The Ashes Hidden in the Sky Are the Heresies of All Nations

"Embers Hidden in the Cangming·Heresy of All Nations" ——The eyes of the Ming Dynasty are lost, and heresy arises in all countries The first half of the book, "The Eyes of the Minghai Sea", describes how a civilization that was once at the forefront of the world burned away its own eyes to see the world. After Zheng He, the treasure ships were put into storage and disappeared in the water; after the earthen forts, the Ming Dynasty broke its bones; after the coup of seizing the gate, the loyal ministers were wronged and the old documents were turned into ashes. In the twelfth year of Chenghua, Mo Xuancen, a young man from Zhongnan Mountain, took over a bronze eight-edged Luban ruler from the sick old Taoist man. Only then did he realize that what his master was guarding was not a broken view, but a door that had been sealed for twenty-seven years. Mo Xuancen is not a hero, he just wants to live. But the lock is broken and the door is open. Rather than stay in the door and wait for death, it is better to go out and break up this dead situation. Even if you have to survive, you still have to see clearly who blindfolded Da Ming. The second half, "The Heretics of All Nations Rise," writes about the eve of the opening of the Great Navigation Age in the Western Continent. Inquisitions, witch-hunting fires, theocratic interpretations, and the expansion of royal power are turning observations into creeds, maps into power, and impermissible knowledge as heresy. Alonso once believed that the truth was written in the Holy Book and that the world only existed on the sheepskin allowed to be unfolded by the Holy See. Until he saw that what was burned at the stake was not only heretics, but also stars, herbs, navigation routes, nautical charts, and all the eyes that refused to close. One goes from Zhongnan Poguan to Jiushui Road, and the other goes from Xilu Fire Field to Ten Thousand Kingdoms Map. Across mountains and seas, they ask the same question: Who is qualified to take over the ruler that measures the world and write the truth about it?
