"If you buy only one work on pre-modern Chinese history this year,
make it this one."-W. S. Atwell, History Winner of the American
Book Award for History In 1587, the Year of the Pig, nothing very
special happened in China. Yet in the seemingly unspectacular
events of this ordinary year, Ray Huang finds exemplified the roots
of China's perennial inability to adapt to change. Through
fascinating accounts of the lives of seven prominent officials, he
fashions a remarkably vivid portrayal of the court and the ruling
class of late imperial China. In revealing the subtle but
inexorable forces that brought about the paralysis and final
collapse of the Ming dynasty, Huang offers the reader perspective
into the problems China has faced through the centuries.
