The fifteenth year of Wanli, that is, 1587 AD, was the year before the entire Spanish fleet was dispatched to conquer Britain in Western European history. In China, during this ordinary year, several events occurred that historians easily overlook. Although these events may seem like the last minute details on the surface, they are actually the crux of major events that happened in the past, and they are also opportunities that will cause waves in the future. In the eyes of historian Huang Renyu, the relationship between cause and effect is the focus of history, and our journey of great history begins from this...

This book is a collection of essays about the history of China from the pre-Qin Dynasty to the late Yuan Dynasty. It lists dozens of important figures in the approximately 2,000-year history from the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period to the retreat of Emperor Shun of the Yuan Dynasty to the north, and provides a detailed analysis of the cause and effect of China's historical process. Focusing on characters, we explore the characteristics of Chinese history and culture through their people, their events and their actions at key points in history, and analyze them from today's standpoint. The focus is on using the "big historical perspective" to discuss Chinese history and commending the fact that Chinese history has its own characteristics and has been coherent through various dynasties and politically divided stages. Although each chapter is roughly based on the genre of biography, the influence of the narrative far exceeds the personal experience of the people at that time.
