Nicolas Tackett is Associate Professor of History at the University of California, Berkeley.
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.

評分就論述中國史的骨架,即時代劃分這一問題,內藤湖南提齣過有名的“三分法”:古代(或稱上古)=太古至秦漢,中世(或稱中古)=後漢至五代,近世=宋代以後。內藤史學關注中國內部的階層變遷,重點分析在政治、社會上中古貴族勢力何以衰落,庶民力量何以上升,以及貴族文化的沒落...
評分有人認為此書沒有新意、無聊。可能是因為我不是曆史學科班齣身,曆史書讀得少吧,我認為這部書挺有新意的。讀完收獲挺大的。裏麵的研究方法和曆史教科書完全不同。措辭也挺謹慎的,總是根據已有的證據提齣新觀點。還真沒見過能與之媲美的中國本土學者的作品。 作為一名理工科...

評分熟悉毛漢光的讀者大概不會對本書的方法和一些結論感到驚艷。作者最核心的觀點其實就是“士族中央化”對士族覆滅的影響。稍有新意的我認為是本書的第四章,作者通過士族在藩鎮上層的普遍任職及與中央的密切聯係說明瞭藩鎮對唐代在安史之亂後能夠延續其統治的重要貢獻。 語言是限...

去年的新書。capital elite論述的非常有啓發,作者認為中古士族大傢結束於黃巢之亂。
評分Huang Chao as the decisive turning point; a sequel on cultural transformation will follow. Not critical enough for tomb epitaph rhetoric.
評分我認為作者還是有非常高超的技巧,一個網絡分析可能引發無數的批評,但是作者在嫻熟的學術自澄中限定好瞭研究目的與研究問題,我覺得這就夠瞭。雖然大小結論上稍顯過時,但是通過量化分析與前人研究的對話還是給人很大的啓發。
