Description

This volume addresses social, cultural, and artistic change during China’s middle period across the Tang dynasty (618–907), the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms (907–960), and the succeeding Song dynasty (960–1279). Focusing on historiography, political thought, literati culture, and visual arts, the essays demonstrate how disparate the initiating moments and timelines of change were in different social, cultural, or geographic domains. This volume proposes deconstructing distinct processes of change that trace unique temporal arcs, allowing for new hypotheses regarding causal relations. This approach reveals that many perceived “transmissions” from Tang through Song are better understood as retrospective tenth-century or Song “inventions.” The contributing scholars represent many spheres of the field and span several scholarly generations, deploying methodological approaches that encompass cross-genre examinations of canonical and less-studied sources alongside digital humanities techniques. Accessible to scholars and students of middle period China at all levels, this volume introduces readers to key figures, texts, and debates from Tang to Song while proposing new frameworks and raising important new questions for multiple fields.
