["Records of the Rise and Fall of the Southern Ming Dynasty" (full translation of "Nan Tianhen")]
The complete translation of a classic study on the history of the Southern Ming Dynasty reappears! Xiting Lingxue's "The Traces of the Southern Sky" is newly translated and introduced under the title "Records of the Rise and Fall of the Southern Ming Dynasty", breaking away from the shackles of obscure ancient books and panoramically restoring the ups and downs of the seventeenth year of the Southern Ming Dynasty. From the suicide of Chongzhen and the establishment of various regimes in the Southern Ming Dynasty, to the various rebel armies resisting the Qing Dynasty, and the life and death decisions of the monarchs, ministers and generals, the tragic process of the collapse of the dynasty is recorded word by word.
The translation accurately restores the original appearance of historical materials, and carefully annotates key information such as official positions in the Southern Ming Dynasty and the anti-Qing campaign, eliminating reading barriers. The book not only contains the iron-blooded resistance of loyal ministers and righteous men, but also contains the helpless lamentation of the internal strife in the court, and also hides the suffering of the people living in troubled times.
This is a translation of historical materials that allows modern people to clearly understand the rise and fall of the Southern Ming Dynasty. It has both historical value and popular readability!
