Poet and scholar Yu Shicun commented that Chongzhen's ability and character are still one of the hot topics among our Chinese. From the perspective of time cycle, the late Ming Dynasty was at a special moment, the government and the opposition seemed to lack sufficient understanding of the changes of the times, only tearing, conforming, selfish, the late Ming people did not break through the historical information cocoon, and its lessons are worth thinking about today.
