"Yellow Book"——Wang Fuzhi's Elegy for the Survivors in the Late Ming Dynasty
"Mr. Chuanshan"'s bloody work, record of the survival and death of Chinese civilization
This political essay, written at the time of the fall of the Southern Ming Dynasty, uses "Huang" as a metaphor for Chinese orthodoxy (the bloodline of the Yellow Emperor). By analyzing the rise and fall of successive dynasties, it is clear that the fundamental cause of Ming's demise lies in the collapse of the "Yi-Xia defense".
Three core values:
Diagnosis of Blood and Tears: Proposed 17 national salvation programs including "Strict Defense of Yixia";
Cultural Gene Bank: The Warring States style of writing that combines parallel prose and prose preserves the collective spiritual trauma of the Ming Dynasty survivors;
Modern Enlightenment: Its idea that "the world is not the private property of one family" was actually the forerunner of the national revolution three hundred years later.
The original text + vernacular version released this time allows this "King of Forbidden Books", which has been banned by the Qing Dynasty for two hundred years, to reappear in the world in a face that is readable by ordinary people.
