Recently, I watched those things in the Ming Dynasty. I wrote an article in my first book. At that time, I only said that history was humorous. After reading the seventh book, I realized that people are humorous, not history, and history is very heavy.
After reading a set of books, I saw many celebrities and national heroes in history textbooks, such as Zheng He in western countries, such as Wen Tianxiang, Qi Jiguang, Yu Qian, Zhang, the founder of psychology, Wang Yangming, and so on. I also saw some real faces of them, not just dry, perfect people with all positive advantages. They have shortcomings, they have the ability to turn the tide, they have passion, and they dominate history. Especially when I saw Yu Qian's part, I really felt that his contribution to the Ming Dynasty was too great. The existence of some people can really determine whether history becomes this way or that way. Such people will either stay in the history books or be remembered for thousands of years. For example, Yue Fei and Qin Gui in those days, and many famous people who went down in history later.
What I admire most is that the author of Those Things in the Ming Dynasty was only in his twenties when he wrote this book, and he was still in his twenties when all seven books were finished. I still spent a long time reading this set of books. He wrote easy-to-understand articles in vernacular to let us know what the real history is like, giving up the entertainment and impetuousness of young people, and he still insisted on preserving the history of the Ming Dynasty for more than 300 years.

I copied a lot of what he wrote, and even he wrote in the postscript that "there is only one kind of success, and that is to spend your life in your own way" as my motto. I like this sentence very much. There are many truths that you can feel.
"In real life, it is also an indisputable fact that top students often fail to be social youths."
"Glory is always on the winner's side, which is an eternal truth."
"The most painful thing in life is not to have a tragic ending, but to know the ending but to be powerless to change it."
"The ability to read is different from the ability to deal with problems. Reading a book well does not mean that things can be handled well; Just because you can make a plan doesn't mean you can carry it out. "
"Unfortunately, the words regret and if have never had a market in history."
"People who do emperor business in history are basically not good people, because good people can't be emperors, and Zhu Yunwen is irrefutable evidence."
The greatest pain of mankind lies not in having nothing, but in having everything and then losing it.
"Everyone has his own opinion".
"A sick tiger is not a tiger, or even a cat."
"We often have some questions, that is, how can we gain the respect of other countries and their people and be proud of the scenery in the world-in fact, the answer is simple-the country is strong."
"This is the price they have to pay. Whether it is a winner or a loser, you can't go back on this road. "
War is another form of fighting.
The saddest thing about a person is not being scolded, but being scolded beyond reproach.

Among the historical figures, Yu Qian and Wang Yangming are the most excerpted by me.
Let everyone feel the author's love for modesty.
"Five hundred years later, Yu Qian never seems to leave. He has been standing here, overlooking the land he watered with his life and blood, and overlooking the sentient beings he swore to defend.
Even after another 500 years, countless glitz will disperse, Yu Qian will still stand here, and will still be praised by generations for his integrity, selflessness and courage! "
However, Yu Qian, who made such a contribution, was framed by treacherous court officials. The word "intentional" killed Yu Qian, and the word "unwarranted" killed Yue Fei! Strange injustice through the ages! I'm really angry, but this kind of thing still happens from generation to generation.
He said that there is a Yu Qian memorial hall in Hangzhou, but few people visit it. We must visit our national hero when we go to Hangzhou in the future.
Wang Shouren: a great philosopher, strategist, politician and writer. Wang Shouren is a noble person, a pure person, a moral person, a person who is free from vulgar tastes and beneficial to the people. He is a true saint and deserves it!
So he wrote in the postscript that "we can't learn from history", because what should have happened will still happen in the future, and what shouldn't have been killed will still be killed at that time, leaving us only a sigh hundreds of years later.

From Zhu Yuanzhang (Emperor Hongwu) to Zhu Youjian (Chongzhen), the history of more than 300 years is still a flick of a finger. The Ming Dynasty, which began with peasant uprising, was finally destroyed by peasant uprising and Qing invasion. People with vivid images seem to be standing in front of them, crying, laughing, arguing and making noise. There is a vivid scene in which civil servants beat eunuchs wildly in front of the emperor. We seemed to see it then.
As for Yang Lian's narrative, we can see a person's integrity and the integrity of our national spirit. Let's also feel it.
Yang Lian, under the Millennium, is immortal after all. "In fact, most of the time, except for force majeure such as Superman and Batman, evil often triumphs over justice. Only the vicissitudes of time can wash away all filth, sweep away the shame and dust in people's eyes, and see the unparalleled light of those martyrs, which will last for thousands of years. "

Reading history and looking at reality, in fact, our reality is really not much different from history. As Yue Ming said, no matter how technology changes, mistakes will still be made, violence or violence, the weak or the weak. Honesty or honesty, traitor or traitor. As the author said, traitors are despised not only by their own people, but also by their enemies. Like the traitor Hong Chengchou.
There are many classic words, so I won't list them one by one. There are many shiny or not-so-shiny figures, such as the notorious Wei Zhongxian and eunuch Sharla Cheung, who is just a nobody. It is his existence that determines the life and death of the Ming emperor, so he is still great, such as Yang Shen, Yang Jisheng, Xu Jie, Tang Bohu and Li Shizhen, such as the story of General Li Rusong. ...
……
I have a lot to say, but after reading seven books, I feel that Mingyue has said everything. I told you it was almost a dog's tail and mink. I just want to say that reality is sometimes as dark and helpless as history. For some individuals, their experiences may really drag out an ignoble existence like ants. The reality is cruel. Nowadays, in this world, it takes more courage to live than to die! So I don't despise some people who choose to commit suicide now. I just sympathize with what happened to them. Maybe sometimes life is worse than death.
There can never be empathy in the world, so now I have learned not to comment on other people's choices. The choice he made must be the best choice he made after weighing the pros and cons. In fact, we are making history all the time, living a life of ordinary people who are either sad or happy or happy or confused. We have no choice but to do things honestly and conscientiously.
Whenever you are impetuous, whenever you are difficult, whenever you don't know how to choose, look at history. In the face of history, everyone is small. And justice lies in people's hearts.
Good books can stand the test of time!
Finally, take this sentence as the end of this article, a favorite sentence. "Because I know that I am merciful!"
