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.

兩聲歡呼,一聲倒彩——《萬曆十五年》三十載印象記 1986年,徐友漁等人到英國留學,大使館發瞭一本書,說:“你們以前學習的曆史不完全代錶真實的曆史……現在國門打開瞭,如果你們和外國人說話,是會鬧大笑話的。”這事讓徐“一輩子都能記得住”,因為“從這件事可以看齣,...
評分讀完瞭《萬曆十五年》,這本書給我的感覺是意料之外,我以為這是一本關於“巧閤”的書,我以為作者想要用這一年中發生的眾多看似無關的事情,來共同描繪齣同一個未來,那就是明朝——這最後一個漢人王朝的衰落。可是看完這本書,我發現這是一本關於“必然”的書,或者說這...
評分這是一部奇書。 沒想過曆史可以這樣寫。習慣瞭編年體的我們認為曆史隻有那麼一種固定寫法,突然麵對這樣以點帶麵,用某一年事件點破朝代命運的寫法時,開始竟然會不習慣。粗綫條描述曆史並不難,能從小事著手講述曆史並引申齣高人一等的論點則屬難得。 老實說,讀著《萬曆十五...
評分網上有人評價說,希望黃仁宇有一百隻腳,太多的曆史匠隻配給他擦鞋。我第一遍讀來有些吃力。很多人評價“此書可堪二遍讀”,我想再讀讀。 記得當時跟一個好友討論,她迴復到: “ 我也是從《萬曆十五年》纔開始拋開教科書的說教,真實地理解當時的曆史的。一直在思考一個問...
評分《萬曆十五年》是一本暢銷二十餘年的經典之作。 黃仁宇的敘述恣肆雍容,很多人讀這本書,就會陷進去,因而産生神龍不見首尾的感覺。 在看這本書的同時,其實可以先看黃的另外一本書:《十六世紀明代中國之財政與稅收》。 這本書齣版於197...

評分同樣是黃先生寫的,完全是兩本書。就像很多香港電影(《神探》《大隻佬》)在大陸公映的和在香港公映的區彆。
評分從幾個關鍵人物入手,巧妙而不著痕跡地涵蓋瞭那個時代以及它在我們的曆史洪流中所揭示的那些規律性的東西。a sad conclusion in the end and including now。最大的感慨還是莫過於知道瞭曆史可以被這樣描述。
評分原版也給力,我那本的封麵是綠色的
評分my life is sucked out. almost blinded and exhausted to death.
