The Ming dynasty was the last great Chinese dynasty before the Manchu conquest in 1644. During that time, China, not Europe, was the center of the world: the European voyages of exploration were searching not just for new lands but also for new trade routes to the Far East. In this book, Timothy Brook eloquently narrates the changing landscape of life over the three centuries of the Ming (1368-1644), when China was transformed from a closely administered agrarian realm into a place of commercial profits and intense competition for status.
The Confusions of Pleasure marks a significant departure from the conventional ways in which Chinese history has been written. Rather than recounting the Ming dynasty in a series of political events and philosophical achievements, it narrates this longue durée in terms of the habits and strains of everyday life. Peppered with stories of real people and their negotiations of a rapidly changing world, this book provides a new way of seeing the Ming dynasty that not only contributes to the scholarly understanding of the period but also provides an entertaining and accessible introduction to Chinese history for anyone.

评分明代有时候感觉很近，但有时候却感觉很远。“明清”几乎成为现今人尽皆知的时代名词，几乎所有人都能如数家珍般列举出一些这个时代的历史大事件，但是如果再细致一点追问的话，那么几乎所有人都会感到困惑。明代是世界近代史的开端，但是明初却离我们已近700年，这700年的跨度...
评分中国“传统的”历史叙述认为，明中叶的中国经历了一次“商业革命”。在新中国建立以后，明清“资本主义萌芽”问题为学界高度重视，和其他四个问题并称为历史研究的“五朵金花”，并最终被定为官方论断。尽管“资本主义萌芽”已经被认为是一个不符合历史真相的伪命题，然而我们...

评分挺好的一本本科课本。现如今把故事讲的好的史家其实不多
评分一出精彩的小人物導出大格局的分析，是一本很好的引導思考的書。但需警惕小人物相對局限的生活場景和地點也十分影響他們的觸覺和生命走向。
