| Popis: | After the reign of Emperor Jiajing of the Ming Dynasty, as the problem of Japanese pirates became more and more serious, books devoted to the study of Japan began to be published. Among them, the most important ones are A Brief Survey of Japan (Ri Ben Kao Lue), A Compilation of Japanese Maps (Ri Ben Tu Zuan), A Mirror of Japan (Ri Ben Yi Jian), A Survey of Japan (Ri Ben Kao), A Record of Japanese Customs (Ri Ben Fen Tu Ji), and A Biography of Japanese Pirates in Qiantai (Qian Tai Wo Zhuan). Among them, A Mirror of Japan is a special one. In addition, there are also special books to introduce the general situation of Japan, such as A Collection of Coastal Military Maps(Chou Hai Tu Bian), Resistance to Japanese Pirates in Ming Dynasty (Huang Ming Yu Wo Lu), the Compilation of Coastal Defense (Hai Fang Zuan Yao) and the Continuation of Coastal Defense Category in Zhedong and Zhexi Regions (Liang Zhe Hai Fang Lei Kao Xu Bian). As Zheng Shungong, the author of the book A Mirror of Japan, once visited Japan twice, so many contents in the book are based on his own experience and knowledge. Therefore, his research on Japan had gone beyond the similar literature of the Ming Dynasty in breadth, depth and accuracy. Moreover, the record and analysis of the Japanese pirates in the book are of great research value. Before the publication of Huang Zunxian’s Annals of Japan (Ri Ben Tu Zhi), A Mirror of Japan was one of the highest level monographs on Japan in ancient China. |
