As early as the Warring States period in China (fourth through third centuries b.c.), debates arose concerning how and under what circumstances new institutions could be formed and legitimated. But the debates quickly encompassed more than just legitimation. Larger issues came to the fore: Can a sage innovate? If so, under what conditions? Where did human culture originally come from? Was it created by human sages? Is it therefore an artificial fabrication, or was it based in part on natural patterns? Is it possible for new sages to emerge who could create something better?

This book studies these debates from the Warring States period to the early Han (second century b.c.), analyzing the texts in detail and tracing the historical consequences of the various positions that emerged. It also examines the time’s conflicting narratives about the origin of the state and how these narratives and ideas were manipulated for ideological purposes during the formation of the first empires.

While tracing debates over the question of innovation in early China, the author engages such questions as the prevailing notions concerning artifice and creation. This is of special importance because early China is often described as a civilization that assumed continuity between nature and culture, and hence had no notion of culture as a fabrication, no notion that the sages did anything other than imitate the natural world. The author concludes that such views were not assumptions at all. The ideas that human culture is merely part of the natural world, and that true sages never created anything but instead replicated natural patterns arose at a certain moment, then came to prominence only at the end of a lengthy debate.

首先，普鳴運用史料時很注重係年（這當然是很重要的基本素養，尤其是不做“伸手黨”自己考證），而他的係年方法與其師夏含夷幾乎如齣一轍，主要是根據文本中能反映“時代特色”的語匯，再結閤齣土文獻和前人研究進行係年。其次，由於他要把先秦諸子文獻翻譯成英文，這就意味著...

文 / 楊起予（清華大學新雅書院、《作與不作》譯者）我們長時間睏惑於如何翻譯普鳴（Michael Puett）The Ambivalence of Creation 一書的書名。一天，甘陽老師提議將其譯成“作與不作”。我和幾位同學在收到消息時，都不由自主地把“作”字讀成瞭一聲。可普鳴老師卻很喜歡。原...

讀美國學者普鳴的這本《作與不作：早期中國對創新與技藝問題的論辯》，我用瞭很長的時間。說起讀這本書的最初動機，其實是想要觀照一個十分具體的當代文學問題，汪曾祺在比較長時間的文學書寫中對於技藝和勞動、手工業者、小生産者、社會分工的理解。這一寫作個案覆蓋瞭一位作...
