China Under Jurchen Rule: Essays on Chin Intellectual and Cultural History
by Hoyt Cleveland Tillman
by Hoyt Cleveland Tillman
Excellent, on a subject on which there are almost no books.
Three sections: Politics; Religion and Thought; Literature and Art. Heavy on the cultural side, but you can get your history elsewhere. I like most the chapter on a poet who lived at the time of the Mongol invasions and wrote a very dark strand of poetry about the collapse of civilization. And the chapter on Jurchen literature, as in native Jurchen, which rarely interests a China scholar.
