Reflections on Wu Han's History of Ming Dynasty
Taking history as a mirror, we will never forget your initiative.

According to the arrangement of the school's reading and writing group, you can choose to study freely in June, so I chose Professor Wu Han's Wu Han on the History of Ming Dynasty. I chose this book because when I was reading History of Ming Dynasty, I saw many materials directly quoting Professor Wu's views. According to the data, Professor Wu has been engaged in the study of China's ancient history all his life, especially the study of Ming history. During his college years, he wrote more than 40 articles about the history of the Ming Dynasty. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, he presided over the excavation of Dingling, and edited Biography of Zhu Yuanzhang, Reading Notes on History, and On the History of Ming Dynasty, all of which are classics for studying the history of Ming Dynasty.

I read Wu Han's Ming History with reverence. This book is a summary of Professor Wu's many papers and works on the study of Ming history. This book consists of four parts: political trends, institutional changes, various social situations and people of the hour. It covers the politics, system, society, people and other aspects of the Ming Dynasty. Through a large number of historical materials, it shows readers the basic features of the history of the Ming Dynasty, which has high research value. Because of the length of this book, I didn't finish it in one month. Although I haven't finished reading it, I can't be calm for a long time, and I have many feelings and sighs. I want to remember it.

1. lamented Professor Wu's life. Professor Wu is well versed in the history of Ming Dynasty, and has profound insights, but he did not get rid of the laws of history in the end. Many famous soldiers in the Ming Dynasty had a rough life, but they never gave up and were full of love for life. Building an ideal country with a lifetime is only for the simple heart of people's happiness. Even if it is not understood by the authorities, it will give up its own life, make persistent efforts and stick to it. Just like Fang Xiaoru gave up his life and that of his family to defend the Confucianism in his heart. But unfortunately, Professor Wu should have had an insight into the historical truth, and should also understand that "darkness" is always short-lived, and the wheel of history will never go backwards. However, he chose to escape, which eventually made the world sigh and feel sad. If Professor Wu is still dreaming, more information about the Ming Dynasty will reappear in front of the world.

2. Praise Professor Wu's intentions. Professor Wu treats the materials left over from the Ming Dynasty with the dialectical thinking of historians. Professor Wu consulted a lot of historical materials and showed us his inference. For example, in the case of Hu, it is reported that it was caused by informers and other reasons. Professor Wu used a lot of space and real data for logical reasoning. In fact, it takes time for us to read history, because the power to compile ancient history is in the hands of the rulers, and a large number of cultural and historical materials are processed by the rulers, so we must look at these materials with cautious eyes. Every time I look at the history of the Ming Dynasty, I think of the era we are now in. We are now on the 0/00th anniversary of the founding of the Party/KLOC-. I am also studying and studying the history of the party. I find that producers always face up to their own history with a realistic attitude. We will objectively analyze the detours we have taken, face up to our mistakes and never discredit history. When studying our history, I thought of people hundreds of years later.

It's a pity that the Ming Dynasty never got rid of the laws of history. In order to consolidate the political power and let the Ming Dynasty continue from generation to generation, Ming Taizu got something for nothing, killed heroes and famous soldiers, passed down from generation to generation, and was not seized by others. However, he never realized that the Ming Dynasty was a feudal society. If the contradiction between the landlord class and the peasants cannot be solved, the crux of society cannot be effectively solved. Contradictions in feudal society always existed, and the Ming Dynasty was always replaced by a new regime. I'm thinking, if we don't solve social contradictions and recognize the law of historical development, even if we try again, we can't fundamentally avoid the danger of destruction. Looking around the world, we will find that at the same time in Europe, Europe began to break the darkness of the Middle Ages and the Renaissance appeared. In the middle and late Ming Dynasty, the seeds of capitalism gradually appeared in Europe. Europe took the lead in solving the problems of feudal society and went to capitalism, which also laid the groundwork for colonial aggression in the late Qing Dynasty. Fortunately, under the leadership of China Producers' Party, we solved the land problem in feudal society and chose the socialist road. Practice has proved that only the * * * Producer Party can save China, and only the * * * Producer Party can develop China. The socialist road is the most correct road.

4. With regard to human rights in the Ming Dynasty, in order to consolidate their political power, the ancestors of the Ming Dynasty carried out a large number of killings, and the punishment in the Ming Dynasty was very, very cruel. I have always thought that criminal law is a manifestation of social civilization and progress. In the Ming dynasty, the existence of a large number of torture was actually a kind of extinction of human rights, living like an ant and dying like dirt. When we look at the criminal law of the Ming Dynasty, we will find that the criminal law of the Ming Dynasty serves to safeguard the imperial power, and many charges are unwarranted and cannot stand scrutiny.

When we compare the legal systems of socialist countries, we will find that our country has a complete legal system. The law serves the people and protects the people, so this is the performance of our social progress and the foundation of long-term social stability.

5. When reading Ming History, I also found that there are many officials who sincerely serve the people, such as Xia Yuanji, a veteran of the Four Dynasties. He assisted Ming Taizu to realize the prosperity of Hongwu, Ming Chengzu to create the prosperity of Yongle, and then Ming Renzong, Xuanzong and Chengren Xuanzhi. He won the praise of the emperor and the people with his unique personal charm and self-cultivation. He was the finance minister of the Ming Dynasty who was in charge of the national economy, but he never attached himself to the imperial power and did not increase taxes on the people. With his efforts, he realized the rapid development of the Ming Dynasty. I'm thinking, as a teacher, we should keep learning, think carefully about everything, grasp the main contradiction of things, and constantly improve our professional quality.

There are many things in the history of the Ming Dynasty. I only read a few parts, and the gains are simple, but I will always write down my opinions and record my gains. Taking history as a mirror, we can learn from Do not forget your initiative mind.
