Reviews
The major contribution of this translation lies, first and foremost, in the rich insight it provides into mid-Ming China, a period that is generally neglected by scholars. . . . Overall, Halperin's translation of Lu Rong's Shuyuan zaji is an invaluable addition to the corpus of English-language works that enrich our understanding of Ming China. It offers scholars a rare glimpse into the daily life and intellectual milieu of a representative Ming Confucian scholar-official. The book's interdisciplinary appeal makes it a useful resource for historians, literary scholars, and students of Chinese philosophy. The shorter-length entries and kaleidoscopic subject matter also make it an ideal reading material for classical Chinese language and literature courses., The translation is introduced by a witty and perceptive description of the contemporaneous Ming context as well as a detailed discussion of Lu. What makes this book relevant to the scholar of religion is the many instances Lu the Confucian gazes effectively at his religious lifeworld, which one encounters in many of his depictions of Ming quotidian life. Scholars of Chinese religions and Confucianism will have much to gain from this., The collection is first and foremost a useful resource for social history, with the themes of gender, religion, and technology especially prominent throughout. . . . [A] wonderful teaching resource at the undergraduate level.

Synopsis
A forgotten century marks the years between the Ming dynasty's (1368-1644) turbulent founding and its sixteenth-century age of exploration and economic transformation. In this period of social stability, retired scholar-official Lu Rong chronicled his observations of Chinese society in Miscellaneous Records from the Bean Garden (Shuyuan zaji). Openly expressing his admirations and frustrations, Lu provides a window into the quotidian that sets Bean Garden apart from other works of the biji genre of "informal notes." Mark Halperin organizes a translated selection of Lu's records to create a panorama of Ming life. A man of unusual curiosity, Lu describes multiple social classes, ethnicities, and locales in his accounts of political intrigues, farming techniques, religious practices, etiquette, crime, and family life. Centuries after their composition, Lu's words continue to provide a richly textured portrait of China on the cusp of the early modern era. The open access publication of this book was made possible by a grant from the James P. Geiss and Margaret Y. Hsu Foundation.

    The "Latin Classics. Volume 2" CD is brand new, as stated in the ad.The disc itself is of good quality. The CD was packaged in a cardboard box, and unfortunately, the jewel case cracked during transportation and delivery, but the seller compensated for this issue by refunding 20% ​​of the order price. The seller always responds to customer messages, which is very nice. The seller is honest and respectable. I am very pleased with the purchase. Thank you very much! I wish the seller all the best!

    Very exceptional seller. Without me even asking , seller found a way to get product to me through US retailers so that product did not have to go through customs or did I have to pay import fees on my end. Product arrived as described in mint condition and considering what I saw this fairly scarce item going for elsewhere a VERY good Value. My thanks to the seller and they have won me over as a source for product that has to be ordered from UK
