Features: This book systematically discusses and analyzes the development of politics, economy, military, ethnic relations, and Sino-foreign relations in the Ming Dynasty, as well as the class structure during that period. The Ming Dynasty was a significant era in Chinese history. During this time, social productivity and the economy experienced considerable growth, with the development of commodity economy breaking through any previous historical period. This led to subtle changes in the production relations. The authors argue that the emergence of these changes marked the birth of capitalist sprouts, which were clearly reflected in both the society and production sectors at the time. The book is renowned for its rich content and detailed historical materials, with many historical accounts being more thorough and detailed than those found in similar works.
