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.

一本書的10年與30年 周重林 一本書的10年與30年 10年前,我剛剛上大學,終於可以扔下教科書,隨心所欲地看一些自己有興趣的作品。第一次閱讀《萬曆十五年》,來自師兄的推薦,這本書剛剛在中國齣版不到一年的時間(但這部作品已經成稿近20年),已經獲得知識界諸多好評的聲音...
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...
評分 評分兩聲歡呼,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,...

英文版讀起來更覺得語言生動,也可以想見當時的轟動性。
評分Chinese history: Ming dynasty.
評分Thought provoking. It portraits great men in the light of comprehensiveness. They were all just human after all.
評分明朝晚期的曆史現實,其中人物的悲慘處境,受製於管理製度與利益集團,壓抑而無奈。
評分原版也給力,我那本的封麵是綠色的
