BOOK-明朝那些事儿BY当年明月


A history book about Ming Dynasty-a dynasty i like the least.

i used to think that system and mentality of Ming dynasty actual ruined everything about this nation, the spirit of mandarin, of Confucian and Dao and every other Chinese being. i remember arguing about this dynasty with a classmate when were in school...

honestly, i didn't read any deep details about that dynasty, didn't want to, until today..my impression about the whole dynasty was it is full of murdering, blood, sadness, mis-judge, unfairness. it fully proved the downside of the Monarchy, no people can trust their government, no officers can trust their political system. no king trust anyone..and the saddest part is nothing can be done, nothing about it is good except its end.

these were just impressions in my young mind. what's the truth in that two hundred and fifty years?

this book is written by an internet writer, as always, no real name, only an ID.
It is a wonderful book, enlightening, fun, easy to read, and nothing shallow behind the easiness. most importantly, it is so well written that i cannot stop reading. it seems i finally have the opportunity to know more about that dynasty after all, might be my only opportunity.

  1. 看来不能让天蝎或者魔羯的人做皇帝。实在是一个不比一个弱,全都是杀人如麻的主儿……

    而且还都是一出:

    一心要江山图治垂青史,也难说身后骂名滚滚来.
    谁不想国家昌盛民安乐,也难料恨水东逝归大海.

  2. 这个系列……看第一本的时候津津有味,看到第二本中间的时候开始怀疑,觉得作者太主观,趣味性减少,于是就没看下去了。这种既非正史又非野史的史书总觉得读起来有点尴尬。
