英文摘要 |
Synthesizing entries from the mid-thirteenth century biji (miscellany筆記), Helin yulu鶴林玉露, this article argues that the work, with its bleak view of contemporary times and many tales of violence, can be seen in part as preparing its Southern Song readers for the imminent conflict with the Mongol empire. The text’s vision weaves together political decline and virtuous heroes, as well as a moral heaven and an amoral world. Such complexity and unpredictability leads its compiler, Luo Dajing羅大經(c. 1195-after 1252), to define wisdom (zhi智) as adaptability and supply examples throughout society. |
