A complex relationship exists between narratives on the historical events of the first two emperors of the Southern Song dynasty, emperors Gaozong and Xiaozong, in many extant historical writings published in the late Song and Yuan dynasties. Although the portion on Xiaozong within Huang Song zhongxing liang chao shengzheng 皇宋中興兩朝聖政 (The sagely government of the two intermediate restoration reigns of the Song) is mainly based on Xiaozong shengzheng 孝宗聖政 (The sagely government of Emperor Xiaozong), the author also uses Zhongxing liang chao biannian gangmu 中興兩朝編年綱目 (Chronologically arranged outline and details of the two intermediate restoration reigns) for supplement, the exact work which provides the main body of the records of great events from the first two reigns in Zhongxing dashiji jiangyi 中興大事記講義 (Lectures on the records of great events during the intermediate restoration reigns) as well as being referred to by many other historical writings at that time. Moreover, the records and commentaries found within Zhongxing dashiji jiangyi also appear in several other contemporary writings. These books, publication of which was predominantly fueled by Fujian commercial publishers, emerged as a result of the historiographical work of the Southern Song court and intellectual elites. In this way, the textual genealogy of these historical writings shows how the government, intellectual elites, and publishers together created a vertical chain of knowledge dissemination, relaying historical knowledge of the first two reigns of the Southern Song dynasty from forms of elite historiography to more and more of the general populace. |
