Paperback. Condition: Good. A Journal of My Misgivings about the Records of the Grand Historian (Shiji zhiyi 史記志疑), written by Liang Yusheng 梁玉繩 (1745-1819), is a detailed analysis and critique of the Shiji 史記 of Sima Qian 司馬遷 (b. 145 BCE). Sima Qian had composed a masterful survey of the ancient dynasties and ruling houses from legendary times until the second century BCE, and filled it with anecdotes, short biographies, lineages, legends, and learned treatises as well as his own observations and opinions. Because the scope of Liang's Journal is as broad and complex as the Shiji, Jeffrey Riegel's study of it focuses on Liang's critiques of those parts of the Grand Historian's Records relating to the slow rise and precipitous fall of Qin, weaving Liang's scholarship into a revision of Sima Qian's narration of the five-hundred-year transformation of Qin from marginal state to hegemonic power. Riegel first provides an account of Liang's life in Qing dynasty Hangzhou and a study of his methodology and sources before turning to revisions of what the Shiji says about Qin's origins, the state's ruling lineage, and its later kings and emperors, as well as the geography of the Qin state and empire, and the almost countless battles from which Qin emerged as ultimate victor in 221 BCE. The foundation of Riegel's revisions to Qin history is the Shiji zhiyi, but on occasion Riegel supplements, corrects, and updates Liang's scholarship by referring to the numerous archaeological discoveries that have dramatically altered our understanding of what happened in the history of early China. An appendix to the volume summarizes Liang's valuable studies of early Chinese chronology. Other appendixes (that appear in an online supplement) provide further details on Liang's corrections to Sima Qian's text and include a Finding List of the relevant Shiji passages on the Qin, Liang's scholarship, and other commentaries and translations. Errata, addenda, and an online supplement are available through the publisher.…

Buch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - This is the first complete English translation of Lüshi chunqiu, compiled in 239 b. c. under the patronage of Lü Buwei, prime minister to the ruler of the state of Qin, who was to become the first emperor of a newly unified China fifteen years later. Lü retained a group of scholars whose aim was to encompass the world's knowledge in one great encyclopedia; so delighted was Lü with the finished work that he is said to have offered a fabulous prize of gold to anyone who could add or subtract even a single word. An exceptionally rich and comprehensive compendium, The Annals of Lü Buwei recounts in engaging, straightforward, and readable prose the great variety of beliefs and customs of its time. The work is one of the great monuments of Chinese thinking, a work of originality and cohesion, inspired by a vision of a universal empire ruled by principles that ensured harmony between man and nature, protective of human and animal life, devoted to learning and culture, practicing benevolence and kindness, and motivated by reason and morality. In addition to revealing an advanced state of technical knowledge, the Annals set forth a philosophy of government suitable to the centralized control that the Qin state would subsequently establish. It also took into account every philosophical trend of the day, sometimes adapting themes, sometimes combining ideas that had not previously been associated, sometimes rejecting and refuting positions that were in conflict with its basic vision. Because Lü aimed at comprehensiveness, his work preserved a number of systems of thought that are otherwise unknown or scarcely known. The Annals thus provides an essential tool for anyone seeking to reconstruct the philosophical controversies of the third century b. c. At the same time, Lü's compendium proclaims his independent, highly original philosophical positions. Today, with most of the works of classical Chinese philosophy long lost, The Annals of Lü Buwei remains indispensable as a summa of the Chinese intellectual world of its time.…
