Features: The 15th year of the Ming Wanli reign, or 1587 AD, was originally an extremely ordinary year in Chinese history. Focusing on historical events and figures from around that time, the author meticulously dissects and examines the various problems inherent in the management of traditional Chinese society, and based on this, explores the lessons and experiences that modern China should take. The author is renowned for his "big history" perspective, which first emerges in this book, advocating that "narratives may be detailed, but conclusions should look far and not near." Since its publication in mainland China in the early 1980s, the book has been widely praised and has had a broad influence in both academia and the cultural sphere.
