Fengchen Sun and Moon Record

The Wanli Dynasty lasted forty-eight years and was the fourth to last year of the Ming Dynasty. When historians of later generations mention it, they always write about "Wanli ZTE", Zhang Juzheng's efforts in reform, and his illustrious martial arts achievements in the three major campaigns. But behind the brilliant words and ink are the bones of the Liaodong cavalry, the drops of blood and tears of Orihu in the south of the Yangtze River, the quarrels between the Donglin Party and the Eunuch Party in the court, and the eager eyes of the Jurchen cavalry outside the border. This is an era where splendor and ruin coexist, an era where heroes and traitors dance together, an era where big men are manipulating and guiding the country, and it is also an era when small people survive in the cracks and struggle in the torrent.
