Historical Writing on the"Strange Dreams"of the Martyred Ministers at the End of the Ming Dynasty in the Early and Mid-Qing Dynasty
In the early and mid-Qing dynasty,the historical writing on the"Strange Dreams"at the end of the Ming dynasty martyred ministers by Ming loyalists and official historians was a typical struggle over historical discourse.The Ming loyalists were devoted to constructing the"Strange Dreams"at the end of the Ming dynasty martyred ministers,to symbolize superior wisdom,loyalty,and extraordinary encounters.For them the recorded dream images had a clear"timeliness,"reflecting their interest in preserving history,their original intention to commend loyalists,their emotions for their motherland,and their desire to express their hearts,full of the strong color of the survivors.The official historians catered to the orthodox theory that"it is most reasonable for our dynasty to obtain the right to rule from ancient times",that was repeatedly emphasized by the Qing rulers.The official historians tended to deny the rationality of the ministers who died in the late Ming Dynasty and"Strange Dreams"and gradually or even completely outlawed the ownership of the"Strange Dreams"to provide a precursor to the political reform and innovation of the Qing dynasty,which was a time-sensitive argument.
