He, Wang Zhen, Liu Jin, Wei Zhongxian, and Feng Bao were the shadow of imperial power and the dark side of the times; Literati and scholars such as Wang Yangming, Tang Bohu, Li Shizhen, and Xu Xiake left an eternal light on civilization with their thoughts, talents, and hard work; There are also those opponents and passers-by: Chen Youliang, Zhang Shicheng, Yexian, Nurhaci, and Li Zicheng. They are both enemies and promoters of history. In Ming Yue's writings back then, there were no cold names, everyone had flesh and blood, desires and needs. The deepest feeling after reading this is nothing more than this: Using historical figures as a mirror can reveal the background and positioning; Using historical events as a mirror, you can understand the rules of life and accomplish things; Taking the rise and fall of dynasties as a warning, one can better understand the fate of the system, people's hearts and the times. Good book…

There are very few comments, so just say a few words! The reason: It gave me a lot of motivation to move forward, strength, persistence, thinking, and unremitting motivation to move forward in this era that has not changed in a century! Through the change of dynasties, we can deeply understand the changes in human nature. There is indeed a cause-and-effect relationship between character and destiny. The most important thing in life is to live well, live hard, and live in a way that suits you! You and I encourage each other!

In this book, we not only see the rise and fall of a dynasty, but also the entanglement and persistence behind every living person. I believe that if you read this book again in a few years, you will have a different feeling.

This book is well written, which shows that the author is extraordinary! The vigorous rise of the Ming Dynasty is written in an easy-to-understand manner, and the two generations of Zhu Yuanzhang are brought to life! I hope to finish writing Zhu Di so that it will resonate with readers. Thanks!

The genre is novel, the text is unique, the narrative is unique, and the conception is mysterious. He spoke it eloquently and in one go. It not only opens the perspective of God, but also has the writer's monologue, and is supplemented by the narration of famous writers, reshaping historical facts, jumping out of reincarnation, and satisfying the readers' mood. Time and space intersect, the universe fissions, and the Ming Dynasty is done!

An introductory book on history. If you are not interested in history, you can read this book like a novel. You can have an understanding of the history of the Ming Dynasty and may become interested in history. It is a good thing that someone writes historical novels and follows the historical view to the greatest extent, and deserves to be praised and promoted.

The author's writing style is very humorous and interesting, which stimulated my interest in reading. At the same time, I also learned a lot of cultural knowledge from it. The fragments on the Internet cannot truly understand the history of the Ming Dynasty. Through this book, we can make up for a lot of unknown history [Thinking]

The author simplifies the complex and combines it with his own ginseng fruit to describe the most deceitful and thrilling war... Listening to the thunder in the silent place, extracting opinions from the vast ocean of history, literary achievements have reached the realm of a transcendent immortal, reaching the pinnacle and teaching people tirelessly...

The author's writing style is rigorous yet humorous. The book is easy to read. It analyzes the characters and events in the history of the Ming Dynasty from multiple perspectives, interspersed with the author's comments and insights, and is clearly organized. It is a rare history book.

I finally finished reading it. I listened to the storytelling in the early stage and read the e-book in the later stage. When a dynasty started, it was more exciting, and when it declined, it was bitter. I also like history. Boring history makes people boring, but reading this book can make people immersed in it. The author is so amazing [Like] [Like] [Like]

This masterpiece leads us back to the history of the Ming Dynasty for more than two hundred years, with ups and downs, focused thinking, surging hearts, and profound insights, until the final wordless state of mind in a few words, maybe this is history, the established fact, and the final conclusion.

This book is so wonderful! The plot was full of ups and downs, like a roller coaster, and it grabbed my attention and I couldn't stop. The character creation is also very successful, each character has flesh and blood and is particularly vivid. Moreover, the author's writing style is very good, the description is delicate and vivid, and it is very picturesque to read. Whether it is from the perspective of story, character creation or written expression, it is a masterpiece. I highly recommend it to all book lovers!

I watched the video and came across the information introducing Shi Yue, and then I realized that there is such a grand and wonderful novel. Historical books are generally obscure and difficult to understand. I didn't expect that it is very attractive from the beginning. The historical information corresponds one to one, and the storyline is eloquently told. It is very exciting and super beautiful!

It's so interesting and vivid. I feel that everyone is no longer just a name in a book. Everyone is a real person with flesh and blood appearing in front of my eyes. Mingyue, you are really good at writing. Thank you for the world's words.
