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.
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...
評分书是好书,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...
評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...
評分如果对宋徽宗其人一无所知,读过本书前三部分后,会让人觉得宋徽宗是一位成功的皇帝,内政治理方面,国家经济繁荣,社会福利优渥,公共教育体系完善;文化礼仪的传播方面,制定标准化的礼仪流程,弘扬道教,建立全国宫观、祭祀体系;个人修养方面,精通诗书画,对医学有极大兴...
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。
评分這位太太我喜歡的!
评分脫離瞭低級趣味和隨意幻想的冷靜文筆。
评分伊佩霞給宋徽宗全麵翻案的著作。試圖全麵擺脫曆史的後見之明,把宋徽宗當成一個人,一個局限於當時的環境和觀念的人,並把很多當時的偶然性都考慮進去。伊佩霞是很成功的史學傢,運用材料極多,思路清晰準確;不過行文就不如專業的藝術史學者來得富於文采,讀得特彆纍。大概就像啃窩窩頭的感覺,管飽,就是沒什麼滋味。
