finally finished! this book presents ming dynasty history in such a humorous and engaging way. it's really really rare to find a history book that isn't boring at all but i actually found myself looking forward to reading this every day, like it's genuinely enjoyable. the writing stirs up emotions in you that no other history book ive read has

however it's also serious when it needs to be and doesn't treat grave topics lightly. the author gets a LOT of information across. i have really gained so much knowledge from reading this. it may not be the most detailed or even the most historically accurate, but its storytelling and descriptions and the way this history is told is just soo exceptional. i don't know much about this period in history so it's great for ordinary readers to get an overview of what really happened during the ming dynasty

there are 9 books in this series so i guess it's time to start the second !!

thoughts b4 read

i hope the history nerd in me will like this a lot.

i read this for the first time in about 4th grade and thought it was extremely boring. but i also didn't understand 90% of what it was saying, so there's that.

so excited to read a 9 book nonfiction historical saga on the ming dynasty, which will either be the death of me or will revive me. idk which yet

i hope can finish by the end of 2026 LMAO, but we'll see

i do love this writing style though

終於開始了對明朝曆史的閱讀。不假思索。第一個選擇自然是這套大名鼎鼎的《明朝那些事兒》。說實話，一開始對於作者的幽默以及書籍類似兒童課本式的編排方式卻是有些始料不及。然而，在慢慢的閱讀當中，逐漸體會了作者的用心，也佩服其整合表述的能力。大概是因為之前接觸明史的機會很少，所以無法做到很好的對比，但整體而言的閱讀體驗是享受的。確實也在輕鬆中對這個獨特的王朝有了籠統的認識。

第一部書是關於朱元璋執政。讀下來最大的體會大概就是人對於控制自己惡的無能。朱元璋，大概是歷史上反腐最強的掌權者了，即便如此，貪污依然猖獗。這種夾縫求生也要作惡的行為大概在洪武年間體現得是淋漓盡致了。

本来大约在2015年，已经读过《明朝那些事儿》第一部和第二部，后面不知道为什么没有继续读下去。
