Those things of the Ming Dynasty: Wonderful and not professional enough

Some time ago, when I saw the audio file "those things of the Ming Dynasty" on the donkey (www.verycd.com), I went down and listened. I have just heard of it recently. There are 7 books in total, and only the sixth audio file is used. There is a free electronic version available on the Internet. I can refer to Part 7. In the early 30 s of this year, the author is familiar with Guo Degang and Xiao Shenyang like most young people and knows what style readers like on the Internet. The language is humorous. The writing is quite interesting. The name of the storyteller is not remembered. It is not very famous, and his name is Liu. Liu baorui's style. The author claims that he has graduated from a non-historical or Chinese major and is unwilling to publish the post at a graduate school. According to the content in the book, some people speculate that he is a major in law. I think it is more credible. The book tells the story of the Ming Dynasty from the beginning to the end. As the author said, the story of the Ming Dynasty is indeed very interesting. These stories are categorized into complete categories, including war, thrilling, suspense, ethics, romance, reasoning, officialdom, workplace, and music. These common types of stories can be found in books. This set of books has some defects during the course of reading and reading. The first is the positioning of this book. In the preface, the author said that it is not a historical book or a novel. After reading it, I feel that it is not a history book. However, I feel that I still read my books as history books. From time to time, the book says "many historical records". In this book, the author seriously refuted the views of the historian Yan chongnian. Secondly, the book's generalization of history is not comprehensive, because the book basically only tells stories. If you look at it as a history book, this defect is very obvious. Of course, this defect is also unavoidable. This book is serialized on the Internet. The author determines the writing direction based on the reader's reflection. This set of books stand out on the Internet, indicating that readers like this style of storytelling. But as a historical book, it is not enough to have stories alone. After reading this set of books, I flipped through Cambridge Chinese Ming Dynasty History and immediately felt the difference between my major and my spare time. Cambridge Chinese history is concise and concise. It often sums up the overall situation of the Ming Dynasty in a short space. The things of the Ming Dynasty are often invisible or not comprehensive. For example, in the case of mine tax collection by the hichina eunuch, I think it should be a big thing in the society at that time. I don't mention it in the book at all, probably because it hasn't happened too many stories, it may also be because the author is not interested. Third, re-invent the wheel. The author claimed to have read history books for 15 years. According to the names of the four books mentioned in the preface, they are basically ancient books. There may be very few books of contemporary historian. For example, from the perspective of the content in the book, the author should have read it. However, I did not read it carefully, or I did not like it in his style. The disadvantage of doing so is that he does his own analysis, summary, and generalization regardless of the work of the historian. Due to incomplete information, the things he summarized may be biased. For example, for Hai Rui's evaluation, "those things of the Ming Dynasty" basically follows the evaluation of the traditional history books. Relatively speaking, "the 15th year of the Chinese calendar" has a comprehensive review of a variety of historical materials. The only exception may be the evolution of the Prime Minister's system in the Ming Dynasty. It may have basically adopted Qian Mu's viewpoint in "political gains and losses of history in China. Fourth, some details are inaccurate. Since the author only reads ancient books, it is very likely that the inaccurate descriptions in ancient books are regarded as actual situations. For example, the Hongyi cannon used by Yuan Chonghuan is similar to the modern cannon according to the author's description. I think Yan chongnian's statement is more reasonable: At that time, the artillery shells were solid iron balls with limited lethality, but they were a great deterrent to soldiers in the cold weapons era. Fifth, for controversial historical events, it is often the reader's favorite choice. A typical example is the war of resistance from the Communist Party of China and Aid Korea in the calendar year. Written by the author, this war defeated Japan. That section is wonderful. I rummaged through Lu simian's "Vernacular National History" and "Cambridge Chinese Ming Dynasty History", saying that the intruders finally took the initiative to withdraw, causing little loss. I like the story he told, but I want to know if it is true. Finally, whether it is a historical book or not, the stories in this book are not original, and the author's bibliography should be listed. In his preface, I read more than 20 historical books, but I only listed four.
