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.
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...
評分如果有人要我推荐读史启蒙读物,这本《万历十五年》当为首选。该书以1587这个年份为切入点,以六个典型人物为章节分析了晚明衰败之原由。这本薄薄的小书自1982年经廖沫沙推荐在大陆出版以来,销量达百万册,读者对它的热情二十年方兴未艾。 该书作者美籍华裔学者黄仁宇以其首先...
評分书是常温常新的。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...
評分<一> 《万历十五年》的名气很大。初拿到书翻翻的时候却被吓跑了一阵子。作者黄仁宇最初是研究明代的财政税收制度,因在史料中浸淫多年,于始对明史中的若干方面形成了自己的初步看法,开始摆脱了人云亦云的束缚”。 我自知对历史的功底实在太有限,尤其是一翻书序就谈及财政制...
評分《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》。 这本书出版于197...

评分同樣是黃先生寫的,完全是兩本書。就像很多香港電影(《神探》《大隻佬》)在大陸公映的和在香港公映的區彆。
评分<萬曆十五年>英文版
评分萬曆十五年,這個貌似無足輕重的年份,標誌瞭明王朝能夠觸及的上限,不管皇帝是勵精圖治還是不理朝政,不管首輔是銳意進取還是循規蹈矩,不管將軍是足智多謀還是平庸無能,不管文官是清正廉明還是貪汙腐敗,不管哲人是激進極端還是保守中庸,最終一切都徒勞無功。
评分Thought provoking. It portraits great men in the light of comprehensiveness. They were all just human after all.
