In 221 bc the First Emperor of Qin unified the lands that would become the heart of a Chinese empire. Though forged by conquest, this vast domain depended for its political survival on a fundamental reshaping of Chinese culture. With this informative book, we are present at the creation of an ancient imperial order whose major features would endure for two millennia. The Qin and Han constitute the 'classical period' of Chinese history - a role played by the Greeks and Romans in the West. Mark Edward Lewis highlights the key challenges faced by the court officials and scholars who set about governing an empire of such scale and diversity of people. He traces the drastic measures taken to transcend, without eliminating, these regional differences: the invention of the emperor as the divine embodiment of the state; the establishment of a common script for communication and a state-sponsored canon for the propagation of Confucian ideals; the flourishing of the great families, whose domination of local society rested on wealth, landholding, and elaborate kinship structures; the demilitarization of the interior; and the impact of non-Chinese warrior-nomads in setting the boundaries of an emerging Chinese identity. The first of a six-volume series on the history of imperial China, "The Early Chinese Empires" illuminates many formative events in China's long history of imperialism - events whose residual influence can still be discerned today.

读过此书,不仅问自己,为什么要重复写通史?如何写?何为优秀? (1)世事变迁,人们看待事物、分析事物的角度也在不断变化,我们需要用新的视角审视过去、理解历史、展望未来。 (2)信手拈来正史资料,旁征博引经典古籍,成体系的归纳到新的构架。关于资料体系,融汇、准确...
评分总体来说,秦和汉两个帝国构成了中华文明的“古典”时代,如同古希腊和古罗马之于西方。和“古希腊——古罗马”地中海时代类似,这个时代的中国文化和其他时代明显不同。这个古典时代的5个主要特征是:(1)在帝国秩序之下式微、但并未被完全抹除的地域文化之分野;(2)以皇帝...
评分 评分卜正民在研究中国历史时也曾数度迷茫,清史研究专家朱维铮给了他答案:“你想象中国是一个仅有一扇窗户的房间,我坐在房间里面,屋里的一切都在我的目光之中,而你在房间外头,是能透过窗户看见物内的景象。我可以告诉你屋内的每一个细节,但无法告诉你房间所处的位置。这一点...
评分从小到大接触历史,无论是自发读书还是被迫学习,对这一时期的基本史实早已经烂熟于心。所以读历史类的书籍期望无非两种:要么希望读到新的观点,要么深挖旧有想法——后者早已腻歪,因此能有新的观点,我便认为是好书。哈佛中国史,至少这一本,符合我的期待。 本书是如解剖一...
