從不同材料拼湊起來的宋徽宗的重新審視,厚厚的書多半是材料地堆積和故事的敘述,缺乏critical的成分,顯得索然無味。
评分伊佩霞给宋徽宗全面翻案的著作。试图全面摆脱历史的后见之明,把宋徽宗当成一个人,一个局限于当时的环境和观念的人,并把很多当时的偶然性都考虑进去。伊佩霞是很成功的史学家,运用材料极多,思路清晰准确;不过行文就不如专业的艺术史学者来得富于文采,读得特别累。大概就像啃窝窝头的感觉,管饱,就是没什么滋味。
评分看完非常难过。当一个连皇宫都不能出的皇帝,只能醉心于自己的一些爱好和执念,这些爱好确实花钱,但他也并不是不理朝政。他不是个完美的皇帝,又碰上了倒霉的时候。但我们都不是完美的人类,又何必苛责于他?
评分宋徽宗需要彻底地重新被评估,正如Ebrey所说,他是一个天才政治家。小岛毅也有研究认为作为新法党的蔡京的政治行为应该被重新评估。
评分殊途同归
Patricia Buckley Ebrey is Professor of History and Chinese Studies at the University of Washington.
China was the most advanced country in the world when Huizong ascended the throne in 1100 CE. In his eventful twenty-six year reign, the artistically-gifted emperor guided the Song Dynasty toward cultural greatness. Yet Huizong would be known to posterity as a political failure who lost the throne to Jurchen invaders and died their prisoner. The first comprehensive English-language biography of this important monarch, Emperor Huizong is a nuanced portrait that corrects the prevailing view of Huizong as decadent and negligent. Patricia Ebrey recasts him as a ruler genuinely ambitious—if too much so—in pursuing glory for his flourishing realm.
After a rocky start trying to overcome political animosities at court, Huizong turned his attention to the good he could do. He greatly expanded the court’s charitable ventures, founding schools, hospitals, orphanages, and paupers’ cemeteries. An accomplished artist, he surrounded himself with outstanding poets, painters, and musicians and built palaces, temples, and gardens of unsurpassed splendor. What is often overlooked, Ebrey points out, is the importance of religious Daoism in Huizong’s understanding of his role. He treated Daoist spiritual masters with great deference, wrote scriptural commentaries, and urged his subjects to adopt his beliefs and practices. This devotion to the Daoist vision of sacred kingship eventually alienated the Confucian mainstream and compromised his ability to govern.
Readers will welcome this lively biography, which adds new dimensions to our understanding of a passionate and paradoxical ruler who, so many centuries later, continues to inspire both admiration and disapproval.
1、作者对本书的立意很好,用一个不同视角,站在宋徽宗所处于的历史局限性的角度来看问题很有新意。对历史选材也很有考究和谨慎。以往史学界一味的批评,有其特有目的,比如提醒当下的统治者,往往要找一个历史上的人物作为用来惊醒的工具。其次,跳出历史局限性来评价人物,往...
评分书是好书,之前看方诚峰老师的《北宋晚期的政治体制与政治文化》时,就发现引用了《宋徽宗》的英文版,从引用上来看是本好书,方评价也高。但刚买上来,粗略地看了一下,因为最近看了宋朝祭祀的问题,翻到景灵宫,“真宗发现宋朝的创始人是玉皇大帝/黄帝的后裔,便将这两位尊为...
评分赵宋王朝的诸位皇帝当中,宋徽宗是个独特的存在。尽管对时人而言,位居权力顶峰的他,高不可攀,但后世记住的,要么是他无能君主的形象——被金人掳走,沦为阶下囚——赵宋王朝威风不再,要么是作为非凡艺术家的他,不但以瘦金体在书法史上占据一席之地,而且还以高超的画技闻...
评分感觉像一本枯燥的台账,只有最后几章写到靖康之耻的地方还好看一点,翻译文笔也不好。看到有人把这本书和万历十五年相比,真是太抬举了。 一个在艺术、宗教、礼乐方面点满了技能点的皇帝,政治、军事昏庸无能,一生起起落落落落落落,他的人生确实非常戏剧化。亡国其实也是积重...
