Introduce the fifteenth year of Wanli, which year is the fifteenth year of Wanli

Few people observe history in this way, and even fewer write it this way.

The author Huang Renyu has exhausted 30 years of painstaking efforts, entering and exiting classics, macroscopic and meticulous research, overlooking ancient China with a transcendent and unique vision, and developing China's entanglements, confusion and confusion in front of the readers.

The English version of The Fifteenth Year of Wanli was published by Yale University Press in 1979 and has been adopted as a textbook by many universities in the United States, as well as French, German, and Japanese. It has been published in Taiwan for more than 20 editions so far, and it is the best-selling book of Huang Renyu's books.

The 15th year of Wanli refers to the year 1587 AD.

The fifteenth year of Wanli, that is, in 1587 AD, was a very calm year for the 24-year-old emperor Mingshenzong Zhu Yijun. Except for some natural disasters and plagues in the country, this year was basically peaceful, and compared with many later years, the fifteenth year of Wanli was too dull and uneventful.

The commendable event of the Ming Dynasty is: this year, the Emperor Wanli of the Ming Dynasty did not go to the court! And this period of absence has lasted for more than 20 years.

However, when we look back at the fifteenth year of Wanli, we will find that the calm at that time contained the coming storm, but the young Wanli Emperor was completely unaware of it at that time.

During this year, many small things happened, and it turned out that it was these small things that caused the storm in the future. Wanli is not in the court, there are many reasons, I won't talk about it here, just talk about its impact. Think about it, the head of an empire actually doesn't go to court, he doesn't care about anything, and he can't imagine changing to another dynasty.

But in the Ming Dynasty, especially in the Wanli Dynasty, there was no need to make a fuss. His father, Jiajing, was obsessed with medicine because of his beliefs, so he took advantage of the so-called separation of powers between the Yan Party (Yan Song), the Xu Party (Xu Jue) and the eunuchs to manage the political world behind the scenes.

When Wanli ascended the throne, he was still young, and there was a legendary minister and prince teacher Zhang Juzheng, a university scholar, and all the government was well organized and orderly. Wanli's election of imitation of the big choice of slacking off and tired of government seems reasonable, and it is even a strategy to retreat into advance.

However, the emperor does not go to court, and the leader of the symbolic country does not show up for decades, and behind this phenomenon, the hidden danger is also obvious. First of all, it is inconsistent with the law and the system.

Zhang Juzheng has been in charge of the government for more than ten years, integrating imperial power, prime minister's power, and military power, but his name is not justified, and finally he goes to the opposite side of the entire civilian official group. His failure to die well has already laid the groundwork, which is just Zhang Juzheng's personal political fate. And the national fortunes of the Ming Dynasty have also buried deep hidden dangers.

The fifteenth year of Wanli refers to the year 1587. Wanli is the Myojin Sect.

Zhu Yijun's era name, the Ming Dynasty used this era name for a total of 48 years, which is the longest era name used in the Ming Dynasty. Zhu Yijun ascended the throne at the age of ten, and Zhang Juzheng was born in the early years.

Govern, reform politics, and clear the land of the whole country.

Ten years before the reign of Mingshenzong, due to his young and dull nature, his mother Empress Li listened to the government on his behalf, and the Empress Dowager handed over all military and political affairs to Zhang Juzheng to preside over the adjudication and implemented a whip law.

A series of reform measures, the social and economic development of Machatong, the foreign military celebration hall also won one after another, the imperial court presented a Zhongxing atmosphere, known as Wanli Zhongxing in history.

Gailu Pavilion Wanli period.

During the Wanli period, it was rich, Elysium, well-off in an all-round way, and the culture was also rich and colorful. Shenzong's reign was rich and old, and Dousu Wen was not expensive. The door is less and urges people to sleep during the day, and forty-eight people are drunk.

The people have abundant food and clothing, prices are low, and few tax collectors come to collect money and grain and pay taxes, so they can sleep lazily with peace of mind, and they are drunk and do not want to wake up. Three alleys of the high mountain flowing water piano, a bottle of bright moon and breeze wine. When I wake up, I'm bored, so I pay attention to gossip.

"Autumn Moon Night in Chang'an" wrote: "Recalling the quiet years of the Divine Sect in the past, forty-eight years of high sleep. The wind and rain plough Dili, and the border court is far and near.

During the forty-eight years of Wanli's reign, the people lived quietly and peacefully. The house built is also big and beautiful. "Dazong Bodi", Chen Jingbang spent his old age with three seats and seven compartments as the main body, seven deep, left and right plus protection houses, commonly known as "one hundred and twenty rooms" big house.

The left side of the next seat house of the great sect is the gate, a pair of stone carvings holding drums, on both sides, dignified and majestic. The style of the official palace and the structure of Liang Yu completely interpret the beauty of the simplicity of Putian architecture. The prosperity of Putian culture has promoted the development of the construction industry.

In the Ming Dynasty, the county was prosperous, the first into the clouds, the famous gardens were intricate, and the balance was compared to the house. "Dazong Bodi", it can be seen that the style of the first house of the Ming Dynasty in Putian is a spot.

Under the feudal system, the residences were divided into hierarchies, and there were the first houses of the officials and the ordinary houses. "Dazong Bodi" is the first residence of the official, the overall layout, traffic organization and even the structure of the shape and carving, etc., there is the commonality of cultural self-confidence, in line with the standard of "most people", and there are moderate characteristics in the single shape and even the details.

Seeing that at the beginning, Chen Hua's rich households were accumulating like a mountain. Fuzhou green socks are a bird, and the waist is over a hundred beaches. "The wealth of the rich is piled up, the rich businessmen of Fuzhou carry their daughters to go out on a boat to do business, swaggering through the market, and the women by the river are commenting, saying that the merchant ships are coming:

For the rest of his life, he was too commoner, and he saw the prosperity of the Divine Sect. There are millions of families in the city, and they are competing for the number of songs. ”

"The Popular Romance of Qiao History" depicts the prosperous era of Wanli: Ming is really a paradise. Passed to Wanli, don't say other benefits, just say that firewood, rice, oil, salt, chicken, goose, fish, etc., which one is not cheap?

If a family of several people spends only two or three dollars a day, it is extremely rich.

There is also that small family, who carries the burden on their shoulders, earns twenty or thirty yuan a day, and can live for a day. In the evening, I have to eat some wine, get drunk and tell jokes, sing karaoke, listen to and listen to stories, bake the fire in winter and cool off in summer, and play in every way. During the Wanli period, everyone was very unhappy, and the thirteen provinces in the north and south were the same.

A generation of historians Tan Qian recalled the Wanli era in "Guoyi", and wrote with infinite emotion: "The current scholars and people are sighing, remembering the leniency of the Wanli period, chanting and longing, even if the dynasty has changed, they still remember!" "In the prosperous era of Wanli, Putian has many stories of wind and snow.
