从西方学者笔下看中国历史,从中得到的体验也是很独特的。“肇造区夏”其实就是“制造华夏”的意思,光从名字看来,会以为全书应该会聚焦于夏商周时期,但打开书你会发现这本书其实是一本讲宋史的书。 作者认为之所以是宋“肇造区夏”,其中的缘由有三点: 1.对“汉人”这个词...
评分精读十天,非常客观的评价。 学者著书有自己的角度和思索。每读一本书都是新思想的互相碰撞,读书人得学会“求同存异”。 到了宋代,这种“普天之下”的观念就不再为人认同。与现代民族主义观念不同,宋人并没有将皇帝视为某个特定民族的统治者。相反,他们认为皇权仅限于四夷...
评分来源:《读书》2019 年第 05 期 【编者按】本书可谓1957年版《汉民族形成问题讨论集》在六十年后全新学术语境下的续篇。面世一年,尚未见西文书评跟进发表。足见作者敢于在这个极宏大而复杂的课题领域里单骑独进的魄力和勇气。自我身份意识需要在与他者的关系结构中才得以明确...
评分今年读过的很棒的宋史书又新添了一本《肇造区夏》。 这本书填补了我对中国民族主义形成史的理解空白。更确切地说,读硕的时候在社会学系上民族主义的课,Ernest Gellner、Benedict Anderson的理论自然是要学习的,但当时我就对19-20世纪由欧洲定义的“民族主义”是否适用于中国...

In this major new study, Nicolas Tackett proposes that the Northern Song Dynasty (960–1127) witnessed both the maturation of an East Asian inter-state system and the emergence of a new worldview and sense of Chinese identity among educated elites. These developments together had sweeping repercussions for the course of Chinese history, while also demonstrating that there has existed in world history a viable alternative to the modern system of nation-states. Utilising a wide array of historical, literary, and archaeological sources, chapters focus on diplomatic sociability, cosmopolitan travel, military strategy, border demarcation, ethnic consciousness, and the cultural geography of Northeast Asia. In this ground breaking new approach to the history of the East Asian inter-state system, Tackett argues for a concrete example of a pre-modern nationalism, explores the development of this nationalism, and treats modern nationalism as just one iteration of a phenomenon with a much longer history.
