1、作者对本书的立意很好,用一个不同视角,站在宋徽宗所处于的历史局限性的角度来看问题很有新意。对历史选材也很有考究和谨慎。以往史学界一味的批评,有其特有目的,比如提醒当下的统治者,往往要找一个历史上的人物作为用来惊醒的工具。其次,跳出历史局限性来评价人物,往...
评分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 评分选择读这本书,因为喜欢瘦金体和《听琴图》。在读之前,对宋徽宗的印象主要有两方面:一是受小说《水浒传》和岳飞《满江红》一词的影响,这个皇帝贪图个人享乐搜刮民脂民膏,使得众多英雄豪杰被逼上梁山早反,后来被金人抓去做牛做马,导致靖康之耻北宋灭亡;二是宋徽宗的艺术...

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.
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?
评分书是好书 基本重塑了一个徽宗和他的时代 然鹅 # 番邦能把贵国皇帝的大头像搞清楚 而天朝著名的文化品牌理想国 却 不 能
评分脱离了低级趣味和随意幻想的冷静文笔。
评分殊途同归
