Features: "A Correct Account of the Sixteen Emperors of the Ming Dynasty" is a companion piece to Professor Yan Chongnian's "A Correct Account of the Twelve Emperors of the Qing Dynasty," meticulously written by young scholars of Ming history from the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, and reviewed by Professor Wang Tianyou of the Peking University History Department. This book highlights the valuable perspective of the common people, taking the sixteen emperors of the Ming Dynasty as the warp, historical events (major political events and personal fates) as the weft, the slogan of "correctly accounting for history," and the explanation of mysteries as the focus, striving to reveal the truth of history to readers and enabling people to correctly understand history through vivid historical stories.
