The History of the Ming Dynasty is the last of the twenty-four histories, with a total of 332 volumes, including 24 biographies, 75 chronicles, 220 biographies and table 13 volumes. It is a biographical history of the Ming Dynasty, recording the history of more than 200 years from the first year of Hongwu of Zhu Yuanzhang (A.D. 1368) to the seventeenth year of Chongzhen in Zhu Youjian (A.D. 1644). The number of volumes is second only to the History of Song Dynasty in the twenty-four histories, but its compilation time is long and its diligence greatly exceeds the previous history. After its completion, it was praised by later historians as surpassing the history of Song, Liao, Jin and Yuan Dynasties. Zhao Yi, a historian of the Qing Dynasty, said in Volume 3 1 of Notes on Twenty-two Histories: "The recent history is outside Ouyang Gong's History of the Five Dynasties. The Liao history is brief, the Song history is complicated, the Yuan history is sloppy, and the Jin history is elegant and concise, but it is not as impressive as the Ming history."

I was asked to compile Ming History, and I sincerely thank you. Fu Yi Yao Tu came into being, and Dan Lun is the last work of bamboo slips. Jade Bureau is in charge of the history of history. A century-old conclusion, a generation of old news, compiled in the Xing Dynasty, graduated from school? On this day. Hang down the bookstore and revitalize the book forest. Stealing the Taoist theory is the first priority, and the chronicle will return to history. There are ups and downs, where are the traces of the seventy-two kings? Laws and precepts are crucial, and the 21st history was compiled in. Following the rule of salty five liters and three liters, the heart source does not leave Jia Shi; Open the unified model of Wanfang, and Canon system will be involved in modern times. The condition is that when I was 18, my calendar was long and I was physically disabled. Simplicity first, unity long; Containment can be broken, impartial. Exam composition, used to prepare the secret of the mountain; It is a matter of rhetoric and a view of dusty night. Emperor Qin Wei used the six-day emperor holiday to provide three treatments. Shao ting built a pole and smashed integrity; Canon learns from Fu Xin, full loyalty, and the unity of respecting quality and literary talent. Look at human nature and transform the world, and only learn from things; Wait for a hundred kings, and compromise is necessary.
Cabbage's History of the Ming Dynasty is a Confucian scholar. Ji Tong has been around for more than 200 years, and there are six emperors from generation to generation. The strategy of starting a business is remarkable; The rules of cultural relics are well prepared. After he ascended the throne, Fafo died in the temple; Down to the last stream, power was transferred to the temple. There is no Fiona Fang without rules, both external and internal; Because of the disaster atmosphere, it is also the decline of literature and the disadvantages of martial arts. The dynasty was depressed, and the sky was gone; The thief's flame is open, and it is obvious that he will be lucky in the end. Our country inherited the destiny of scenery, built Longji in Zhao Xiu, swept away the gun barrel with our fingers, and drew a picture of Wang Hui. Wash away the crimes of bandits and thieves in the Central Plains and save my livelihood; Comfort the heart of the former emperor and report the national humiliation. Up to now, Hou Beike has passed, and beans come down in one continuous line; Still guarding Wei Ling, don't lose sight of it. If it is, it will expand the dragon's demeanor in the overload, which is extremely superior; Therefore, there is no taboo in learning Chunqiu.
First, the long series is sweating like a pig, and the miscellaneous notes are wrong. Jing is difficult to die, and rumors are different; Pursuing respect and courtesy, gathering lawsuits and disputes. The danger of falling into the foundation of the country is brewing into a "bright spot" fracture. There are four military symbols, and the charges are difficult to understand; The party talks about seeking each other, talking about chastity, and talking about evil transactions. Most official records are absurd; The inscriptions handed down by the family are also exaggerated and inaccurate. If you want to deliver a letter today, you can take a scholarship and participate. Yang Wei, the emperor of Saint Zuren, was a scholar looking for books, and handsome in Luojian Mountain. Create things and make up for them, and expand their years. I, Emperor Sejong-hyun, reiterated the purpose of public caution and expounded the advantages of detailed discussion.
Jucheng served as the president officer at that time, and the rate was the same as that of the editor. Collect official and folk records and review old and new experiences. Although there are many signatures, we can see each other. However, Wang's "historical manuscript" has been painstakingly managed by celebrities for 30 years. Enter the Red Chamber and be granted a secret cabinet. The beginning and the end are a little rough, but the facts are quite detailed. In the past, Hanshu was edited by Ma Qian, while Shangshu was originally written by Liu Shao. If it is true, it is too much to follow the trend. It was compiled and used as the first draft. For example, the first is caution; Tell the truth and serve the country faithfully. Yueji, Yuezhi, Yuebiao, Yuezhuan, the pre-historical school; Or detailed, or omitted, or combined, or divided, to test the heart at that time. The metaphor of * * * in the period of literature and art swept away difficult and vulgar words; It is absurd and strange that things must be recorded. Within five years, I was moved by my colleagues several times; This book has more than 300 volumes and will be finished at any time. The victorious country, the monarch and the minister are cool, and the reality depends on it; If you are tired of getting up in the morning, you will be prepared for it.
I waited for Xie, and I learned to be ashamed. Fortunately, Juve's generation was still discussed by our ancestors; Dare to learn from the past, look forward to the wind in the author. Respectfully enlighten and give it to catalpa people. I hope that the golden mirror will be hung high and the fulcrum will be wide. Visit the past to verify the source of gains and losses; Establish a grand heart and show the degree of relaxation. Without idleness and famine, we will be happy and prosperous; Guan Yunchang trusted Zhao Min, but when he lived in Yin Jian. Then you will be the first person to be crowned as a hundred kings, because leather can be used for eternal life; Before making a thousand sacrifices, politics and religion pursue eternity. I would like to compile twenty-four volumes of local chronicles, seventy-five volumes of local chronicles, thirteen volumes of tables, two hundred and twenty volumes of biographies, four volumes of catalogues, and three hundred and thirty-six volumes of * * * * into twelve letters. I'd like to attach a form for your reference.
