The complete disappearance by the tenth century of the medieval Chinese aristocracy, the "great clans" that had dominated China for centuries, has long perplexed historians. In this book, Nicolas Tackett resolves the enigma of their disappearance by using new, digital methodologies to analyze a dazzling array of sources. He systematically exploits the thousands of funerary biographies excavated in recent decades--most of them never before examined by scholars--while taking full advantage of the explanatory power of Geographic Information System (GIS) and social network analysis. Tackett supplements these analyses with an extensive use of anecdotes culled from epitaphs, prose literature, and poetry, bringing to life the women and men of a millennium ago. The Destruction of the Medieval Chinese Aristocracy demonstrates that the great Tang aristocratic families were far more successful than previously believed in adapting to the social, economic, and institutional transformations of the seventh and eighth centuries. Their political influence collapsed only after a large proportion of them were physically eliminated during the three decades of extreme violence that followed Huang Chao's sack of the capital cities in 880 CE.

读后感

诚如作者自己所说，有关中古门阀大族的研究一直是个热点，唐宋变革所带来的社会政治精英的转型究竟在何时发生有些争议。安史之乱一直被视作为唐朝衰落与转折的起点，社会政治精英的改造也被纳入安史之乱的影响之一。 然而谭凯成功的聚焦了一个问题：转变是一个连续性的过程，而...  

刚刚读完了上海辞书出版社的汉魏六朝诗鉴赏辞典，现在又同时在读洛阳伽蓝记和汉魏六朝文精选，所以对关于两晋以来门阀大族的历史还是蛮有兴趣的。特别看到了陈郡谢氏的谢朓，谢灵运还有很多材华横溢的文人名家最终在动荡的朝代更迭中的悲剧结局，对于本书的立义也就更感兴趣。 ...

《中古中国门阀大族的消亡》 Nicolas Tackett 这应该是一片博士论文。写论文的同学可以看看人家的结构，真的很好。 两个概念：中古，外国汉学界对中国从秦末到宋初的这段时间，即前200年到960年这段时期；门阀，是门第和阀阅的合称，从士族发展起来，到东晋达到顶峰，直至唐末...

用户评价

值得學習的是作者的數據分析法和把elite分為capital elites和provincial elites，註意到他們所擁有的資源和社會網是不一樣的。但是討論課時班裏有同學說他的觀點早在之前毛漢光和張國剛的研究就已經提出。
