On the Ming History Books Compiled By the Ming Adherents During the Early Qing Period

In order to complete the Ming history, the adherents of Ming Dynasty refused to become Qing officials, however, they took part in the activities to compile many Ming history books actively and automatically leading by the nationalism and loyalty to their Ming Dynasty. There are two ways for the Ming adherents to participate in these activities: either to compile Ming history privately and separately by themselves or to help the Qing officials' Ming history compiling. They had made researches on the late Ming history to look for the reasons of Ming's decline when they wrote Ming history privately as well as to provide and check materials, or give advices to help and improve Qing official Ming history writing.
