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.
看完了《明清史讲义》上,脑子里重复《万历十五年》和张居正,有了再看它的想法。又过了数年,再读《万历十五年》,自己买的那本静静地躺在老家,图书馆借来一本泛黄的中华书局82年出版的。 万历十五年,看似平淡如常的一年,整个寂静的帝国那时泛起了几个小小的涟漪,“风起...
评分书是常温常新的。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...
评分以前对《万历十五年》这本书,印象最深的是关于中国缺乏数字化管理的论述。当黄仁宇描述着一场杂乱无章的古代战争时,难以置信的统计和控制之劣,近乎荒谬,远远偏离了我对智勇双全的先民的恭敬想象。黄把中国形容成一个庞大的以礼仪统治的国家,由天子和官僚作道德楷模,指引...
评分真是好书。看了这个,觉得以前学校里看得那点历史课本,都白念了,那些课本中的所谓的历史,所谓的历史人物,仿佛三流电视剧或三流动画片,人物都是被固定下来并夸张处理,忠、奸、善、恶、智、愚、清、浊...... 张居正、海瑞、戚继光、万历皇帝......这些在历史课本中出现的角...
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...
Thought provoking. It portraits great men in the light of comprehensiveness. They were all just human after all.
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。
评分reacting to the past 必读书目……
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。
