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 here... "The Fifteen Years of Wanli" is the famous work of Mr. Huang Renyu, a Chinese-American historian, and one of his masterpieces. It integrates the author's decades of life experience and academic experience. It is the first time to analyze the crux of Ming Dynasty society with a "big historical perspective" and observe the origin of modern China. It is thought-provoking. 2022 Marks the 40th anniversary of the publication of Huang Renyu's masterpiece "The Fifteenth Year of Wanli". With the strong support of Huang Renyu's philosophical heir, Mr. Huang Peile, Zhonghua Book Company once again launched the commemorative edition. The 40th anniversary commemorative edition takes advantage of today's convenient editing conditions to further improve the text quality on the basis of the classic edition.

It adopts the form of two-color printing of the main text and hardcover paper. We hope to provide readers who love Huang Renyu's works with a more complete version of "The Fifteenth Year of Wanli".

This topic mainly studies the historical evolution and historical impact of the general history of Sino-foreign treaty relations in modern times. According to the inherent laws of the evolution of Sino-foreign treaties in modern times, its historical development is divided into six periods, namely "the break of the traditional system and the establishment of treaty relations" (1689-1860), "the development of treaty relations and the crisis of the vassal system" (1861-1895), "the strengthening of unequal relations and treaty diplomacy" "The formation of the system" (1896-1911), "The vacillation and transition of unequal treaty relations" (1912-1927), "The improvement and setbacks of treaty relations towards equality" (1928-1937), "The basic formation and historical trend of equal treaty relations" (1937-1949).

The founders of the Song Dynasty corrected customs with superb political wisdom. However, after the Song Empire's long-term operation, internal and external troubles gradually intensified. In the autumn when the empire was in critical condition, the scholar-bureaucrats who had grown up under the culture-advocating trend after the founding of the People's Republic of China mounted their horses and launched the reform movement in the mid-Song Dynasty with the ambition to rectify the world, which is known as the "Qingli New Deal" in history. When academic research monographs are regarded as dangerous by the public readers, while historical dramas are stuck in popular conventions, the author of this book, after reading a large number of original documents, contemporary notes, and expert research writings, uses poetic language, flowing brushwork, rigorous academic analysis, and unique perspective to tell readers about the transition from the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms to the Song Dynasty in the mid-Tang Dynasty, and the beginning and end of the Qingli New Deal, as well as the gains and losses. This book allows readers to understand the historical pulse of the early and middle Song Dynasty in a relaxed reading, and can also look at the passion and melancholy of the scholar-bureaucrats in that exciting awakening era, and look at their flowing white figures in the distance.

Li Zicheng's general Li Yan doesn't actually exist? Is Shen Wansan, the "richest man in the Ming Dynasty", actually from the Yuan Dynasty? ... Behind these seemingly astonishing views are the results of Mr. Gu Cheng's extremely careful exfiltration of historical data and extremely rigorous reasoning and research. For example, when he wrote the article "Questioning Li Yan", he not only looked through various archives and anthologies, but even consulted more than a thousand local chronicles, and thus believed that Li Yan, who was recorded in many historical records, was actually fictional. In the article "Research on the Deeds of Shen Wansan and His Family", he pointed out that various historical materials, including "History of the Ming Dynasty", were incorrect. Shen Wansan, the "richest man in the Ming Dynasty", was actually from the Yuan Dynasty. Articles such as "A New Exploration on the Number of Cultivated Land in the Early Ming Dynasty", "The Transformation of the Guard System in the Qing Dynasty", "The Territory Management System of the Ming Empire" and "On the Wei Book in the Ming Dynasty" have an unshakable classic status in the academic world because of their pioneering contributions. Open this book, and Gu Cheng, a representative of contemporary history research, will lead you to exhaust the historical materials, investigate to the root, conduct rigorous research, and question repeatedly!

The second book in the series "The Face of History" by Xu Tao, a famous political teacher for the postgraduate entrance examination. Throughout the thousands of years of civilizations in the world, there has never been one as stable as the Chinese civilization, and few are as fond of a stable life as the Chinese. As long as it is stable, life can always be interpreted as very happy. However, after the Opium War, the rolling world trend shattered the long-lasting stability and dragged our country and nation into unprecedented changes. Indeed, this is a major change in the country and nation that every Chinese is familiar with. However, if we focus on individuals - individuals and families in the midst of great changes, we will be even more shocked by how periods of vivid life are pulled apart by the changes. Lin Zexu, who stood at the beginning of the change, Zhang Jian, who went from being a scholar to an industrialist, Qiu Jin, who went from a housewife to a revolutionary, Yang Du, who went from a constitutional expert to a Communist Party member, Gu Hongming, who was proficient in Western medicine and defended tradition, and architect Lin Huiyin, who went from his study to the wilderness, all struggled, confused, and searched for things in the change. History is, after all, a history written by characters. The power of personality is enough to penetrate the years and inspire and inspire future generations. The glory of those who succeed is admirable, but the arduous journey of those who have traveled the road is the wealth given to us by history, which deserves the attention, reference and reference of young readers. When we are trapped and confused, we often go back to history, absorb the wisdom and strength of our ancestors, and start over again to create our own glory.

By narrating the turbulent history of the late Ming Dynasty, this book depicts the monarchs, officials, scholars, merchants and people with different personalities, and proposes the social reasons for the death of the Ming Dynasty in addition to the "Little Ice Age", "Silver Crisis", "Rise of the Later Jin Dynasty" and "Peasant Uprising" - when the liberal trend of thought initiated by Yangming's philosophy awakened more and more intellectuals and began to defend human desires, the people at the bottom were urgently concerned about fairness, even at the cost of the collapse of the earth.

In 960 AD, Zhao Kuangyin and Jian Zuo ascended the throne, marking the founding of the Song Empire. When the army entered the city, "the market was not easy to operate" in Bianliang, Tokyo. If unruly people took advantage of the chaos and looted, "several generations would be killed in the city, and the officials who were plundered would pay their dues." The respect and protection of private property indicates that a generation of holy kings is about to open the most glorious chapter of traditional China. From 960 to 976 AD was Zhao Kuangyin's "Emperor Time". History ushered in the "Jianlong Rule" when the people were wealthy and the army was strong. For 16 years, he practiced virtuous government, practiced martial arts and cultivated literature. However, he passed away mysteriously amid the sound of an ax and the shadow of candles with his unfinished ambition. At the beginning of the founding of the Song Dynasty, Song Taizu Zhao Kuangyin granted amnesty to the world but did not pardon corruption. He successively conquered Luzhou and Pingyangzhou, adopted Prime Minister Zhao Pu's brilliant strategy to "invade the feudal towns", sent troops to quell the chaos, and even brought peace to the world; only love The lyrics are about the late emperor Li Yu of the Southern Tang Dynasty who was ignorant of politics and came to the throne. The monarch only wanted to spend money to buy peace when he went to a brothel. The regime of the Southern Han Dynasty was extremely cruel and even "all the dynasties were filled with eunuchs", which caused Emperor Taizu to exclaim "I must save the people of this area." Taizu of the Song Dynasty rested with the people, treated the scholars with dignity, emphasized culture and suppressed military affairs, and roughly defined the pattern of the empire. Finally, there was the "Taizu Oath Stele" that set an example for future generations and established the "civilization trend", and the Song Dynasty enjoyed everlasting glory from then on.

Chenqiaoyi was the most important station in Zhao Kuangyin's life. At this station, he completed a dynasty change in a bloodless way. From 951 to 960 AD, the chaotic Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms were coming to an end, and an unprecedentedly prosperous Song Empire began to emerge on the historical horizon. Ten years before the founding of the Song Dynasty, Guo Wei, Taizu of the Later Zhou Dynasty, eliminated the bad governance of the previous dynasty, bringing the first glimmer of light in the troubled times; Chai Rong, the great emperor who was heroic and full of royal ideals, went on a personal expedition, defeated the Khitan coalition forces of the Northern Han Dynasty, and began civilized government affairs ; The peerless master Wang Puxian's "Pingbian Policy", "the road map for the Central Plains"; after the Battle of Gaoping, Zhao Kuangyin entered the ranks of senior officers of the Later Zhou Dynasty; the incredible "Wei Nang" and the mysterious Chenqiao Mutiny brought an astonishing turning point in history. The history of the first ten years before the founding of the Song Dynasty was a history of refining troops and simplifying administration, opening up channels of public opinion, handling disputes between feudal vassals and towns, pacifying local bandits, sweeping the Yangtze and Huaihe rivers from the south, and attacking Khitan from the north. It was a history of the evolution of the Central Plains regime's return to its homeland, and it was also the starting point for the founding of the Song Dynasty by the great emperor Zhao Kuangyin.

Looking around, there are wolves everywhere. There are vassal towns that cannot be controlled by the king's law, there are vassal towns that are fighting against each other, there are vassal towns that are ready to take action, and there are even Khitan cavalry who wantonly plunder. Although the imperial court was there at that time, the world was already dead. The thirty years before the founding of the Song Dynasty were the dark ages of Chinese history. If you understand these thirty years, you will understand what barbarism and cruelty are, and you will understand why the Song Dynasty is called a prosperous civilization. Thirty years before the founding of the Song Dynasty, it was a military battlefield where wolves roamed and cavalry raged. It was a place where vassal towns were divided, factions fought against each other, and conspiracies and brutal crimes took place. It was a purgatory where civilization was ruined, morality was lost, and the world had constant nightmares. The history of the thirty years before the founding of the Song Dynasty was a history of turmoil caused by usurpation and disaster, and a history of Chinese people's suffering covered by blood and tragedy. If you understand these thirty years of history and see the cause and effect of the troubled times of the Five Dynasties, you will understand the origin of the Song Dynasty Empire, understand Zhao Kuangyin's good intentions in constructing and deducing the Song Dynasty civilization, and understand why China has evolved into what it is today. The author has read tens of thousands of volumes and read them for ten years. Using official history as basis and unofficial history as material, in chronological order, through the perspectives of soldiers, counselors, generals and civilians, he presents slices of the era in the thirty years before the founding of the Song Dynasty in detail. By connecting these slices, you may be able to see a different history.

On the clock was a congratulatory couplet engraved in Chinese characters: "The sun and the moon shine together, announcing the twelve o'clock of good fortune; the heaven and earth are united, celebrating hundreds of millions of years of wealth and longevity."

The 24th volume "Destiny and Choice" is the summary volume of the Chinese History series. Yi Zhongtian takes you through a quick flashback, beginning with the "rise of China" in the Luoyang Basin 3,700 years ago. It gives you a bird's-eye view of how the Western Zhou Dynasty built the Chinese civilization circle with political wisdom, and how it passed the blame of "unclear property rights" to its descendants. After two hundred years of trial and error, reform and contention during the Warring States Period, China finally entered the imperial era. Since then, the history of the Chinese empire has been clearly divided into four periods: the founding period from Qin and Han to the Three Kingdoms 410 years; the 400 years from the Three Kingdoms, Wei, Jin and Southern and Northern Dynasties, the trial and error, exploration, and integration period; the Sui, Tang and Song dynasties in 683 years, the peak period; and the Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties in 647 years, the finalization period. Along the way, we have chosen to turn a country into an empire; we have chosen to respect Confucianism alone and integrate Buddhism and Taoism; we have chosen to open up the north and the south and integrate the Hu and Han; unfortunately, we have also chosen to remain in seclusion and deceive ourselves with illusions.

In China's excellent traditional culture, special emphasis is placed on the word inheritance: whether it is a cultural life or a small individual achievement, it is hoped that it will last forever and be passed on from generation to generation. History has proven that the inheritance of spiritual ideas is far superior to wealth and fame. Morality can be passed down to the family for more than ten generations, farming and reading can be passed down to the next, poetry and books can be passed down to the next, and wealth can be passed down to the family for no more than three generations. Once a business entrepreneur succeeds, he or she will become a wealthy family. To break the curse of being rich for only three generations, the first solution is to inherit spiritual ideas. During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, there was a very famous businessman Fan Li. He lived and taught for ten years, became rich three times, and scattered his family wealth three times. In the book "A Brief History of Saints", Dean Wang Rending selected for us twelve sages in the long history of Chinese civilization. He hopes that entrepreneurs can understand individual life and return to their own inherent nature, so that the brilliance of the saints' thoughts can illuminate the hearts of those who inherit wealth and wealth, and enrich the inheritance of entrepreneurs' spiritual thoughts. We have selected 12 sages from China's 3,000-year history and culture: Guan Zhong, Laozi, Confucius, Sun Tzu, Fan Li, Lu Ban, Mozi, Guan Yu, Bodhidharma, Sun Simiao, Wang Yangming and Zeng Guofan. They are chosen because they are representatives of the practice of traditional Chinese philosophical thought. Confucius, Laozi, Bodhidharma, Wang Yangming, and Zeng Guofan are representatives of Confucianism, Buddhism, and Taoism. Mozi, Guan Yu, Guan Zhong, Fan Li, Lu Ban, Sun Tzu, Sun Simiao, Zeng Guofan, and Wang Yangming respectively represent the traditional Confucian culture of meritorious service, loyalty, and the commonwealth of the world. They are eternal models admired by future generations.

The Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period were the best era and the worst era in Chinese history. The Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period were an era of great changes, an era of inheriting the past and forging ahead with the future. The Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period were characterized by constant turmoil and killings, but they gave birth to cultural greatness and unlimited historical opportunities. The Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period were the years when China's martial spirit was at its peak, demonstrating bloody and flying vitality. The Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period advocated bravery and resourcefulness, intertwined with bloodiness and power. The Spring and Autumn Period was the last glorious era of Chinese aristocratic spirit. The Warring States Period was a bit more cruel and bloody, but it also gave civilians more opportunities to step onto the political stage, making society more vibrant. This book takes the five-hundred-year struggle for supremacy among princes during the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods as the main line, and presents this soul-stirring and magnificent history in a three-dimensional and panoramic manner. The Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period were also a foggy era in Chinese history, with insufficient historical data and confusing clues.

This book is divided into two parts: "Iron-Blooded Strategy" and "Peerless Empire". It aims to show readers the strange and glorious legendary life of Zhu Di, a generation of heroes and masters of strategy - Yun Bo in the past sixty-four years! "Peerless Empire" tells the story of Zhu Di's wonderful journey of fighting wits and courage with all forces during his 22 years in power, governing the country with an iron fist, and creating the unique Yongle era in history. Zhu Di's greatness lies in the fact that he did not follow Zhu Yuanzhang's old path, but created a new era, laying a solid foundation for the continuation and development of the Ming Dynasty! The prosperous era created by Zhu Di not only contained valuable blood, but also had grand courage and forward-looking vision. Unfortunately, his descendants cannot understand the far-reaching significance of his building a "world system with the Ming Dynasty as the core", just as they cannot understand why Zhu Di conquered Mobei, why he had to move the capital, and why he let Zheng He sail to the West. After reading this book, you will find that Zhu Di's influence on Beijing, China and the world is so profound, and it is far from over! "Iron Strategy" tells the story of Zhu Di's growth process and his superb, tortuous, tense and exciting battle for power with Zhu Yunwen! Zhu Di wanted to be emperor, but he didn't want to rebel. He believed that he was more suitable to be emperor than his eldest nephew and more capable of leading the world's best empire, but his father Zhu Yuanzhang did not give him a chance. Zhu Di was able to raise an army of 800 troops and seize the top power in three years. He relied on a spiritual mentor, a good wife, two good sons, a group of good brothers, as well as his own superb tactics, extraordinary courage and tenacious will. In the face of sudden disasters, Zhu Di did not sit back and wait for death, did not complain about others, and did not mess up his position. Instead, he relied on his extraordinary creativity, unremitting efforts and firm will to defeat more with less, and created military miracles again and again: he used 800 soldiers to fight against more than 20,000 people and quickly controlled Peiping; he also increased the army from 20,000 to 100,000, and used 100,000 to defeat the court's million-strong army. Xiongxian, Baigou, Zhending, and Yixian became important intersections of Zhu Di's destiny. Three "divine winds" also magically changed Zhu Di's destiny...

"Mongol Empire": In the 13th century, the Mongol Empire swept across the Eurasian continent like a whirlwind. Its rise and development have also brought us many mysteries: What are the internal driving forces and external conditions for the expansion of the Mongols? How did Mongolia grow rapidly from a local government with a population of less than 2 million to an unstoppable empire? How did the Mongolian conquests interact with those powerful countries with glorious civilizations? Focusing on these issues, the author excavated Chinese and Western historical documents and combined the research results of domestic and foreign scholars to give his own understanding. The Mongolian war of conquest accelerated exchanges in the flow of products, population migration, and cultural dissemination between the ancient Eastern and Western worlds. "Jinyiwei": This book examines the creation and evolution of Jinyiwei within the historical background of the Ming Dynasty. Taking the development of Jinyiwei as the longitude and the replacement of emperors in the Ming Dynasty as the weft, this book outlines the relationship between the needs of imperial power and the development trajectory of Jinyiwei in each period. Jinyiwei was founded during the Ming Dynasty. Its main task was to maintain etiquette and discipline in order to meet Zhu Yuanzhang's urgent need for "correct discipline", "legislation of etiquette", "name naming" and "clear orders" at the beginning of the founding of the country. As the situation developed, Jin Yiwei was gradually given various new functions: managing prisons, conducting diplomatic missions, arresting traitors and robbers, supervising courtiers, etc. The needs of imperial power also strongly affected the development of East Factory and West Factory. Imperial power, imperial guards, and east-west factories were intertwined in the course of history. In the late Ming Dynasty, factory guards even began to be involved in party disputes among courtiers, becoming an important force in them. "Remnants of the Late Qing Dynasty": Since the Qing Dynasty, China has been in frequent contact and collision with Western countries. Beginning with Macartney's visit to China in 1793, Western countries, through trading companies, missionaries, diplomats and other channels, collected a large amount of intelligence about the Qing Dynasty's political economy and society, and used it in subsequent military conflicts (such as the Opium War, the invasion of the British and French forces, etc.) To achieve the purpose of aggression. Based on precious reports from Western media over the past century, combined with original Chinese historical materials such as "Records of the Qing Dynasty" and "The Imperial Qing Dynasty Conference", the author tells a picture of the Qing Dynasty gradually falling behind, declining and even collapsing in its interactions with Western powers.
