Harvard Chinese Company

Harvard Chinese CompanyMongolias invasion of China in the 1270s changed the course of Chinas history as the Confucian empire, which lasted for 1500 years, was quickly pushed away by foreign invasion. The figure of China, formed before the integration into the Yuan dynasty in 1279, is now hidden and no longer visible. Four centuries later, another invading force, pushed down from the grasslands, destroyed the Ming Dynasty. Harvard Chinese The Empire in Trouble is a book that identifies the reality of China that existed between these two dramatic foreign invasions.Timothy Brooke, author of the book and editor of the Harvard Chinese History (6 books), said in a Korean introduction, “ I hoped that the Harvard Chinese History series would fully demonstrate the lives and experiences of ordinary people. ” The book tracks paintings, various episodes, and lively voices to capture the energy and change of life in the Won-Myung era, and unfolds the history of the day as a story.As the title The Empire in Trouble suggests, the book curiously begins the story in horror. It was a moment when dragons appeared in the world of China. The author draws countless dragon articles into historical spacetime by interpreting climate change and natural disasters. Not only does this mean more than one of many factors affecting the lives of the original-name power and people during the four hundred years from the 13th to the 17th centuries, but the many political, economic, and social changes and Is weirdly closely related. Furthermore, the nine "swamps" presented in Chapter 3 (the authors metaphor for severe climate catastrophes and the massive catastrophes resulting from them) occurred three times in the circle and six times in the world. Attention to climate change is the beauty of this book.
