Text and Writing: Social History of the Song Dynasty: Taking Wenzhou, Hangzhou and Other Places as Examples (nine-colored Deer Series)
About This Novel
Based on different forms of historical materials such as strange novels, inscriptions, epitaphs, local chronicles, and genealogies, this book takes places such as Wenzhou and Hangzhou as main cases and attempts to reconstruct the social history of the Song Dynasty from the perspective of text and writing. In the local society of the Song Dynasty, small farmers and wealthy households, petty officials and maritime merchants, shamans and monks, warriors and dignitaries in the city, and emerging groups of scholars jointly constructed the relationships and network structure of local society. Scholar-officials occupy the core position of the national administrative system, but in local society, imperial examination scholars are still an unstable new trend. Sometimes they are isolated from local society, and sometimes they need to interpenetrate with other social groups in order to play an increasingly important role in local society. The change of perspective and the reconstruction of the picture may reveal a richer connotation of Song Dynasty society.
