My thoughts after reading "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty"

After reading a book, you must have a lot of insights in your heart. It is time to write a review to record it. Don't think that you can just deal with it casually. The following is my collection of thoughts after reading "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty" for reference only. Let's take a look. Thoughts on reading "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty" 1

A few days ago, I read the first part of "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty" - Emperor Hongwu. From the beginning, I was fascinated by the characters in the book. The story captivated me deeply. This book is one of the more special history books I have ever read. Its language is fluent, humorous, and occasionally ridiculed, giving people the feeling of reading history in a relaxed way.

The first part begins with Zhu Yuanzhang’s origin and ends with the Battle of Jingnan when Yongle Emperor Zhu Di seized the throne. It describes the most arduous founding process of the Ming Dynasty. The Taiping War and the decisive battle at Taihu Lake; the evil tiger buried on the side of the bed to eradicate Zhang Shicheng; and the biggest mystery of the Ming Dynasty - the strange Battle of Jingnan in which Yongle seized the throne and Jianwen disappeared. One wave has not subsided, and another wave has arisen. It can be said that there are climaxes one after another, and you can't stop. After reading, we know that Zhu Chongba was a penniless little monk whose main job was to beg for food. He was forced to embark on the road of rebellion and changed his name to Zhu Yuanzhang. Later, through his own efforts, courage, wisdom, determination and extraordinary military With the help of geniuses and many capable people around him (such as Xu Da, Chang Yuchun, Liu Ji, etc.), he overthrew the Yuan Dynasty and established his ideal country - the Ming Dynasty. Later, Zhu Yunwen was too kind and lost the throne, and his whereabouts became a mystery. Zhu Yuanzhang's son Zhu Di fully inherited one of his father's characteristics: either do nothing or do nothing. It was precisely because of this that he successfully rebelled and seized the throne from his nephew.

After reading it, I was very emotional: it tells us that persistent belief and fearless mind are the most powerful weapons. We must learn to be calm, persistent and decisive in doing anything. Only in this way can you stand up bravely again after failure without collapse; only then can you have the strong will and determination to overcome all difficulties and finally reach the other side of success.

This is a history book, and it can also be regarded as an inspirational book, at least for me. I have mentioned this book many times in my previous diary, so here I will focus on systematically summarizing my reading notes on this book.

First of all, history. This book tells the history of the Ming Dynasty for two hundred years, from Zhu Yuanzhang's rebellion to Emperor Chongzhen's hanging. It is divided into many angles, surrounding one influential figure after another, from their It tells their stories and the story of the Ming Dynasty from different angles, and comprehensively analyzes the rise and fall of the Ming Dynasty and the causal relationship behind it from multiple angles.

Then there is the literary value. Sima Qian's "Historical Records" is known as "the historian's swan song, the rhymeless Lisao", which means that it combines the functions of historical materials and literature. The same goes for this book. At least I think it has literary value. Its language is lively and interesting, humorous and popular, and it is touching and sincere. It can make you laugh out loud or silently feel sad. The story will keep you reading for hours without getting bored and wanting to keep reading. I think this is literary value.

In addition, there are correct concepts. There are countless historical figures written in the book. They are all noble and respectable. They all have selfish desires, but they give up their selfish desires. This is noble.

They live for their own value and meaning. This is a correct outlook on life. What they pursue is justice and equality. They devote their efforts and even their lives for their ideals. This is a correct value. If a person has an ideal, he will have a clear direction and infinite power.

Just go for it any way you want to live. Life is the first time. Life is the first time. Everything is the first time. Everything is brand new. There is unlimited possibilities. Possibilities and miracles, to believe that the power of youth can transcend death.

During the winter vacation, I read a set of books called "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty", including seven books in one book.

It is about entrepreneurship in the Ming Dynasty. From Zhu Chongba, an inconspicuous farmer, to Zhu Yuanzhang, the Hongwu Emperor in the peaceful and prosperous age, let's see how he interprets his legendary life. Zhu Chongba's life experience was bleak. He was born in the Yuan Dynasty, when the emperor was fatuous and incompetent. Zhu Chongba's parents were among the thousands of people who starved to death. So he changed his name to Zhu Yuanzhang, which means Zhu Yuanzhang, which means destroying the Yuan Dynasty. As everyone knows, Zhang is a kind of jade and can be used to make sharp weapons.

Zhu Yuanzhang began to rebel after the death of his parents. He gathered heroes from all walks of life, defeated Chen Youliang and Zhang Shicheng, two major enemies, and eventually changed dynasties and established the Ming Dynasty. Zhu Yuanzhang had a rough life. He worked as a farmer, a beggar, a monk, and finally became the emperor. After that, he also did many important things, including abolishing the system of prime minister and royal guards.

During the Yongle period, there was a man named Ma Sanbao, who was unknown to everyone. When he was given the surname Zheng by the emperor, and because he was born in the Heping period, he became well-known to everyone. Zheng He, his story is familiar to everyone.

The last emperor of the Ming Dynasty, Emperor Chongzhen, was also the last successor of the Zhu Group. After he was destroyed by Huang Taiji of the Qing Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty was replaced by the Qing Dynasty.

With constant changes of dynasties, there are constant wars and countless lives. Not what people want! Thoughts after reading "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty" 4

Recently, I read "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty", The Chinese Dream. The author's witty and humorous writing at that time made this book very interesting to read. After reading this set of seven historical novels about the Ming Dynasty that spanned more than 200 years, I found many characters that the author admired and that I liked, but what struck me most refreshingly and deeply was not the dozen or so emperors on the throne. Nor are they prime ministers who hold important positions, such as Zhang Juzheng and Yu Qian, figures who have been passed down in Qing history. What I like and admire about this man is that he is a man with dreams and ideas. He is a military strategist, a politician, and a thinker. He is Yangming, the founder of "Xin Xue". The "unity of knowledge and action" he advocated is still respected by many knowledgeable people even in modern times. I also have a dream. My dream since childhood is to grow up and become a military talent who can build the latest aircraft carrier and defend my motherland. But since I read this set of books and got to know characters like Yang Ming in the book, I realized that all dreams can only be fantasy if we don’t put in the effort. There is no shortage of people with dreams around me. Almost all my classmates and friends have dreams of one kind or another. I would like to recommend this set of books to everyone and Yang Ming’s thoughts, so that you can also know that ideals and dreams are not just ideas, the most important thing is actions. China's history of nearly 100 years, especially after the Anglo-Sino War, was bullied by Western powers and "Japan" in the East. Almost all Chinese people have a dream of becoming a powerful country. As primary school students, we have dreams of one kind or another. It is better to learn knowledge well and do our own things down-to-earth in order to realize our ideals and realize our dream of a powerful country.

On the first day of vacation, I was really bored at home, so I read "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty" again. This may be his emotion after reading history, but it made me suddenly enlightened, especially the sentence "No matter how desperate the world is, you must be full of hope." This is an attitude towards life, an open-mindedness that sees through everything, I am neither blindly optimistic nor pessimistic about giving up. I work hard to make the process more meaningful with the feeling of knowing the outcome. Isn't this the "meaning of living" I am looking for.

When I was young, I was always anxious, anxious to get ahead, anxious about why my future hadn’t come yet, and what to do if it didn’t come.

The older I get, the more I feel the sadness of life. After so many years, I am still so small and an inconspicuous dust. When will I turn into shining gold? Or has this been the case in this life, and the fate has already been decided? If that's the case, what's the point of living? I used to be so anxious and impatient, but nothing was accomplished, so I became even more anxious and even pessimistic. History looks at me, a little living creature who once had wishful thinking, with a mocking eye. Let you live for a few years, and you will start to dream! Even I can't help but laugh at myself. If you dream too much, you will eventually wake up. When you wake up, you will find that we are all going to "become dung" in the end, so why bother so much.

Perhaps many people have already understood this truth, but my stubborn mind is always struggling with why I am alive. I always want to live a meaningful and valuable life, and I always want to live a meaningful life. Having done something earth-shattering and made an immortal contribution, I always feel that I should do meaningful things and focus my energy on important things. I am completely dismissive and very contemptuous of those trivial things. He said "it's meaningless", so he made a mess of his own life and completely ignored it. He didn't even understand the accusations from people around him and said confidently: "What's the point of doing these things? You have to be able to tell its meaning." I’ll just do it!” It’s ridiculous to think about it now. Life doesn’t need meaning, because since you’re alive, you should live well. The beginning and ending are already determined, and everyone is the same. No matter you are an emperor or a rag-picker, without exception, you will "turn into dung first, then into soil." No matter how glorious you were, the ending will be tragic. Even the more glorious it is, the more tragic its ending will be, because the higher you climb, the more you fall miserably. Our starting point and end point are on a horizontal line, and the process in the middle rises and falls between these two points. Connecting all the points is an interesting function. Although everyone's life function is different, the wonderful thing is Everyone's independent variables have a certain value range, and the function values ??of the starting point and the end point are also the same, so the larger the maximum value, the larger the gap. I think I can't bear the big gap, so I can only be an ordinary little person.

I think I should do what I need to do with a calm mind, be an ordinary person, live an ordinary life, enjoy the simple happiness, and not be greedy. This is not a negative thing. If you can do everything you should do within your ability, it is a very meaningful thing in itself, and you will definitely experience endless happiness from it.

Life is impermanent, everything is endless, ups and downs alternate, and a smart person will definitely get the happiness he wants.

No matter how desperate the world is, you must live with hope and find happiness. Thoughts after reading "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty" 6

History turns out to be very exciting.

Slowly closing this book, the 276-year history of the Ming Dynasty once again passed through my mind like a movie. History is like that, no matter the changes of time, rise and fall, it is there, so objective and fair, recording classic moments and passing them down forever.

Is history just those burnt bamboo slips? Or yellowed books and broken bricks? No, no, no, history is really wonderful, each tangible object, each living person, It forms a series of unforgettable historical scenes. Each scene is so fascinating that people stop, linger, and can't bear to leave.

A book, an empire, a past event, through the dust of history, I seem to see the young monk in Fengyang Temple again, the fledgling Zhu Yuanzhang, working hard for his grand hegemony, Zhang Shicheng , Chen Youliang could not stop him. The vigorous Northern Expedition destroyed the Yuan Empire across the Eurasian continent. Three purges and bloody storms wiped out all the heroes and relatives. Everyone in the civil and military dynasties was in danger. He thought he could rest assured. He handed over such a foundation to his young grandson, and King Zhu Di of Yan was born. The Battle of Jingnan and the "Yongle Dadian" made him as famous as his father. The reign of Ren and Xuan created a peaceful and prosperous era. However, the Battle of Tumu Fort almost caused the empire to die. After hundreds of years of operation, the monarchs of the past dynasties have worked hard, but they cannot escape the law of historical development. The ups and downs are all natural. There is no need to sigh for Emperor Chongzhen who hanged himself on Meishan. The great empire of the Ming Dynasty has left enough wonderful things to history. The curtain call is over. At this time, the tragedy seems more heroic, vigorously born, vigorously died, this is the Ming Dynasty, this is history, so heroic, so charming, people have endless aftertaste.

Some people think that history is boring and boring, but the vivid and interesting narration allows you to walk on the road of history and never feel that you are walking alone. Walk into this book and walk into it. A story, as if you are in the wilderness, surrounded by mountains on all sides, with dark clouds threatening to break down, and the only sound of wind blowing in your ears, emotionally describing one scene after another, instead of cold words. As I walked, I felt a little tired. I sat on a stone bench by the roadside. There were more passers-by on both sides. Fang Xiaoru, a tall and thin man, still had the same chattering look, constantly teaching the young people around him. Man, that childish Emperor Jianwen. An upright gentleman walked slowly in front of him. He was frank and fearless. "He is not afraid of being shattered into pieces. He wants to leave his innocence in the world." Yu Qian died to show his determination to protect his family and country. Wuzong Zhu Houzhao and the serious Zhang Juzheng came and went to interpret this most glorious episode and most gorgeous chapter in Chinese history.

In the book, I forgot my worries and devoted myself to it. Taking history as a mirror, I can understand the changes. In the vast ocean of history, I roamed to my heart's content, looking for a new world of my own. Thoughts after reading "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty" 7

I used to think that history was just broken walls, ancient temples, tombs, and those yellowing books, which was simply boring. After I read "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty" written by Mingyue that year, I realized that history is so exciting!

Back then, Mingyue’s writing style was humorous, and from time to time she would make a funny statement, which made us laugh. In "Things of the Ming Dynasty", the founding emperor Zhu Yuanzhang, the Yongle Emperor Zhu Di, the literary and military genius Wang Shouren, and the famous Prime Minister Zhang Juzheng all appeared in turn, showing us a fascinating history of the Ming Dynasty.

What I admire most is Zhu Yuanzhang, whose nickname is Zhu Chongba. He turned from a cowherd boy with nothing to become the supreme emperor. Although he was able to unify China with the help of brothers such as Tang He, Li Shanchang, and Xu Da, his military intuition really impressed me. Just like on the way to the door of victory, you will pick up many keys. Some of these keys are antique and some are shiny, but only one can open that door. When making decisions, many people would put forward their opinions in Zhu Yuanzhang's ears, hand over the keys in their hands to Zhu Yuanzhang, and let Zhu Yuanzhang make a choice. But the most cruel thing about war is that Zhu Yuanzhang only has one chance to try. If he fails, , Zhu Yuanzhang will lose everything. In that complicated environment, among countless suggestions, Zhu Yuanzhang combined form and analyzed calmly, persisted in his own views, and firmly grasped the key to the door to victory. His success is no fluke, he is well deserved.

Zhu Yuanzhang’s attack on Zhang Shicheng was a crucial battle. While discussing the battle plan, a dispute broke out. Chang Yuchun believed that Pingjiang, Soochow's home base, should be directly captured. Xu Da also agreed with him. They both believed that as long as Pingjiang was captured, all Zhang Shicheng's territory would be surrendered without a fight. It sounds like their analysis makes sense.

But Zhu Yuanzhang insisted on his own opinion. He believed that if he attacked Pingjiang directly, Zhang Shicheng's troops in Hangzhou would definitely come to rescue him, and then Pingjiang would be extremely difficult to conquer. If he attacked Hangzhou and other areas first, Zhang Shicheng could be eliminated. With his wings, Pingjiang will naturally become a winner. Moreover, Zhu Yuanzhang repeatedly emphasized that people should not kill people casually. Facts have proved that Zhu Yuanzhang's decision was very wise. His military talent really amazed me!

"Those Things in the Ming Dynasty" is so exciting that it makes people want to read it again! Thoughts after reading "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty" 8

The life of a smart man inspires his descendants, but he also deserves sympathy.

"Bo Wen, why did you abandon this book and not read it for so many days?" Zheng Fuchu asked. Liu Ji bowed respectfully and said, "Teacher, the student has already understood the essentials, so I won't read it again."

No student, no matter how smart, can be proud of it. Zheng Fuchu frowned and asked in detail, even about astronomy and geography. Liu Ji's answers were all calm and thorough, and his ideas were sophisticated and mature that thousands of students could not match.

That day, Zheng Fuchu told his father, "One day, Bowen will revitalize the Liu family and bring glory to the ancestors."

A few years later, Zhao Tianze, a famous scholar in Western Shu, said this, " Among the people in Jiangzuo, this man is the only one who is intelligent, talented, and knowledgeable. His intelligence is comparable to that of Zhuge Liang, and he is definitely not an ordinary person. He will become a great asset in the future." The people who listened were in an uproar. Who gets this reputation?

Liu Ji, courtesy name Bowen, was the first counselor in the founding of the Ming Dynasty.

"Husband, why did you set out to return to Qingtian? Do you no longer care about the people?"

"If you misunderstand your ministers, you will mislead the country and ultimately the people. With my own efforts, I can't help but a drop in the bucket." At this time, he was Liu Ji, the capital of the Marshal's Mansion. Liu Ji had been ostracized many times by the courtiers, and he was resentful and wanted to hide.

1360 AD. The Yuan Dynasty was corrupt, the war was chaotic, and all forces were ready to take action. Liu Ji remained unmoved and still retreated into the mountains and forests.

That day, a servant came to report, "Sir, we have a visitor. He claims to be here on the orders of Commander-in-Chief Zhu Yuanzhang of the rebel army."

The wind was cold and desolate, and the people were roaring and shouting. The yellow leaves were blown down sharply, and finally the strong bones of the branches appeared in the sky.

In that year, Liu Ji put forward the "Eighteen Strategies for Current Affairs", which can be said to be a great achievement without hard work. Because of his strategy, Zhu Yuanzhang captured the counties in Jiangxi, defeated Zhang Shicheng, and made the northern expedition to the Central Plains to complete his imperial career.

Liu Ji hates evil as much as he hates it, and has many conflicts with things. He is naturally a thorn in the side of "gentlemen" and others. This is not to belittle oneself, but in the world of fame and fortune, he had no choice but to retire after success, and no longer served as prime minister at the beginning of Hongwu. Although Liu Ji escaped in hiding and took care of the overall situation, (Zhu Yuanzhang was suspicious because of the villain's instigation), the saying "the suspicious person is not used, the employed person is not suspicious" is the best counter-evidence in Zhu Yuanzhang. Changed to: Unfortunately, he encountered It’s Zhu Yuanzhang, not Song Taizu.)

The vigilant birds will keep flying to avoid danger, but they are the most conspicuous targets of bows and arrows. No matter how far they travel in their lives, they can be easily forgotten by time. I was amazed that none of the despicable people choked to death while eating. I wonder what Counselor Liu felt. It's useless to have any thoughts, his energy has been exhausted.

In the eighth year of Hongwu, Ming Taizu "favoured" him, and Liu Ji left not too slowly. Glasses had not been invented at that time, so loyalty could not be seen until a person died. When "the person who should go" left, a certain emperor looked back bitterly and conferred titles and titles on the deceased, which actually benefited the descendants of the Liu family.

Ming Chao’s eyes are smiling. Who is it, in the glimmer of irony, setting up a despicable secret? Thoughts after reading "Those Things of the Ming Dynasty" 9

Talking about the five thousand years of China, the Ming Dynasty must be one of the most dazzling stars in the galaxy of history. Today, I want to talk about my thoughts on reading "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty".

The author of "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty" is Mingyue Nian (real name Shi Yue). It took him at least three years to write this book. What is this book about? It is mainly about what those influential figures in the Ming Dynasty thought, said and did, and there is no protagonist throughout the book.

When he talks about history, he brings his own unique humor, wit, philosophical thinking and...sadness. There is a sense of humor between the lines - although I feel that sometimes he is pretending, This is superficial; but I keep things like sadness deeply in my heart.

After watching several "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty", it not only makes people feel excited. We can not only think about the fate of the country from a big perspective, but also praise the valuable qualities of some historical figures from a small perspective: tolerance, bravery, kindness... We can also condemn the cruelty, fear, rage, etc. of some rebellious officials and traitors.

Today we will talk about the performance and role of "bravery" in historical events.

Bravery, at a small level, means being able to speak your mind at critical moments; at a big level, it means having the spirit of responsibility for the rise and fall of the country!

Okay, the protagonist we want to talk about this time is Yu Qian. As I said, this book does not have a protagonist who dominates the whole book. Yu Qian is only the protagonist of this incident. Although there is only one incident, we can draw a lot from this incident.

First let us review history: In the entire history of the Ming Dynasty, the Battle of Tumu Fort was also a relatively famous battle. In that battle, the Ming Dynasty directly consumed all its front-line soldiers. Let the entire Ming Dynasty be exposed to the enemy's fangs like a child. With just a slight touch, the Ming Dynasty will collapse. At the time of crisis, most people suggested moving south and abandoning the capital Zhuojun (today's Beijing). Judging from the overall situation at that time, this was undoubtedly the right choice. But it later proved that if this method had been implemented at that time, history would have changed and the Ming Dynasty would have ended. In times of crisis, one man's roar brought the Ming Dynasty back on track. "Those who suggest moving south should be killed!" Yu Qian shouted this brave voice, and the important task of saving the Ming Dynasty fell on his shoulders. This is a road of no return. If he loses, the entire dynasty will be over, and he may be infamy for eternity. However, despite this, as a civil servant, he still stood up.

"Yu Qian, how sure are you?" "Not much." "Can you win?" "I don't know." "Then why did you still stand up?" "Every man is responsible for the rise and fall of the country. . ”

This is not a famous dialogue in history. To be precise, this dialogue does not exist at all. However, I believe that this conversation must be Yu Qian's inner confession. This is bravery.

Although we cannot be as great as Yu Qian, we must appreciate the dazzling light radiating from Yu Qian.

In daily life, difficulties are everywhere. When we encounter difficulties, we must not escape, we must learn to face them. "The battle will definitely come. If we just escape blindly, we will never reach the tomorrow we expect!" I have seen many people who will involuntarily retreat when difficulties come; but there are also some people who will move forward. When the cowardice in their hearts strikes, they will wield the hammer of will to crush it, stride forward, and eventually overcome the difficulties. This is bravery!

Being brave is not just words and words. True bravery is taking action! 10 thoughts after reading "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty"

"The cabinet does not believe in tears" , when you hear this topic, you know that this is a period when ministers are very active. During the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty, the emperor only practiced Taoism and did not work, and the eunuchs were suppressed, so the ministers entered the "golden age". Loyal and treacherous ministers fought openly and secretly, literati and military generals showed their talents, the officialdom was triumphant and frustrated, the frontier battles of wits and courage, and the literary world. Hundreds of flowers bloom, and Mr. Mingyue's writings are full of fun and not complicated at all.

At the age of twenty-seven, Yan Song became a scholar and entered the Hanlin Academy. He originally had a bright future, but because he couldn't bear to be associated with the treacherous officials in the court, and after his mother died and returned home to observe mourning, he decided not to become an official in the court.

At this time, Yan Song was young and vigorous, and wanted to contribute to the court and benefit the people. He kept a low profile and bided his time.

Ten years later, the villain stepped down, and the time had come to serve the country, but Yan Song was left out in the cold as soon as he entered Beijing. "Yan Song is forty-one years old this year. His seniors and superiors have retired, and his peers have all been promoted. The juniors don't agree with him. He has become a burden that no one cares about and no one cares about." Fortunately, he was put in power. Yan Song was promoted by his friend, and it was this mention that made Yan Song taste the sweetness of power. The tree of integrity in his heart began to waver, and the seeds of greed had already sprouted. Time waits for no one, and I have achieved nothing after my forties. In order to survive in the officialdom, I have to throw away some of my backbone, forget about integrity, and try to flatter people. Anyway, my principles are still there. As for those who are really excessive, I still Be forthright and speak your mind accurately.

In fact, Yan Song is still saved. Only when you are in power can you basically ensure that your life is safe, and you can only be promoted if you make the emperor and the cabinet happy. But as long as you do things for the people and have the world at heart, you can still be considered a good minister. It's a pity that Yan Song completely abandoned his principles. He formed the official values ??of "shameless, unscrupulous, and willing to betray the world for his own interests." No wonder. When Yan Song was young and talented, his treacherous ministers were in power and he failed to achieve his ambition. When he came back in his forties, he was left out and failed to achieve his ambition. Only when his friends succeeded in promoting him to a higher position did he achieve his ambition. And these so-called failures and successes are inseparable from money and power. He is almost sixty years old and is really scared. What does the world have to do with me? Getting your own benefits is the right way. So he became greedy and never returned. Later, he was overthrown and his house was ransacked for more than a month.

Yan Song compromised with the system, power, desire, and human nature. He completely forgot about his original intention to serve the country, and only knew how to sell his official position. In the end, the chief minister of the cabinet was reduced to begging on the street and died in the wilderness. , I can only say one thing.

"Those Things in the Ming Dynasty" is easy to understand and down-to-earth. It changes the boring and plain style of official history. The whole historical process is particularly ups and downs expressed in interesting language, which is as fascinating as a novel. It opens a door to the Ming Dynasty for us. We can look at those living characters and specific events with critical thinking, form our own opinions and experiences, and have a more comprehensive evaluation of the entire dynasty.
