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).

评分读来大爽,简直茅塞顿开。从Nostalgic scholar到excluded merchant到benefited gentry,不同的视野构成一幅较为完整的明朝经济图像。只是徽商一会儿因为这个被鄙视,一会儿因为那个被鄙视。。。真是残念。。。
评分超棒的视角
众所周知,儒家一直提倡“农为本,商为末”“农业是树干,商业是枝叶”“崇本抑末”,因为在儒家的观念里,商业就是把A的钱赚到B的荷包里,交易过程中没有发生财富增殖。然而实际上,正是流通和流动的过程才是财富增殖的过程,只要有了流动性,哪怕是垃圾也能是财富(比如以前...
