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.
这本书最让我意外的有两点。 第一是历史书竟然可以这样写,取一个特别的年份,然后串起所有的事情;用一个人一个人的传记式的章节,展现一幅历史的画卷。也许是以前真正的历史书看得太少了。 第二,从小到大,觉得皇帝最大,皇帝说了算。在一个组织中,第一把手说...
评分 评分《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...
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...
开始不喜欢韦氏拼音了....
评分英文版读起来更觉得语言生动,也可以想见当时的轰动性。
评分从几个关键人物入手,巧妙而不着痕迹地涵盖了那个时代以及它在我们的历史洪流中所揭示的那些规律性的东西。a sad conclusion in the end and including now。最大的感慨还是莫过于知道了历史可以被这样描述。
评分reacting to the past 必读书目……
评分原版也给力,我那本的封面是绿色的
