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.
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.

评分一本书的10年与30年 周重林 一本书的10年与30年 10年前,我刚刚上大学,终于可以扔下教科书,随心所欲地看一些自己有兴趣的作品。第一次阅读《万历十五年》,来自师兄的推荐,这本书刚刚在中国出版不到一年的时间(但这部作品已经成稿近20年),已经获得知识界诸多好评的声音...
评分万历十五年,这个貌似无足轻重的年份,标志了明王朝能够触及的上限,不管皇帝是励精图治还是不理朝政,不管首辅是锐意进取还是循规蹈矩,不管将军是足智多谋还是平庸无能,不管文官是清正廉明还是贪污腐败,不管哲人是激进极端还是保守中庸,最终一切都徒劳无功。
