the Peerless Hero Through Ages: A Biography of Liu Ji/千古人豪：刘基传

This book is divided into two parts. The first part, "A Thorny Path as an Official Under the Yuan Dynasty," draws on historical records, local gazetteers, and literary collections to detail Liu Ji's family background in Nantian, his diligent studies in youth, his success in the imperial examinations, his repeated entries and exits from the Yuan bureaucracy, and his seclusion dedicated to learning. It vividly portrays the psychological journey of his fluctuating official career. The second part, "The King's Right-Hand Man and Imperial Tutor," focuses on his role in assisting Zhu Yuanzhang in unifying the realm. It showcases his strategic brilliance in key battles such as the Great Victory at Longwan and the Battle of Lake Poyang, as well as his contributions to establishing institutions and codifying laws in the early Ming Dynasty. This biography demystifies Liu Ji and restores his true identity as a Confucian scholar. It not only covers his military and political achievements but also discusses his literary thought and the circumstances of his slander in old age and subsequent death. With solid historical research and vivid narration, this book is an authoritative biography for understanding Liu Ji's life and the history of the early Ming Dynasty.¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿ "¿¿¿¿¿"¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿ "¿¿¿¿¿"¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿ "¿¿¿¿"¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿
