A satisfactory comprehensive history of the social and economic development of pre-modern China, the largest country in the world in terms of population, and with a documentary record covering three millennia, is still far from possible. The present work is only an attempt to disengage the major themes that seem to be of relevance to our understanding of China today. In particular, this volume studies three questions. Why did the Chinese Empire stay together when the Roman Empire, and every other empire of antiquity of the middle ages, ultimately collapsed? What were the causes of the medieval revolution which made the Chinese economy after about 1100 the most advanced in the world? And why did China after about 1350 fail to maintain her earlier pace of technological advance while still, in many respects, advancing economically? The three sections of the book deal with these problems in turn but the division of a subject matter is to some extent only one of convenience. These topics are so interrelated that, in the last analysis, none of them can be considered in isolation from the others.

【Review】

"A book which is without doubt the most lucid and stimulating introduction to the problems of the economic and social history of traditional China at present available. . . . There is so much that is new and stimulating in this book, and it is written with such a nice balance between argument and vivid quotation from primary sources. . . . A superb introduction to the distinctive patterns of Chinese history over the span of two millennia."

—E. Wilkinson

,The Economist

"Every now and then a book appears which by its evidence and boldness of argument redirects our thinking, making us re-examine old problems in unprecedented ways. Such were Marc Bloch's Les caractères originaux de l'histoire rurale française and E.H. Norman's Japan's Emergence as a Modern State. I predict The Pattern of the Chinese Past will achieve similar fame in Chinese historical studies. It is a brilliant achievement. . . . Elvin's book will stand out as a landmark in Chinese social and economic studies."

—Ramon H. Myers

,The Journal of Asian Studies

"The work will attract attention both for its obvious merits—readability, attention to large and important problems, frequent brilliant historical insights—and because the author's interpretations at times 'depart considerably from the received consensus.'"

—Albert Feuerwerker

,The China Quarterly

實則我覺得高均衡陷阱這個理論沒什麼大問題,基本可以自圓其說。現代經濟學傢不應該以現代經濟理論所基於的背景去置換前現代時期的社會生産狀況。這一點Elvin在一開頭說的已經很清楚瞭。且他整本書的90%都在論述中國曆史從古到近具體的社會經濟狀態,不看他的這些,單從最後幾頁的模型去判斷他的理論是否閤理實在有些groundless。Elvin最大的問題不是模型的問題,而是他問題本身的問題,近些年,越來越多的學者開始意識到所謂的“李約瑟之問”本就是個不必問的問題。中國未能進行西歐式的工業化本不是一件奇怪的事。西歐工業化産生的條件不僅中國不具備,世界其餘地區也都不具備。Elvin說的很對,隻要西方在近代將中國納入世界體係,一切問題即迎刃而解。從人類文明史上看,科學技術的發展本就不是一傢永遠獨大的。

喜歡開篇的帝國模型,導緻閱讀時總是齣戲到《文明》之類的遊戲????

( ;´Д`)非常、非常的好看!本來想速讀的、沒想到細節都非常、非常的好看!傑作、大傑作、就像在玩《文明》這處遊戲一樣,久違的輝煌的軍事建國史!

內捲化的爭論將要成為曆史,但我們會一直記得這個名字。
