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.
Timothy Brook is Professor of History at the University of Toronto. He is the author of Praying for Power: Buddhism and the Formation of Gentry Society in Late-Ming China (1993), and Quelling the People: The Military Suppression of the Beijing Democracy Movement (1992), and the coeditor of Nation Work: Asian Elites and National Identities (1999) and China and Historical Capitalism: Genealogies of Sinological Knowledge (1999).

我认为最能反映一个王朝的兴衰是生活在王朝中的平民百姓或是小人物的生活经历。而加拿大汉学家-卜正民以独特的明朝百姓的生活视角叙述和揭示明朝的商业和文化的发展。有别与其他明朝研究著作对大人物的研究,小人物的研究更能让人感同身受。 “理想国度“ 洪武帝-朱元璋灭了元...

評分1.歐洲人也許已經具備了環航全球的技術能力,但是他們的“貿易”并非建立在市場或國內自身充足生產的基礎上。這種“貿易”依賴掠奪和奴役他人,破壞既有的貿易網絡,以極低價買人金屬、毛皮和香料,然后高價售出。尼可雷想從中國購買物品,但他沒有東西出售,他所能提供的只有...
評分“商业到底有没有从根本上改变大众和个人生活的行为方式呢?是不是这些改变引起了明后期中国所面临的明显的危机?或许恰是流动和商业,通过扩展社会生活的范围而不是从根本上改变它的构造,保证了由士绅控制的世界能够团结一致,即使在王朝分崩离析的时候。” Timothy...
