Summary "臺灣外紀" by active 1692 Risheng Jiang is a historical account written in the late 17th century. The book delves into the history of Taiwan, particularly focusing on the rule and legacy of the Zheng family during the Ming-Qing transition, highlighting significant events and figures in the region. It examines both the political and military strategies that led to Taiwan's incorporation into the Chinese empire. The opening of the text serves as a preface that introduces the context of the narrative and the author’s rationale for documenting Taiwan's history. Risheng Jiang reflects on the significance of Emperor Zheng's actions against the backdrop of turmoil and conflict during the Ming dynasty's decline. The text outlines the efforts to consolidate power in Taiwan, the loyalty of the Zheng family to the Ming cause, and discussions about the contributions and sacrifices of key figures such as Zheng Chenggong and his descendants. Jiang emphasizes the importance of preserving this history to honor those who exhibited loyalty and valor during tumultuous times and sets the stage for a comprehensive exploration of Taiwan's complex past.
