I have always liked history, especially historical stories, and I like to see how those smart people in history use their ingenuity and strategize.
What is history?
The so-called history is the past, and its cruelty lies in the fact that no matter how you wail, grieve, pain, tear, loneliness, or regret, it cannot be changed.
By reading history, we can learn how to behave in the world, draw lessons, sum up experience, and correct ourselves.
You can also draw strength from it, for example, seeing some loyal and good generals, indomitable for the morality in their hearts, and the people living hard for life, you can understand that morality is in the hearts of the people, and you can also know that the current peaceful and prosperous era is worth cherishing.
When we turn history over, we will understand the greatness of our countrymen.
And I, after about two months, finally finished reading "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty".
This book mainly tells some stories of the Ming Dynasty during the three hundred years from 1344 to 1644. A book based on historical materials, with the era and characters as the main line, and added some novel techniques to make the book easy to read.
The author was Mingyue, an ordinary person who loved history, and completed this historical novel by flipping through various Ming history materials.
In this book, not only the history is told, but there are many more things, and their names are called:
Power, hope, pain, anger, hesitation, indifference, passion, strength, weakness, integrity, measurement, loneliness, cruelty, forgiveness, patience, evil, justice, truth, persistence, compromise, kindness, loyalty.
Through these, we can convey the greatness and wonderfulness of history.
The author believes that in a person's life, there are at least one or two things that should be uncompromising, at least one or two. Because uncompromising and insistence, although unrealistic and unhelpful, is right.
People, you have to have a little spirit, at least a little.
That's one of the reasons I love this book and history.
Before reading this book, a friend recommended it to me, telling me that this book is about those interesting stories of the Ming Dynasty, and after reading it, I found that this is not the case: this book is based on the imperial road, interspersed with some major historical figures, so as to tell the history of the rise and fall of the Ming Dynasty.
After reading it, people are full of emotion, such as -
The Chongzhen Emperor worked hard every day to make every effort, but the Ming Dynasty went to extinction at his hands, his sentence: "The king of the dead country, the subjects are the ministers of the dead country."
It's still vividly remembered, and you can't help but sigh.
And some emperors are greedy for pleasure, do not go to the dynasty, do not worry, the Daming dynasty can also be "safe and sound".
When I read that the Daming Dynasty was about to die, I hoped that there would be a miracle and then restore peace and prosperity, but history is history, and there will be no miracle.
The fall of one dynasty is not necessarily a bad thing, it may be the rise of another dynasty, it may also be the progress of the people, the awakening of the times.
But these, in the long river of time, will eventually turn into dust.
I like Yu Qian in the Ming Dynasty era, and when the country was in trouble, he was able to stand up bravely and save the country from danger; I like Chongzhen very much, even if the Daming dynasty has exhausted its strength, he must strive for the king to go wild until the dynasty really collapses; I like Xu Xiake very much, even if the family is not rich enough, I can bravely do what I yearn for - travel, and write the next book "Xu Xiake's Travels"...
I hate some hateful traitors, they brutalize loyalty, the country is in trouble, they only care about their own safety, and the seller seeks glory...
But history cannot be repeated, and it is precisely because of their existence that history is more exciting.
History has passed, but our lives are still going on, the current is the era of the epidemic, it is not easy for everyone, we need to survive this time to see the light again and do what we want to do.
This book means a lot to me, not only to understand history, but also to transcend myself.
Thanks to this book, many days and nights it has been accompanying me, accustomed to its existence, and the company of those historical figures, it is like a friend of mine, has been by my side, until today I read it, for the story in the book, still unforgettable.
Some characters are still uneasy, and now they want to say goodbye to this friend, which is really reluctant, but everything is over, just like the Daming Dynasty.
I am very glad that I was born in a peaceful era and can enjoy the dividends of this era, and I am writing this article to commemorate the feeling of reading this book.
Well, life goes on, and I'm going on a trip to the next book too.
Finally, share a favorite story:
New Zealand mountaineer Hillary, after climbing Mount Everest, is often asked a question by reporters: Why do you climb?
He never answered, so the reporter always asked, and finally once, he answered an answer that everyone could no longer ask:
Because it (referring to Mount Everest), it's there!
Because it's there.
In fact, many things in this world do not need reasons, and the reason why reasons are needed is because many people like to find smoke, and after a long time, they need reasons.
Life is not as some people say, it is short, in fact, sometimes, it is very long, especially for people in suffering, so long that they want to die.
But believe that no matter how desperate, no matter how sad, every morning you wake up and say to yourself that the world is good and strong.
Well, the road to life is very long, and going through life in your own way is a kind of success.
Wish: Live your own successful life.
Finally, I am glad that you can see this and recommend this good book to you again: May your life be full of meaning, and encourage you!
