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.
<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...

評分有可能是黄仁宇这本书的写作方式,也有可能这就是中国历朝历代历史人物的悲哀,看过这本书两天以后,再去回想,带给我的最大感触还是那些一心想要为国家进步,体制完善,穷尽一生的努力却最终泯灭在历史的长河中变成尘埃的这些人。 他们的遗憾痛苦,挣扎与宁死不屈,坚持与正...
評分看完了《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...
