The society is very big, and no one can pay attention to all aspects of the whole society in detail. Only through models and experiments can the points, lines and surfaces be connected. This is true for small countries, especially for big countries like China. So Ma Boyong's Daming under the Microscope is a book worth pondering.
The decline and fall of the dynasty, when I saw Ma Boyong's new book, my first instinct was that I should read it with the fifteen years of Wanli. Daming under the microscope is full of fun, and when he reads it, he often can't help laughing. The style of writing in fifteen years of Wanli is calm and self-sustaining. If I am not a professional, it may be a little dull when I watch it.
Film Review of the TV Series Daming Silk Case under the Microscope
The case of Daming Silk under the Microscope is launched from the perspective of civilians, revealing a corner of the chaos of bureaucracy in Ming Dynasty. At the same time, the combination of "light comedy+suspense" is also very pleasing, which makes the play show the exquisite atmosphere like a stage play. The drama is full of cultural sense, showing the customs, history, humanistic atmosphere and institutional etiquette of the Ming Dynasty, but this story about "bookworm" Shuai Gamo correcting the mistake of silk tax collection is a bit difficult to bring in.
Compared with the original work, the drama weakened the tragedy of the little people, criticized the accumulated disadvantages of the political ecology of the Ming Dynasty, and finally came down to the theme of "the problem of arithmetic must be solved by arithmetic", but it still brilliantly presented the game between ordinary people, people, squire, county magistrate, state capital, governor, emperor and many other groups and interest groups.
