Commentary on the book city book friend Guipu
Only by loving deeply can we understand the pain after losing, and only by having it personally can we know the joy of cherishing. Many people think history is boring and unattainable, but they don’t know that our lives will eventually become the history of later generations. It’s not that we have created history, we are just a group of ordinary people, but sometimes silent participation is also an ordinary greatness.
I have always loved history, especially the Ming Dynasty. Because at the beginning I was just addicted to historical events and remember their meanings. Yes, this is a kind of love for exams. Maybe, I am just good at exams, or rather, it is the high scores in the history exam that made me love it.
Until the third day of junior high school, I met the head teacher in a cram school teaching mathematics, physics and chemistry. I couldn't remember her face very clearly, but I still remember that she was a college student sister with a round face. Although she was strict in managing us, she would tell us history every day during lunch breaks at noon. As soon as I heard it, I was deeply fascinated by the story. I noticed that she was holding Mingyue's "What Things in the Ming Dynasty". During that holiday, I bought this set of books and read it three times.
This is why I especially like Ming History, because it made me see the flesh-and-blood Ming Dynasty for the first time. A love-hate intertwined but very real. It is no exaggeration to say that it is a people-oriented Ming Dynasty, which is vivid and attractive.
When I devoted myself to that period of history, except for some passion and excitement, I began to feel a little melancholy and regretful. Whether it was Zhu Yuanzhang who killed the meritorious officials, passed the throne to his grandson Zhu Yunwen, or Zhu Di raised an army to clear the king's side and finally became the emperor, I saw the wheel of history rolling forward, and the king's house could not tolerate any cruelty and helplessness. At first, I was dissatisfied with Zhu Di's usurpation of the throne, and felt that the ministers he killed had suffered in vain. They were actually not wrong. As often said in history books, they often said that
The success of a general was undone, and that era changed and became better and better. Zhu Di was one of the most dedicated emperors in the history of the Ming Dynasty. He almost took everything himself and went on many northern expeditions. It is no exaggeration to say that Zhu Di built the foundation of this huge empire and made the greatest contribution to his subsequent rule for more than two hundred years. In the future, there were joys and sorrows. What impressed me most was the tragedy of Tumubao and the end of Emperor Chongzhen to protect the people of the capital by committing suicide.
After more than three years, I was deeply attracted by the history of the Ming Dynasty again. This time it was Jazz's "Bring the Warehouse Back to the Ming Dynasty". To be honest, I read it with the mentality of reading system-like cool articles, but I fell deeper and deeper, because I felt that Fang Xing's appearance and his time travel made up for some of my regrets about the history of the Ming Dynasty. He made me feel that he seemed to be the embodiment of my will, and he gave me a deeper understanding of the Ming Dynasty in my impression. In the group, I also met all book friends who also love this book, love the Ming Dynasty, and love Zhu Di, a lonely, stubborn but longing for family affection.
What made me deeply fascinated by this book is not only Fang Xing's domineering aura and the influence he had on the people and the royal family of the Ming Dynasty, but also the feelings of the author's jazz. Zhu Di's sudden death made us see this somewhat inhumane emperor who struggled to support the country and fought to the last moment. Emperor Ren had been upset and kept his low profile for many years, but was dragged down by civil servants once he was promoted. Many people said that he was indecisive. In fact, he was not a fool. He just chose a relatively gentle way to change this too huge empire. The short and sudden death of his reign forced many plans to become a bubble in the middle. If I were to say the most gratifying thing, then it might be that the tragedy of Tumubao would not have happened.
The history of the Ming Dynasty is long, and our road is long. We are willing to keep accompanying the jazz. You write slowly, we read little by little, and write together the Ming Dynasty in our hearts.
Finally, I will attach a little bit of my feelings about reading the Six Kingdoms Theory, which has some relationship with the Ming Dynasty. Let’s put it below as an ending.
