Selection for December 2025
康熙的红票 = Emperor Kangxi’s red manifesto
孙立天 = Sun Litian zhu, 2024
这本书豆瓣推荐给我的, 在2024年度图书排名第4。 它给了我非常惊艳的阅读体验,并讲诉了我们一个故事和一个道理。故事是康熙与传教士相互影响的六十年, 涉及到了中西文化差异——天主教教义与中国传统冲突。道理讲的是在我们研究历史的时候,要把视角放在时人的角度,切忌有意无意的筛选、剪辑史料。
作者理论基础之扎实,史料研究之深入,平衡把握了这本书的学术性和通俗性。 如果您喜欢清朝的历史,我推荐您读这本书,它是非常优秀,有趣的历史学专著。
This book was recommended to me by Douban, ranking 4th in their 2024 annual list. It delivered a truly remarkable reading experience, telling us both a story and a profound lesson. The story spans sixty years of mutual influence between Emperor Kangxi and missionaries, exploring cultural clashes between East and West—specifically the conflict between Catholic doctrine and Chinese traditions. The lesson emphasizes that when studying history, we must adopt the perspective of contemporaries and avoid intentional or unintentional filtering or editing of historical materials.The author’s solid theoretical foundation and deep historical research strike a balance between the book’s academic rigor and accessibility. If you enjoy Qing Dynasty history, I highly recommend this book—it’s an excellent and fascinating historical monograph.
