《蒙元入侵前夜的中国日常生活》是一部十 分有趣的书。书的作者法国汉学家谢和耐在这部 书的《导言》里写道: ……我所选定来描绘中国生活的特定历史时 期,是被称之为南宋的那个王朝的末年(1227- 1279),即其国都从1276年起陷入蒙古人之手以前 的数十年。我所选定的区域则为杭州地区,尤以杭 州城本身为主,当时这个大都市称作临安,是中国 建都之处。……在1275年前后,它却是世界上规模 最大和最为富庶的大都会。
“Chinese Daily Life on the Eve of the Invasion of Mongolia” is a very interesting book. The book’s author, Xie Sinai, the French scholar, wrote in the Introduction to the book: ... The specific historical period I chose to portray Chinese life was the end of the dynasty called Southern Song (1227-1279) The decades before its country was plunged into the hands of the Mongols from 1276 onwards. The area I chose was the Hangzhou area, especially Hangzhou itself, when the metropolis was called Lin’an and was the capital of China. ... around 1275 it was the largest and most prosperous metropolis in the world.
