Shennong Tastes a Hundred Herbs
I've been reading books on and off for almost 20 years. During a reading slump, I suddenly got the idea to put together a list of books I thought were pretty good. All kinds of genres included.

Ten-Year Bookworm Bai Ka’s Handpicked Recommendations
Carefully chosen by me: stories about playing it safe, longevity, management, farming, and ensemble casts. I've read over a million characters of every book here. As a ten-year veteran reader, ordinary works no longer impress me.

I have made a name for myself in expanding our territory; I blame tradition for our backwardness and vulnerability to attack. Compared to other prosperous dynasties, only our Qing Dynasty boasts of itself! Our population has halved; education, culture, science, and health have fallen behind. From the Xia to the Ming dynasties, all can be criticized; only our Qing Dynasty is untouchable! …
A lack of morality and disregard for political rules will lead to lower-class individuals outwardly complying while inwardly resisting. However, since they are already outwardly complying while inwardly resisting, the only option is to start from scratch. Therefore, the idea is sound.
Wow, that's awesome!
Finally, I've encountered a normal person! There are too many novels about time travel to the Chongzhen era. "Can't do this," "Can't do that." Why so much nonsense? Why argue with officials? That's what a normal time traveler should do. Forcibly prolonging the life of the Ming Dynasty! But... This is a novel. It's exciting, but I worry about what will happen next.
The latest gossip from a female-oriented TV drama: A Minister of War, who had rendered meritorious service in the rise to power, requested an audience with the Emperor, but the Emperor refused to see him. The Minister of War then stood outside the Emperor's door and froze to death, his entire body frozen solid. 🙂👍
I find it laughable that some people, with their hindsight and God's perspective, criticize Emperor Chongzhen, saying that even a dog could have done a better job in that position. And some people who can't even pay their own loans next month only seem to be able to pontificate about ruling the country from novels, thanks to nine years of compulsory education (which might not even be complete)…
It's terrifying to think about.
I suddenly realized that the Song Dynasty's emphasis on civil officials over military officials was actually much better than the Ming Dynasty's. The Song Dynasty had a better system of discrimination against military officers than the Ming Dynasty.
Furthermore, the most popular argument among those who defend Chongzhen is that he was already quite remarkable because he ascended the throne at a young age without proper guidance. I don't deny that Chongzhen may have made mistakes due to a lack of instruction, but he was emperor for 16 years. Even if you only learn a little each year, you should have made progress in 16 years.
Some places where Ming Dynasty history is easily written like Qing Dynasty period dramas with queues!
"" (Núcái): Ming Dynasty eunuchs referred to themselves as "" (Núbì). "" (Huángshàng): This was rarely used to address the emperor in the Ming Dynasty; it was more common in the Qing Dynasty. "" (érchén): Ming Dynasty princes did not refer to themselves as such before the emperor. "" (Àiqīng): Commonly used in the Qing Dynasty; Ming Dynasty emperors rarely addressed officials this way.
Zhu Youjian, just write Zhu Youjian, also write Zhu Jian
Why does the author consistently write about collaborating with the Qing Dynasty and betraying the country, instead of collaborating with the Jurchens and betraying the country? Could it be that the Ming Dynasty had already recognized the Jurchen state's status?
