Valerie Hansen, Professor of History, Yale University
In her study of medieval Chinese lay practices and beliefs, Valerie Hansen argues that social and economic developments underlay religious changes in the Southern Song. Unfamiliar with the contents of Buddhist and Daoist texts, the common people hired the practitioner or prayed to the god they thought could cure the ill or bring rain. As the economy rapidly developed, the gods, like the people who worshiped them, diversified: their realm of influence expanded as some gods began to deal on the national grain market and others advised their followers on business transactions. In order to trace this evolution, the author draws information from temple inscriptions, literary notes, the administrative law code, and local histories. By contrasting differing rates of religious change in the lowland and highland regions of the lower Yangzi valley, Hansen suggests that the commercial and social developments were far less uniform than previously thought. In 1100, nearly all people in South China worshiped gods who had been local residents prior to their deaths. The increasing mobility of cultivators in the lowland, rice-growing regions resulted in the adoption of gods from other places. Cults in the isolated mountain areas showed considerably less change.

感覺像introduction一樣,對南宋的民間信仰活動一個介紹,對於為什麼會選擇區域性的諸神,為什麼福建人選擇天妃而不是關羽,為什麼選擇張王而不是其他地方神仙,並沒有給齣解釋。精華的一點是將商業發展與諸神祭祀聯係在一起,描述信仰活動如何反映齣商業的發展,例如神仙們不...

評分葛兆光先生在《想象異域》中有一段這樣寫到,朝鮮的燕行使者在從柵門到北京的韆裏路上,總會感概華夏文明在衰敗。 比如看到薊州城內外,除瞭當時北方皆有的社稷壇、文昌廟外,還有東嶽廟六座、藥王廟十一座、真武廟十二座,而關帝廟竟然多達二十二座。他們就會大呼不可思議,緊...

Hansen這本書的學術價值怎麼著也能值8分啊,怎麼無論是中文版還是英文版都隻有七分多。。。

評分沒記錯的話,這書也獲過什麼什麼奬~往南跑總有點危險啊,宋代人都知道啦!
評分這本中英錯誤都好多啊,中文把deceptive concreteness翻成“濛蔽人的具體依歸”,英文又把葺捨翻譯成a gap in the thatch...真・慘不忍睹…引用的好幾則夷堅誌故事明明都有早到六朝的模闆可尋,書裏脫節來討論很沒有說服力,顯齣材料讀得太少的窘態。關於民間信仰的論述也沒有彰顯齣中國民間宗教任何特殊性,其他宗教的神也人格化啊……
