Comment of Reader：
“This is a book about beauty. I used to see a photo of a beach densely scattered with dead dolphins， for which the global warming-up and changes to the ecosystem is the major cause. I’ve also seen pictures of the starving African children. I would also recall the deaths and injuries during Sichuan Earthquake in 2008 and the bloodstains of the country victims of the Japanese bombers I witnessed when I was a child…Then， where is beauty？ Beauty is a personal feeling and perception， which then broadens our understanding of this world， and inspires our thinking and wills. The recesses of beauty are the recesses of our mind， the recesses of nature； nature is the reality of beauty.” About the author

D.） is an important dynasty in ancient China， which witnessed a most flourishing age and first contact with the western world in the history China （the Portuguese were permitted to build their housing in Macau in 1513）. As far as the cause of its decline is concerned， some researchers argue “the fall of the Ming Dynasty was due to its frontier defense.” The book includes a study on the historical materials about the provisions and funds for troops at the frontier during the 60 years from the 10th year of the reign of Jiajing Emperor （1531） to the 30th year of the reign of Wanli Emperor （1602）.

Comment of Reader：
“This is a book about beauty. I used to see a photo of a beach densely scattered with dead dolphins， for which the global warming-up and changes to the ecosystem is the major cause. I’ve also seen pictures of the starving African children. I would also recall the deaths and injuries during Sichuan Earthquake in 2008 and the bloodstains of the country victims of the Japanese bombers I witnessed when I was a child…Then， where is beauty？ Beauty is a personal feeling and perception， which then broadens our understanding of this world， and inspires our thinking and wills. The recesses of beauty are the recesses of our mind， the recesses of nature； nature is the reality of beauty.” About the author
