《染匠之手》收录了一代文学巨匠W.H.奥登精彩纷呈的散文作品，包括他作为牛津大学诗歌教授发表的著名讲演录。书中的文章题材广泛却又互有关联，对诗歌，对艺术，对人生的种种境况都提出了自己的看法。这些所思、所感独出机杼，不落窠臼，核心的关注点虽然是文艺，立论的背后却是作者在二十世纪中的全部经验。

For two millennia, Chinese society has been producing divine revelations on an unparalleled scale, in multifarious genres and formats. This book is the first comprehensive attempt at accounting for the processes of such production. It builds a typology of the various ritual techniques used to make gods present and allow them to speak or write, and it follows the historical development of these types and the revealed teachings they made possible.
Within the large array of visionary, mediumistic, and mystical techniques, Vincent Goossaert devotes the bulk of his analysis to spirit-writing, a family of rites that appeared around the eleventh century and gradually came to account for the largest numbers of books and tracts ascribed to the gods. In doing so, he shows that the practice of spirit-writing must be placed within the framework of techniques used by ritual specialists to control human communications with gods and spirits for healing, divining, and self-divinization, among other purposes. Making the Gods Speak thus offers a ritual-centered framework to study revelation in Chinese cultural history and comparatively with the revelatory practices of other religious traditions.

《两宋道教与政治关系研究》以两宋为研究时段，比较深入地对两宋道教与政治之关系进行剖析，着重对两宋政权（君王及臣僚）与道教的关系、两宋道教主要管理制度及其政治意义、两宋道教与政治伦理等问题进行探究，在整体把握道教与政治关系的基础上，力求更加深入细致地探寻两宋道教与政治关系的内部图景。《两宋道教与政治关系研究》试图透过对两宋道教与政治关系之揭示，折射出中国传统社会政教关系的一般性样态。

Contrary to what is often believed, good food was valued highly in the Middle Ages - the fragrance of exotic spices filled the air, meat turned on the spit and fish was consumed in abundance for religious reasons. The wealthy made a show of their prosperity by serving peacock or wild boar at banquets, while the poor ate vegetables, porridge and bread. Fresh and preserved fish, meat, fruit and vegetables were transported great distances to grace dining tables across Europe. In The Medieval Kitchen, Hannele Klemettila presents a richly illustrated history of medieval food and cookery in Western Europe and Scandinavia. The book is also a practical cookbook, with a collection of more than 60 originally sourced recipes that can easily be prepared in today's modern home. Hippocras, roasted veal paupiettes with bacon and herbs, and rose pudding tempt with the beguiling flavours of a bygone era. The Medieval Kitchen corrects many common misconceptions about the food of the Middle Ages, and acquaints the reader with the food culture, customs and ideologies associated with eating in medieval times. The text is accompanied by many fine paintings and drawings, which help to evoke the atmosphere in the dining rooms and kitchens, of both rich and poor, some 600 years ago.

Confessionalisation and Erudition in Early Modern Europe examines the consequences of the sixteenth-century Reformation for the study of ancient texts and of the past in general. The volume offers the most comprehensive account thus far of the relationship between religious identity-formation and the history of knowledge in early modern Europe.

North Korea's Kŭmgangsan is one of Asia's most celebrated sacred mountain ranges, comparable in fame to Mount Tai in China and Mount Fuji in Japan. Carving Status at Kŭmgangsan marks a paradigm shift in the research about East Asian mountains by introducing an entirely new field: autographic rock graffiti. The book details how late Chosŏn (ca. 1600–1900 CE) Korean elite travelers used Kŭmgangsan to demonstrate their high social status by carving inscriptions, naming sites, and joining the literary pedigree of visitors to renowned locales. Such travel practices show how social competition emerged in the spatial context of a landscape. Hence, Carving Status at Kŭmgangsan argues for an expansion of accepted historical narratives on travel and mountain space in premodern East Asia. Rather than interpreting pilgrimage routes as exclusively religious or tourist, in Kŭmgangsan's case they were also an important site of collective memory.
Embarking on a journey to Kŭmgangsan to view and contribute to its sites of memory was an endeavor that late Chosŏn Koreans hoped to achieve in their lives. Based on multidisciplinary research drawing on literary writings, court records, gazetteers, maps, songs, calligraphy, and paintings, Carving Status at Kŭmgangsan is the first historical study of this practice. It will appeal to scholars in fields ranging from East Asian history, literature, and geography, to pilgrimage studies and art history.

苏辙各集文稿都是他自己在不同时期亲手编定。元祐六年（1091），他裒集旧作编成五十卷《栾城集》。崇宁四年（1105）、五年，编定《栾城后集》二十四卷。政和元年（1111），编成《栾城第三集》十卷。今存宋本《苏文定公文集》为残卷。故此次影印所据底本为清道光刻《三苏全集》本，卷内有著名藏书家傅增湘以朱、蓝、墨笔据宋本校改，既可以全面了解苏辙的诗文内容，也可以得见宋本与此本之异同。全书三色套印，锁线平装，为《国学基本典籍丛刊》之一种。

颜元被认为是中国近世思想史研究中的一个关键人物。学界之前对他的研究有两个问题：一是对其思想进行“现代化”误读，二是在深度上开掘有限。本书另辟蹊径，从思想史、生活史相交融的角度，讨论了一个“乡里的圣人”所具有的思想史价值。
相对于传统思想史以“新观点”的提出作为衡量尺度的做法，本书试图提出一种将“平庸的思想者”纳入思想史研究中的思路。
此外，本书亦具有鲜明的方法论意识，广泛采用了“心理史学”“具身认知”等理论，并借鉴了民间文学研究的做法，以期开掘思想史研究的新空间。

汉代画像研究是中国美术史中的显学。武氏祠及其所属的孝堂山祠—武梁祠派画像，同时也是汉代研究的显学。
缪哲教授近年的研究集中于利用考古出土的墓葬材料，重建西汉中后期及东汉早期的汉代帝国艺术，对现存汉代画像艺术进行了全新的历史诠释，本书是其集成之作。
书中在集中探讨了《天帝图》《祥瑞—灾异图》《孔子师老子》《周公辅成王》《楼阁拜谒图》与《车马（卤薄）图》等一系列核心主题之后，更进一步得出结论：中国早期艺术史上，商周纹样传统向汉唐状物传统的转折，完成于两汉之交；转折的外部动力，是汉帝国的意识形态构建与传播。此后以人物叙事为主要内容的状物性绘画，成为统治近千年的新艺术传统。
战国至汉代的数百年，是中国绘画传统的“轴心时代”。其发生、发展、确立的过程，仍是一个未被讲述的故事。本书是作者计划中的“中国绘画传统的诞生”三部曲之第一部。它所呈现的，是这故事的高潮：绘画传统在两汉之交确立的经过与制度机制。通过辨认、撷取山东平民墓葬画像中的“皇家因素”，作者对汉代新兴的帝国艺术的基本轮廓，作了可信的复原，并探讨了其背后的政治、礼仪及意识形态动力。

南宋朝廷敕封径山寺、灵隐寺、净慈寺、天童寺和阿育王寺为五座皇家寺院，即所谓禅林五山。南宋五山法席，前期几乎为大慧派所独占，后期则基本为大慧、虎丘两派所平分。文墨之风在五山禅僧中极为盛行，他们创作了大量语录、诗歌、骈文、古文、笔记等作品，是为“五山文学”。“五山文学”处在南宋“文化下移”的大语境下，是文学由庙堂跌落江湖、由雅而俗总体演进过程的一大枢纽，总体上呈现出“士大夫化”与“世俗化”两种并行的走向。它并不代表南宋文学的“高度”，而更多代表着南宋文学的“广度”和“密度”。它还远播日本，对日本汉文学产生了深刻影响。

类书是我国古代特有的一种工具书性质的图书，被称作中国古代的百科全书。近代以来，类书农渐被各种百科全书和新式辞典所取代，但在原著湮灭的今天，类书中保存的大量古代原始文献就显得尤其珍贵。因此，了解和掌握古代类书的知识，对更好地利用这些资料有着十分重要的意义。本书简明系统地介绍我国类书的性质、起源、类型和作用，并详细介绍魏晋南北朝至北宋时期近二十种类书的编纂经过、体例、版本和流传情况以及各书的价值和作用，是关于中国古代类书的一部很价值的著作。

本书收录的这些案例，主要由作者带领的乡建团队和科研团队，在亲自参与生态文明战略下的乡村建设实践和调研中整理形成。一个个鲜活的案例折射出中国朝向包容性发展的战略转型就体现在基层农村的干部群众和下乡青年人的努力奋斗之中，与之有关的宏观政策演变前后时间跨度将近二十年——从1999年中国主要决策者提出以人为本，到2005年新农村建设，2007年提出生态文明，再到2013年确立生态文明作为国家发展战略，2017年强调乡村振兴，都是中华民族与时俱进传承复兴的整体努力。

《拨云寻径：古典中国实用文类美学》以中国古典文学中的“实用文类”为主要书写对象，所谓“实用文类”，是指有实际功用的文体，如论说、序跋、书笺、表奏、碑铭等，在实用目的之外，它们各具美感潜能与性情表现，常常引发读者的文学兴味。
“晚清以降，整个东亚、华夏文明，以吸收效仿西欧、北美为务，积渐成习，我们渐渐忽略了“文学”与“Literature”不但分属两种语言系统，而且是两个不同文化传统的产物。当西方人逐渐以Poetry、Fiction、Drama为Literature的指涉物时，我们亦理所当然地以为：文学指的就是诗歌、小说与戏剧。因而中国文学的领域，就不知不觉遭到大幅的删汰。这是利用别人的系统作自家的系谱时必然会有的张冠李戴、削足适履的现象。”——对近代以来仅以诗歌、小说、戏剧作为“文学”的现象，作者提出质疑，主张推扩“文学”的界义。
本书直指中国古典实用文类蕴含的美感特质，照见了中国文学传统中不容忽略的半壁江山，以补一般文学史之不足，正面迎向“文学”这个现代观念的挑战。作者柯庆明教授为台湾中文学界最重要的代表人物之一，中学根底极为深厚，现当代文学美学以及西方文学理论也熟稔于心。他从诸多实用文类出发，探讨其文体规约，带领读者精读文本，解析古典实用文类之代表名作，以精辟细致的方式解剖诠释，旁征博引，将古文中的典故、来历以及写作者的人生抉择、实际处境等一一拆解阐明。作者深于古典传统，议论通畅而不板滞，极能启迪思考。

La statuaire taoïste du Hunan. Art et anthropologie de la Chine.Ce livre est le fruit d'une enquête dans la province chinoise du Hunan qui a duré plus de dix ans. Le point de départ aura été la découverte sur un marché du sud de la Chine de quelques statues en bois polychrome à l’intérieur desquelles se trouvaient des documents de consécration, indiquant, pour certains d’entre eux, qu’il s’agissait de maîtres taoïstes. On y mentionnait la date de fabrication, le nom des personnages représentés, celui des commanditaires, le lieu où se trouvait la statue, les raisons pour lesquelles elle avait été faite, les voeux associés au culte et bien d’autres renseignements concernant l’histoire locale. De très nombreux séjours dans le centre du Hunan apportèrent peu à peu des réponses aux différentes énigmes que posaient l’immense corpus de documents de consécration accompagnant quelque deux mille statues datant pour la plupart de la dernière dynastie mandchoue (1644-1911). Non seulement personne n’avait rencontré dans aucune autre partie de la Chine une statuaire de ce type, mais de surcroît, cette province méridionale du Hunan comptait un très grand nombre de maîtres taoïstes et de sculpteurs qui perpétuaient cette tradition très ancienne.Écrit du point de vue d’un anthropologue, ce livre consacré à l’art taoïste du Hunan, ne s’adresse pas uniquement à un public de sinologues. Débordant le cadre des études chinoises, il s’interroge sur la religion en général et fait référence aux travaux de Claude Lévi-Strauss, Philippe Descola, Clifford Geertz ou Alfred Gell, et se réclame à la fois de la philosophie de l’histoire de Marcel Gauchet et de l’héritage surréaliste. La très abondante illustration qui accompagne le texte est constituée de documents inédits qui donnent une dimension indispensable à la compréhension du taoïsme, en tant que tradition vivante.

《宋代书制论略》作者（张典友）先后研究了宋代皇帝制度、皇帝御用书写机构及其书写官吏、普通文书吏、书学教育制度、官员考试制度等与“书”、字体演变、书写艺术演变的关系等问题，每一章节都是从制度与书写关系的角度展开研究的，这是一个新的视角，看过以后让人很受启发。

"The Hikayat Banjar", a seventeenth-century native court chronicle from Southeast Borneo, characterizes the irresistibility of natural resource wealth to outsiders as 'the banana tree at the gate'. Michael Dove employs this phrase as a root metaphor to frame the history of resource relations between the indigenous people of Borneo and the world system. In analyzing production and trade in forest products, pepper, and especially natural rubber, Dove shows that the involvement of Borneo's native peoples in commodity production for global markets is ancient and highly successful. Dove demonstrates that processes of globalization began millennia ago and that they have been more diverse and less teleological than often thought. Dove's analysis replaces the image of the isolated tropical forest community that needs to be helped into the global system with the reality of communities that have been so successful and competitive that they have had to fight political elites to keep from being forced out.

For decades, scholars have been calling into question the universality of disciplinary objects and categories. The coherence of defined autonomous categories—such as religion, science, and art—has collapsed under the weight of postmodern critiques, calling into question the possibility of progress and even the value of knowledge. Jason Ānanda Josephson Storm aims to radicalize and move beyond these deconstructive projects to offer a path forward for the humanities and social sciences using a new model for theory he calls metamodernism.
Metamodernism works through the postmodern critiques and uncovers the mechanisms that produce and maintain concepts and social categories. In so doing, Storm provides a new, radical account of society’s ever-changing nature—what he calls a “Process Social Ontology”—and its materialization in temporary zones of stability or “social kinds.” Storm then formulates a fresh approach to philosophy of language by looking beyond the typical theorizing that focuses solely on human language production, showing us instead how our own sign-making is actually on a continuum with animal and plant communication.
Storm also considers fundamental issues of the relationship between knowledge and value, promoting a turn toward humble, emancipatory knowledge that recognizes the existence of multiple modes of the real. Metamodernism is a revolutionary manifesto for research in the human sciences that offers a new way through postmodern skepticism to envision a more inclusive future of theory in which new forms of both progress and knowledge can be realized.

What is the place of quality in contemporary capitalism? How is a product as ordinary as a bag of tea valued for its quality? In her innovative study, Sarah Besky addresses these questions by going inside an Indian auction house where experts taste and value mass-market black tea, one of the world’s most recognized commodities. Pairing rich historical data with ethnographic research among agronomists, professional tea tasters and traders, and tea plantation workers, Besky shows how the meaning of quality has been subjected to nearly constant experimentation and debate over the history of the tea industry. Working across political economy, science and technology studies, and sensory ethnography, Tasting Qualities argues for an approach to quality that sees it not as a final destination for economic, imperial, or post-imperial projects but as an opening for those projects.

Since the early days of Buddhism in China, monastics and laity alike have expressed a profound concern with the past. In voluminous historical works, they attempted to determine as precisely as possible the dates of events in the Buddha’s life, seeking to iron out discrepancies in varying accounts and pinpoint when he delivered which sermons. Buddhist writers chronicled the history of the Dharma in China as well, compiling biographies of eminent monks and nuns and detailing the rise and decline in the religion’s fortunes under various rulers. They searched for evidence of karma in the historical record and drew on prophecy to explain the past.
John Kieschnick provides an innovative, expansive account of how Chinese Buddhists have sought to understand their history through a Buddhist lens. Exploring a series of themes in mainstream Buddhist historiographical works from the fifth to the twentieth century, he looks not so much for what they reveal about the people and events they describe as for what they tell us about their compilers’ understanding of history. Kieschnick examines how Buddhist doctrines influenced the search for the underlying principles driving history, the significance of genealogy in Buddhist writing, and the transformation of Buddhist historiography in the twentieth century. This book casts new light on the intellectual history of Chinese Buddhism and on Buddhists’ understanding of the past.
