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.
《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<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...
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...
评分网上有人评价说,希望黄仁宇有一百只脚,太多的历史匠只配给他擦鞋。我第一遍读来有些吃力。很多人评价“此书可堪二遍读”,我想再读读。 记得当时跟一个好友讨论,她回复到: “ 我也是从《万历十五年》才开始抛开教科书的说教,真实地理解当时的历史的。一直在思考一个问...

Chinese history: Ming dynasty.
评分my life is sucked out. almost blinded and exhausted to death.
评分By analyzing the internal logic of the society from view of macro history, Huang analyzes the multiple characters of several representatives. That further reveals the influence of the system on the society.
评分重温经典
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。
