圖書描述

In 1221, in what we now call Turkmenistan, a captive held by Mongol soldiers confessed that she had swallowed her pearls in order to safeguard them. She was immediately executed and eviscerated. On finding several pearls, Chinggis Qan (Genghis Khan) ordered that they cut open every slain person on the battlefield. Pearls, valued for aesthetic, economic, religious, and political reasons, were the ultimate luxury good of the Middle Ages, and the Chingissid imperium, the largest contiguous land empire in history, was their unmatched collector, promoter, and conveyor. Thomas T. Allsen examines the importance of pearls, as luxury good and political investment, in the Mongolian empire—from its origin in 1206, through its unprecedented expansion, to its division and decline in 1370—in order to track the varied cultural and commercial interactions between the northern steppes and the southern seas.

Focusing first on the acquisition, display, redistribution, and political significance of pearls, Allsen shows how the very act of forming such a vast nomadic empire required the massive accumulation, management, and movement of prestige goods, and how this process brought into being new regimes of consumption on a continental scale. He argues that overland and seaborne trade flourished simultaneously, forming a dynamic exchange system that moved commodities from east to west and north to south, including an enormous quantity of pearls. Tracking the circulation of pearls across time, he highlights the importance of different modes of exchange—booty-taking, tributary relations, market mechanisms, and reciprocal gift-giving. He also sheds light on the ways in which Mongols' marketing strategies made use of not only myth and folklore but also maritime communications networks created by Indian-Buddhist and Muslim merchants skilled in cross-cultural commerce.

In Allsen's analysis, pearls illuminate Mongolian exceptionalism in steppe history, the interconnections between overland and seaborne trade, recurrent patterns in the employment of luxury goods in the political cultures of empires, and the consequences of such goods for local and regional economies.

因為對濛古曆史和environmental science感興趣,讀瞭這本書。研究濛古曆史的門檻是五種語言起.....感謝已逝大佬通過畢生所學,用我讀得懂語言,讓我離感興趣的世界又近瞭一步!Part I 濛古通過珍珠作為奢侈品,政治權力象徵的部分非常有趣,和歐洲15-17世紀,貴族選擇奢侈品的角度略有不同。不僅僅會考慮到它的稀缺性,還會關注到“迷信”部分,和自然特徵相結閤,例如白色帶來好運,以及legitimacy的部分。可以看齣作者research能力超強,幾乎涵蓋瞭藝術,書信,古籍等一係列資料。每個章節的著重點論證的層次不一,或許是資料太少瞭,有些點偏推測。總而言之,是一本非常值得閱讀的書。哈哈哈哈尤其喜歡書的包裝
