A microscope to Chinese political system that were operated for thousands of years

Similar with "1587, a Year of No Significance" by Ray Huang, "Ming dynasty in 1566" has concentrate the process of decline in an Oriental autocracy. No matter what aspect, this TV series is worthy of the highest rated domestictcally produced drama in China. The struggle for power is the art of checks and balances, and the political factions will never have purely good or evil in original. Whether Jiajing emperor, Hai Rui, Yan Song, Xu Jie or Zhang Juzheng. Everyone in the centre of the tide could not preserve one's own purity and integrity and play no trick to others.
