明前中期文人认为,本朝胜事除明太祖的个人品行外,多有关于宦官、外戚、兵统、刑罚、朋党、避讳等制度创举。明晚期文人笔下的胜事则关注生活琐节,对明代社会问题全然不提。明亡之后的反思认为,这些所谓的胜事未能与时俱进,最终成为明朝衰亡的症结。 In the middle of Ming Dynasty, the literati believed that in addition to the personal conduct of the Ming Taizu, most of the winners in the past were founding work on eunuchs, foreign relations, military traditions, penalties, cronyism and taboo. The success stories of the literati in the late Ming Dynasty were concerned with the trivialities in life and did not mention the social problems of the Ming Dynasty altogether. Reflections after the Ming dynasty argue that these so-called victories failed to advance with the times and eventually became the crux of the decline of the Ming dynasty.
