《朱雀》内容简介
《朱雀》一书是汉学家薛爱华的代表作之一，本此再版，邀请译者对全书进行了修订。
《朱雀》考察中古中国的热带地区——南方（南越），包括岭南和安南之地，是如何呈现在唐代人的诗文创作、生活习俗以及历史文献之中的。在中国传统的意象谱系中，南方正是以朱雀为象征的。全书十二章，触及中古时期南方形形色色的名物与意象，这些古灵精怪的“南方意象”，超乎现代人的想象，将唐代人的中世纪世界渲染得，既似一个实有的境界，又似一种想象氛围。

Introduction to Suzaku
Zhuque is one of the representative works of Sinologist Xue Aihua. This republication invites the translator to revise the book.
Zhuque examines how the tropical regions of medieval China, the South (South Vietnam), including the lands of Lingnan and Annam, were represented in the poetry, customs, and historical documents of the Tang Dynasty. In the traditional image pedigree of China, the south is symbolized by Zhuque. The twelve chapters of the book touch on all kinds of famous objects and images of the South in the Middle Ages. These quaint "images of the South" are beyond the imagination of modern people. They render the medieval world of the Tang Dynasty as both a real realm and an imaginary atmosphere.
About the author
EdwardHetzelSchafer (1913-1991), a famous American Sinologist and linguist, was a leading figure in the study of the Tang Dynasty in the United States and even the Western Tang Dynasty in the second half of the 20th century. In 1938, he received a bachelor's degree in anthropology from the University of California, Berkeley. He received his Ph.D. in Oriental Linguistics from Harvard University in 1947. He then taught at the University of California, Berkeley, until his retirement in 1984. He served as president of the American Oriental Society and was a longtime editor of the Journal of the American Oriental Society (JAOS).
Xue Aihua was deeply influenced by traditional European Sinology and attached great importance to the study of historical language documents. Coupled with his rich learning in ethnology, folklore and anthropology, his Chinese medieval studies showed the characteristics of broad vision and multi-perspective integration. His research fields mainly include the social and cultural history of the Tang Dynasty (especially the study of material culture), the foreign civilization of the Tang Dynasty, the integration of the Han culture in the Central Plains and the culture of the surrounding ethnic groups, and the relationship between Taoism and literature.
