★亞洲史研究巔峰．集英社創社95週年紀念鉅獻★ 人物如星，交織燦爛歷史星空 構築出籠罩全亞洲的歷史全景 文人與武將並立、能力主義抬頭、 亞洲中世紀的新秩序 焦點人物傳記： • 藤原道長：平安時代權臣，以攝關政治鞏固貴族秩序，奠定院政體制的基礎。 • 司馬光：史學家與政治家，以《資治通鑑》建立新的歷史敘事框架。 • 李清照：宋代女詞人，以詞歌記錄家國之痛與生命哀愁。 • 朱熹：南宋大儒，創立理學體系，成為東亞思想的核心。 • 薩拉丁：穆斯林世界的領袖，以信仰與軍事力量收復耶路撒冷。 • 拜巴爾一世：馬木路克蘇丹，以武力抵禦外侮，鞏固西亞政權。 • 闍耶跋摩七世：吳哥王朝的君主，以佛教與王權重塑帝國秩序。 《亞洲人物史》第四卷聚焦於十至十三世紀，這是亞洲各地從貴族統治逐步走向文人與武將並立的新局。此時，日本由平安貴族政治進入武家政權，中國則從唐代的動盪走向宋代的科舉與文人官僚體制；西亞由阿拔斯王朝延續至塞爾柱與馬木路克政權，軍人與烏里瑪並肩而立；東南亞則在吳哥與爪哇王國展現王權與宗教融合的力量。 這個時代普遍以皇帝、天皇或哈里發為最高統治者，但文人與武將逐漸成為獨立的社會階層。他們透過學識、武力與才智，而非單憑身分與出身，推動了社會文化的重組。 宋代的開封展現了都市繁華與經濟活力，《東京夢華錄》與〈清明上河圖〉生動描繪了城市生活與商業秩序；同時，西亞的烏里瑪在法學、歷史、文學上的著述，透過手抄本與學校傳播，滲透至日常生活。這些文化與制度的演變，與歐洲同期的中世紀社會相呼應。 《文化的成熟與武人的崛起》展現了亞洲中世紀的特色：不再僅依附血統與身分，而是透過專業展現能力。文人、武將與宗教學者的崛起，使這一時代成為亞洲歷史中社會流動與文化生成的重要轉折點。 【本卷主要人物】 藤原道長╱白河院╱慈圓╱李子淵╱思肅太后李氏╱李資謙╱羅茶羅乍一世╱ 拉貞陀羅一世╱維克拉馬迪提亞六世╱闍耶跋摩七世╱艾爾朗加╱司馬光╱ 宋徽宗╱李清照╱朱熹╱努爾丁╱薩拉丁╱拜巴爾一世╱崔忠獻 叢書特色： • 跨越地域，從東亞到西亞，涵蓋整個亞洲的歷史長河。 • 突出「交流」視角，深挖和平與衝突中的文化碰撞。 • 匯聚現代亞洲史研究權威，打造精緻的評傳與分析。 歷史不僅僅是故事，而是對人性的深刻關照。 開啟您對亞洲文明的全新理解。 【亞洲人物史】全套共12冊，2025年2月起陸續上市： 1. 神
