A Reading List for the Twenty-Four Solar Terms
Works I've read and really enjoyed. I hope we can share these unusual stories and discuss the questions they raise. I won't give specific ratings, since different readers will reach different conclusions. It's better to see for yourself than to rely on what others say. I'll add recommended books if I've read them and think they're good. If a book isn't on the list, it just doesn't suit my current tastes. For now, the list is mostly historical and xianxia web novels, with a few science fiction, w

Mainly Recommending Late Ming Novels!
No marriage alliances, no reparations, no ceded territory, no tribute. The emperor guards the frontier; the ruler dies defending the state. After the Yuan dynasty fell, the Ming was established by the Han people on Chinese soil. Its founding improved the status of the Han, restoring the majority population to a commoner's standing and creating favorable conditions for China's future development. Though the Ming realm was smaller than the Yuan's, at its height it held the Mongols in check to the

This book is truly excellent. It is historically accurate and features nuanced character portrayals. I hope the author continues to maintain this level of quality.
High-quality late Ming Dynasty novels are far superior to those wish-fulfillment novels.
What a great book! It's a miracle to find one like this during a limited-time free offer!!!
I laughed when I saw the synopsis described as a non-system, beginner's story. Without a system or cheat codes, what you call possible is impossible. The late Ming Dynasty was plagued by natural and man-made disasters. How could your so-called governance of the bureaucracy solve such problems?
In the eighth year of the Chongzhen Emperor's reign, you were still taking your time? That's laughable. The civil service group loves taking their time, engaging in rampant corruption. This is a battle between interest groups; if you can't offer benefits, who's going to help you? No money, no troops—do you think you're on the side of justice? You think you can fool a bunch of patriots with just ideology?
There are many flaws.
When I read the part about the confiscation of Liu Kongzhao's property, I found it hard to continue reading. A censor submitted an impeachment memorial, and then people were directly sent to confiscate Liu's property. Without a joint trial by the Supreme Court and the Ministry of Justice, how many people would be convinced? What about procedural justice?
I've seen another bunch of keyboard warriors bragging about how great it would be if they were Emperor Chongzhen. First of all, if you were really capable, why would you be here bragging? You should at least have the ability and experience of a mayor. All you know is how advanced and reasonable your ideas are, but where are the people who actually do the work? Your bragging makes me doubt you could even manage a village.
A classic, worth reading again and again.

Simmering it over a low flame, it'll lead to suicide in a few years, but simmering it for a few years will allow you to hang yourself in peace! You still don't know what went wrong at the end of the Ming Dynasty! Merchants, officials, and scholars didn't pay taxes, so the state directly burdened the poor with 90% of the taxes. What reason did the poor have not to rebel?
There was actually hope for salvation at the end of the Ming Dynasty. 1. An imperial edict was issued to all clansmen throughout the country, permitting them to recruit soldiers. 2. Issue an imperial edict, allowing them to lead troops to purge the court of corrupt officials. 3. Imperial edicts were issued, granting each vassal king direct control over all local troops and forces.
