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.

我很喜歡黃仁宇的敘事風格,正如一位老人坐在你麵前,用沉穩的語調,將那些陳年舊事浮光掠影一一道來。他的筆墨飽含深情,很有感染力。更為重要的是:他說的是“我的大曆史觀”。曆史,應該有多重麵目。我更喜歡個人的、情緒化的讀史心得。正統的曆史觀雄霸課本、廣播、電視...
評分韌性、差異化競爭及推廣 ——我編輯黃仁宇作品的體會 按:這是應《中國編輯》約稿而作,刊今年第六期。據編輯耿麗萍小姐說,是俞曉群先生推薦我的。謝謝俞師。 英國知名齣版人吉爾•戴維斯在其《我是編輯高手》中專列一章,標題就叫:“編輯難,難如登天。”做個好編輯,隻...
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...
評分有可能是黃仁宇這本書的寫作方式,也有可能這就是中國曆朝曆代曆史人物的悲哀,看過這本書兩天以後,再去迴想,帶給我的最大感觸還是那些一心想要為國傢進步,體製完善,窮盡一生的努力卻最終泯滅在曆史的長河中變成塵埃的這些人。 他們的遺憾痛苦,掙紮與寜死不屈,堅持與正...

評分a great book
評分<萬曆十五年>英文版
評分Every chapter is a thread, each with a bead of person, e.g. Li Zhi the bead on the thread of mindset and Qi Jiguang - military system. Those threads were intertwined with each other and became an unsolvable Chinese Gordian knot that strangled their throat.
評分英文版讀起來更覺得語言生動,也可以想見當時的轟動性。
