Features: Wang Hongpeng was born in 1954. Before the age of 10, he could not read; before the age of 20, there were few books to read; before the age of 30, he bought books as soon as he had money; before the age of 40, he had books but no time to read them. At the age of 42, he made a firm decision to dive into the sea of books. Over 8 years, he successively edited and wrote parts of Biographies of Chancellors of China in Ancient Times, Literary Chancellors of China in Ancient Times, Military Chancellors of China in Ancient Times, Armed Chancellors of China in Ancient Times, Second Place Winners of China in Ancient Times, and Third Place Winners of China in Ancient Times (Ming Dynasty section). He independently selected and annotated the Ming Dynasty volumes of Poetry of Chancellors of China in Ancient Times, Poetry of Second Place Winners of China in Ancient Times, and Poetry of Third Place Winners of China in Ancient Times.
The 5,000-year-long history and splendid culture of China have produced many renowned scientists, military strategists, writers, and artists in various fields. Among them, the Chancellors, Second Place Winners, and Third Place Winners were "top three" figures produced through the tiered examination system of the imperial examination. Through extensive research into classical texts and historical records, the author has unearthed some poems of the Chancellors during the Ming Dynasty. This fully showcases the trends and various schools of poetry at the time,ing the unique life experiences and joys and sorrows of the Chancellors in their official careers.
This book stands out for its comprehensive roster of figures, diverse themes, rigorous selection and annotation, and varied styles. It is highly readable, collectible, and practical, making it particularly valuable. The series is published in a series format, not only enriching the literary treasure trove of traditional Chinese culture but also filling a gap in the study of imperial examination figures.
