The fifteenth year of Wanli

The 15th year of the Wanli reign

The fifteenth year of the Wanli reign, or 1587 AD, marked the year before the full deployment of the Spanish fleet to invade England in Western European history. In China, however, this uneventful year saw the occurrence of several events often overlooked by historians. These events, though seemingly minor, were in fact the crux of earlier events and the catalysts for future upheavals. In the eyes of historian Huang Renyu, the causal relationships between these events are precisely the crux of history, and our journey into grand history begins here...
The Fifteenth Year of the Wanli Reign is Huang Renyu's most celebrated work and one of his most representative works. This book, drawing upon decades of his life experiences and scholarly insights, offers the first "grand historical perspective" to analyze the complexities of Ming Dynasty society and examine the path forward for modern China, offering profound insights. Following its publication in English, the book has been adopted as a textbook by numerous American universities and has been twice nominated for the American Book Award for Best Book in History.
