At present, except for Taizu's entrepreneurship and Taizong's troubles, there are relatively continuous events. Others are trivial records of daily empire operations, which can be read as a reference book. Although boring, many historical materials are still interesting to study in detail. For example, there are many biographies of characters, some of which may be just a minister, or a famous person in a thousand households, or a prefect. But with just a few hundred words, a lifetime can leave traces in history books. Looking at the different life situations of ancient people, I find it quite interesting. In addition, the Ming Dynasty's rule and interactions with the Jurchens, Mongolia, Korea, Japan, Southeast Asia, the Western Regions, and Tibetan areas are interspersed in these 16 million words of classical Chinese historical materials. The content is very rich and is of great value to the study of Ming history. Of course, there are also administrative management of central agencies, laws and regulations, local governance, disaster relief, military operations, appointment and dismissal of officials, sacrificial rituals, cultural exchanges, economics and trade, tribute system, etc. All-encompassing, a real, lively, rigorous and orderly Han Dynasty with ups and downs is vividly displayed on the page in these tens of millions of words.
I would like to ask the author, the current popular saying on the Internet is that most of the Ming Dynasty emperors were killed by the civil servant clique. What do you think? For example, from Lao Zhu to Zhengde, they were all poisoned to death. Only Jiajing and Wanli escaped the disaster by not going to court.
Excellent product, it can only be said to be a great achievement in history
