Ray Huang (Chinese: 黃仁宇; 25 June 1918 – 8 January 2000) was a Chinese historian and philosopher. He was an officer in the Nationalist army and fought in the Burma campaigns. He earned a Ph.D in history from the University of Michigan, worked with Joseph Needham and is a contributor of Needham's Science and Civilisation in China. Huang taught in the U.S., and is best known in his later years for the idea of macro-history.
1587, a Year of No Significance: The Ming Dynasty in Decline (Chinese: 萬曆十五年; pinyin: Wanli Shiwunian) is Chinese historian Ray Huang's most famous work. First published by Yale University Press in 1981,[1] it examines how a number of seemingly insignificant events[which?] in 1587 might have caused the downfall of the Ming dynasty. The Chinese title, meaning "the fifteenth year of the Wanli era", is how the year 1587 was expressed in the Chinese calendar: the era name of the reigning Chinese emperor at the time, followed by which year of his reign it was. Major figures discussed in the book besides the emperor are Grand Secretaries Zhang Juzheng and Shen Shixing, official Hai Rui, general Qi Jiguang and philosopher Li Zhi. Although Huang had completed the manuscript by 1976, no publisher would accept it at first, as it was not serious enough for an academic work, but was too serious for popular non-fiction. The work has been translated into a number of different languages: Chinese, Japanese, German and French.
《万历十五年》是一本畅销二十余年的经典之作。 黄仁宇的叙述恣肆雍容,很多人读这本书,就会陷进去,因而产生神龙不见首尾的感觉。 在看这本书的同时,其实可以先看黄的另外一本书:《十六世纪明代中国之财政与税收》。 这本书...
评分这是一部奇书。 没想过历史可以这样写。习惯了编年体的我们认为历史只有那么一种固定写法,突然面对这样以点带面,用某一年事件点破朝代命运的写法时,开始竟然会不习惯。粗线条描述历史并不难,能从小事着手讲述历史并引申出高人一等的论点则属难得。 老实说,读着《万历十五...
评分书是常温常新的。可惜,现在的书籍太多,而可重温的又太少,太多的书品非但不是精神食粮,而且还有毒粮的事实,因而时常的结局是“尾大不掉”,读书就变成了熊瞎子掰玉米,读时昏天黑地,卷毕头昏脑胀,一路读,一路丢。 前段时间,向一位朋友推荐了黄仁宇写的《万...
评分 评分读完了《万历十五年》,这本书给我的感觉是意料之外,我以为这是一本关于“巧合”的书,我以为作者想要用这一年中发生的众多看似无关的事情,来共同描绘出同一个未来,那就是明朝——这最后一个汉人王朝的衰落。可是看完这本书,我发现这是一本关于“必然”的书,或者说这...
