Description:

This book is a large book, covering the author's research on the political history along the Great Wall of the Ming Dynasty for at least ten years. The book centers on the inside and outside of the Great Wall and describes the political and military situation of the Ming Dynasty clearly and accurately. In the book, the author puts forward a number of new concepts and ideas, such as the "introverted dynastic state" in the early years of Hongwu, the "differential territory" of the dynastic state in the Hongwu period, the "internal affairs standard" orientation and the "contractive dynastic state" in the Renxuan period. From the perspective of the whole history and the comparison between China and the West, the geopolitical situation of the Ming Dynasty has a very grand pattern and vision. The historical materials in this book are very detailed. Taking the Ming Shi Lu as an example, all the materials related to the relevant topics have been basically digested and absorbed.
