It truly describes what happened from Zhu Yuanzhang to the demise of the Ming Dynasty. From the iron-fisted rule of Hongwu, to the glorious days when Yongle moved the capital to Beijing and Zheng He's voyages to the West; from the national crisis in the Tumuba Incident, to the deep undercurrents of Jiajing's alchemy palace and Wanli's thirty years of neglect, to the destruction of the country by Chongzhen, and finally to the true history of the collapse of the dynasty in the thirty-nine years of the Southern Ming Dynasty.
