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》。 这本书出版于197...
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...
评分韧性、差异化竞争及推广 ——我编辑黄仁宇作品的体会 按:这是应《中国编辑》约稿而作,刊今年第六期。据编辑耿丽萍小姐说,是俞晓群先生推荐我的。谢谢俞师。 英国知名出版人吉尔•戴维斯在其《我是编辑高手》中专列一章,标题就叫:“编辑难,难如登天。”做个好编辑,只...
评分我很喜欢黄仁宇的叙事风格,正如一位老人坐在你面前,用沉稳的语调,将那些陈年旧事浮光掠影一一道来。他的笔墨饱含深情,很有感染力。更为重要的是:他说的是“我的大历史观”。历史,应该有多重面目。我更喜欢个人的、情绪化的读史心得。正统的历史观雄霸课本、广播、电视...
补记
评分同样是黄先生写的,完全是两本书。就像很多香港电影(《神探》《大只佬》)在大陆公映的和在香港公映的区别。
评分明朝晚期的历史现实,其中人物的悲惨处境,受制于管理制度与利益集团,压抑而无奈。
评分去年此时在HK读的英文版……
评分重温经典
