Autor Yiwen Li
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 6 mar 2025
Debunks long-held assumptions regarding the lack of contact between China and Japan between 839-1403 CE, arguing that a vibrant Sino-Japanese trade network flourished in this period as Buddhist monks and merchants fostered connections across maritime East Asia. Examination of Buddhist records, objects and images illuminates how this system worked.

Recenzii

'A fascinating study of how politics, religion, and economic developments were intertwined in ancient and medieval Japan and China. Through skilful analysis of texts and archaeological discoveries, Networks of Faith and Profit reveals the importance of monks and monasteries in Sino-Japanese exchanges. Highly recommended.' Thomas D. Conlan, Princeton University
'By shedding light on the networks of Buddhist monks and merchants who nourished vital connections between China and Japan while the two countries suspended diplomatic relations, Li's book offers a novel contribution to topical issues in pre-modern world history: the synergy and rivalry between religious and commercial elites and between state-sponsored and informal trading organizations.' Francesca Trivellato, Institute for Advanced Study, Princeton University
'In this path breaking study of Sino-Japanese maritime encounters from the ninth to the fifteenth century, Li Yiwen utilizes both Chinese and Japanese archival sources to illustrate how the intersection of Buddhist faith and commercial profit inspired private networks of monks and merchants who conveyed goods, ideas, and information between the continent and the archipelago.' Richard von Glahn, University of California, Los Angeles
