While enduring the humiliation, he could only write poems to write about the beginning and end of the overthrow of the country, in order to fulfill the responsibilities of a historian and a poet. His works are just like what Shen Deqian (Que Shi, 1673-1769) said: "The thoughts of the motherland are always revealed." Under Wumeicun's all-round poetic history, the earth-shaking turbulent changes of the "Jiashen Incident" are like a tragic scroll, slowly unfolding, with continuous sorrow and hatred, making people sing and cry. --Chen Anfeng

The Ming Dynasty was a dynasty that was deliberately discredited. Discredited by whom? The answer is: civil servants. The civil servant group was extremely powerful in the Ming Dynasty and became an important force that could compete with the imperial power. This was also a major feature of the political situation of the Ming Dynasty. Therefore, the emperor had to reuse eunuchs to compete with them. Therefore, the emperor was greedy and lazy, the eunuchs were arrogant and domineering, and the rule of factory guards and spies made everyone in danger... This is the Ming Dynasty described by civilian officials. Its successor, the Qing Dynasty, in order to prove the legitimacy of its rule, strengthened this statement in history books. But is this seriously biased statement the historical truth? Therefore, with a book like ours, we strive to bring people closer to the truth from the most objective perspective, from unique topic points, and with de-faceted interpretations. For example, Zhu Yuanzhang's fierce methods of governing the country also contained traces of warmth; Ming Yingzong, who was burdened with the humiliation of the "Tumu Fort Incident", moved his enemies with his unique personal charm; the lazy Emperor Wanli had not seen his courtiers for decades, but the military state In matters of major importance, his decision-making and handling were still wise; no matter how powerful the eunuchs were in the Ming Dynasty, it was only a matter of the emperor to get rid of them; Yuan Chonghuan, who was known as a loyal minister through the ages, actually caused problems in state affairs because of his willfulness. Objectivity comes from the observation of historical reality; authenticity comes from a practical understanding of the complexity of human nature. These two points make this book destined to become an important work in writing the history of the Ming Dynasty.
