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.
<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《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...
