感觉像一本枯燥的台账,只有最后几章写到靖康之耻的地方还好看一点,翻译文笔也不好。看到有人把这本书和万历十五年相比,真是太抬举了。 一个在艺术、宗教、礼乐方面点满了技能点的皇帝,政治、军事昏庸无能,一生起起落落落落落落,他的人生确实非常戏剧化。亡国其实也是积重...
评分在传统史书甚至教科书里,宋徽宗都被定格为一个只会画画、昏庸无道的失败君王,真的是如此吗?作者将宋徽宗放回到历史里面,从一个国外学者的视角来相对公正地给出了他的判断:宋徽宗不止艺术造诣极高,也一直在努力强盛宋朝,而在过程中得罪了儒家传统,或者说是偏离了儒家道...
评分史书,虽然不必俪采百字之偶,争价一句之奇;然则,大师不鸣则已,鸣必惊人,其声如万钧之洪钟,断无铮铮之细响。然我读此书,犹如身处绝塞,那种铮铮鏦鏦的钝刀刮竹声和味同嚼蜡的感觉,让人深感生而无趣之绝望。我觉得它可以换一个书名:“《真菌生物宋徽宗生活习性说明书》”...
评分早在了解宋史之前,宋徽宗赵佶的名字就如雷贯耳,谁不知自成一派的瘦金体?谁不慕悠然清雅的《听琴图》?然作为皇帝的宋徽宗是遭人诟病的,和南唐后主李煜一样,人们往往痛惜他错生在帝王家,太沉迷于艺术以至丧志、亡国。 对此说法,海外汉学家伊沛霞显然不同意。她为宋徽宗辩...
评分徐瑾 宋代是一个矛盾的时代。 前人感叹读宋史常流泪。明代王夫之曾经批判“陋宋”,国史大家钱穆更是表示汉唐宋明清中,宋是“最贫最弱”的一环,“从政治制度上看来,也是最没有建树的一环”。与此同时,宋代在华夏历史中,却又同时是斯文的代表。我们知道,宋代文化经济方面...

China was the most advanced country in the world when Huizong ascended the throne in 1100 CE. In his eventful twenty-six year reign, the artistically-gifted emperor guided the Song Dynasty toward cultural greatness. Yet Huizong would be known to posterity as a political failure who lost the throne to Jurchen invaders and died their prisoner. The first comprehensive English-language biography of this important monarch, Emperor Huizong is a nuanced portrait that corrects the prevailing view of Huizong as decadent and negligent. Patricia Ebrey recasts him as a ruler genuinely ambitious—if too much so—in pursuing glory for his flourishing realm.
After a rocky start trying to overcome political animosities at court, Huizong turned his attention to the good he could do. He greatly expanded the court’s charitable ventures, founding schools, hospitals, orphanages, and paupers’ cemeteries. An accomplished artist, he surrounded himself with outstanding poets, painters, and musicians and built palaces, temples, and gardens of unsurpassed splendor. What is often overlooked, Ebrey points out, is the importance of religious Daoism in Huizong’s understanding of his role. He treated Daoist spiritual masters with great deference, wrote scriptural commentaries, and urged his subjects to adopt his beliefs and practices. This devotion to the Daoist vision of sacred kingship eventually alienated the Confucian mainstream and compromised his ability to govern.
Readers will welcome this lively biography, which adds new dimensions to our understanding of a passionate and paradoxical ruler who, so many centuries later, continues to inspire both admiration and disapproval.

评分看完非常难过。当一个连皇宫都不能出的皇帝,只能醉心于自己的一些爱好和执念,这些爱好确实花钱,但他也并不是不理朝政。他不是个完美的皇帝,又碰上了倒霉的时候。但我们都不是完美的人类,又何必苛责于他?
评分立体全面地回顾了徽宗的一生,从浮华到潦倒,让人无限唏嘘。最具可读性的在我看来是每章最后作者的小问题和自问自答,以及最后对全书史料选择的说明。
