【媒体用稿,请勿转载】 宋代在历史上积贫积弱的形象,最近十几年得到了很大改观。学术著作、民间网文,每每提及此话题,引用陈寅恪“造极于赵宋之世”的说法,几已成为了标准操作。而随着故宫博物院近些年一系列宋画展览、众多普及型宋史著作的出版,以及宋代文人士大夫持久不...
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...
评分皇帝也是人,可是身在那样的高位,他被要求只能努力具备圣贤要求的明君品质,而不许有作为人的性情与欲望,所以徽宗对文艺的热爱,与性情相投者的交往,对道教的沉迷都成了他亡国的罪证。如果不是皇帝,他会成为一个成就卓著的艺术家,被后人赞赏,而不是被一再作为反面教材来...
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》”...

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.
这位太太我喜欢的!
评分声明一下这本来就不是小说,而是更接近学术期刊之作。Ebrey教授很严谨地描述了宋徽宗的一生,有理有据,不是戏说或者哗众取宠。正因为是严谨的学术作品,可能会少一些趣味性。是很好地让中国人了解外国这一批严谨治学的学者对于宋朝和宋徽宗的镜子。
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。
评分三星書, 一星給敍事風格。以歷史學家來說,文筆算很好了。
评分脱离了低级趣味和随意幻想的冷静文笔。
