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.
