Chapter 3 foreword

History has left countless reflections and revelations for future generations. From the end of the sixteenth century to the beginning of the seventeenth century was a turbulent era. In Europe, the flowers of the Renaissance had already bear fruit, Magellan had completed the first circumnavigation of the world, Copernicus had studied the movement of celestial bodies, Shakespeare, Michelangelo The names of Luo and others have been immortalized; capitalism has begun to sprout, religious reforms and political movements are in full swing-but people have never been able to love, respect, and live in peace with each other; therefore, wars continue.

The New World of America has been discovered. For their own survival and interests, the immigrants began to use new weapons to kill the natives; in Asia, the flames of war were equally fierce. During the Warring States Period, Japan had frequent domestic wars at first, and then extended outwards after unification. The hands of aggression, bullying North Korea, and provoking international wars; China, which has accumulated two thousand years of civilization, is undergoing the process of changing dynasties. The Ming Dynasty perishes and the Qing Dynasty rises—Nurhachi is the most important name in this process.

People are the constituents of history and the interpreters of history. The history of the fall of the Ming Dynasty and the rise of the Qing Dynasty, no matter from which angle you look at it, is a page of lessons; interpreted by novels, humanity and politics take the first place. Human nature is complex, there is no absolute superiority of good and evil, nor is it a single component; every human nature has weaknesses, evil causes, but also good thoughts; and only those who can overcome the weaknesses in their own human nature can Only a true hero can contribute to the era in which he lives.

Politics and human nature are interlinked—there is an invisible bridge between the two. Therefore, no matter in politics, systems, ideas, or events, there is a hidden human nature invisible to the naked eye but felt in the heart—— Sometimes, human nature is simply the master of politics. Therefore, the focus and purpose of my historical interpretation is not just to reproduce the past, but to hope to be an inspiration for the future.
