Edward Hetzel Schafer (薛愛華; 23 August 1913 – 9 February 1991) was an American sinologist and a noted expert on the Tang dynasty. Schafer's most famous works include The Golden Peaches of Samarkand and The Vermilion Bird, which both explore China's interactions with new cultures and regions during the Tang dynasty.
Schafer earned a PhD from the University of California, Berkeley in 1947. He then became a professor of Chinese there and remained at Berkeley until his retirement in 1984. From 1955 to 1968 Schafer served as East Asia Editor of the Journal of the American Oriental Society, and from 1969 to 1984 he held the Agassiz Professorship of Oriental Languages and Literature at Berkeley. He is also known within sinology for his uncompromising belief in the importance of language skills and learning and his differing approach on this subject to John King Fairbank. His publications include over 100 scholarly articles and more than a dozen books. Schafer died in California in 1991.

旧版的出版社给我感觉是过分地低估读者,害怕“卖不出去”,导致书籍的设计推广走向低端庸俗化,封面一张猴屁股似的盛唐绢画女人的大脸,彩印但辣眼睛且文不对题的配图,让人感觉像国宝帮的鉴宝节目。试图去迎合大众市场,但是真的……太丑太丑了!!!! 新版采用了永泰公主墓...
评分唐代的外来文明是一个交互的定义,包括进口的——唐代人猎奇的,以及出口的——别人稀罕的。 此书涉及了唐代生活的方方面面,举凡生活所需、日常所用,包括18类170余种,令人目不暇接。重要的还不是多,而是每一种所影响的生活都如此精致,连豢养家畜都如此艺术。 因为最近关于...
评分《撒马尔罕的金桃》,多么高端大气上档次的名字!一下就能引人遐想联翩。 《唐代的外来文明》虽然直白,但作为一个题目太模糊了,就指向性来说,与这部作品也是不相符合的,叫《唐代的舶来品》还差不多。 全书十九章,按实物名称(家畜、药物、香料、纺织品等)一一列举曾经在...

In the seventh century the kingdom of Samarkand sent formal gifts of fancy yellow peaches, large as goose eggs and with a color like gold, to the Chinese court at Ch'ang-an. What kind of fruit these golden peaches really were cannot now be guessed, but they have the glamour of mystery, and they symbolize all the exotic things longed for, and unknown things hoped for, by the people of the T'ang empire. This book examines the exotics imported into China during the T'ang Dynasty (A.D. 618-907), and depicts their influence on Chinese life. Into the land during the three centuries of T'ang came the natives of almost every nation of Asia, all bringing exotic wares either as gifts or as goods to be sold.Ivory, rare woods, drugs, diamonds, magicians, dancing girls - the author covers all classes of unusual imports, their places of origin, their lore, their effort on costume, dwellings, diet, and on painting, sculpture, music, and poetry. This book is not a statistical record of commercial imports and medieval trade, but rather a "humanistic essay, however material its subject matter."
