Like most empires, the Ming court sponsored grand displays of dynastic strength and military prowess. Covering the first two centuries of the Ming dynasty (1368–1644), Martial Spectacles of the Ming Court explores how the royal hunt, polo matches, archery contests, equestrian demonstrations, and the imperial menagerie were represented in poetry, prose, and portraiture. This study reveals that martial spectacles were highly charged sites of contestation, where Ming emperors and senior court ministers staked claims about rulership, ruler-minister relations, and the role of the military in the polity. Simultaneously colorful entertainment, prestigious social events, and statements of power, martial spectacles were intended to make manifest the ruler’s personal generosity, keen discernment, and respect for family tradition. They were, however, subject to competing interpretations that were often beyond the emperor’s control or even knowledge.
By situating Ming martial spectacles in the wider context of Eurasia, David Robinson brings to light the commensurability of the Ming court with both the Mongols and Manchus but more broadly with other early modern courts such as the Timurids, the Mughals, and the Ottomans.

鲁大维教授的《神武军容耀天威：明代皇室的尚武活动》（Martial Spectacles of the Ming Court，以下简称《神武军容》）应该说是我早已期待的一部著作——早在它还没有被冠上如今这个颇具气势的中文译名时，便有人将其视为与“新清史”对标的“新明史”滥觞之作，令人不免对其...

argument有點簡單。討論Martial Spectacle對於表現rulership和identity非常重要。將Ming court放在歐亞文化來分析。詩歌翻譯有很多問題。

有新意，无深入，许多地方依赖二手文献拼凑。一翻一过发现不少误译，编辑上有些疏忽。

写的很有意思啊，匆匆看过，没有全文通读。感觉里面一些观点还挺新颖的，关于孝宗的政治智慧，绕过迂腐的文官集团自己接见外国使团被礼部老头知道后气的跳脚。嘴上说着接受建议不养异兽，但实际送出去的都是些猪牛狗。这些观点在国内的明史研究中好像很少提及吧？说到孝宗都是他和刘健的文书来回很枯燥。国内的明史研究都是和明朝那些事用的一个史料，来回炒冷饭。而且很多书籍都默认皇帝就是昏庸无能的酒囊饭袋子，文臣就是力挽狂... 写的很有意思啊，匆匆看过，没有全文通读。感觉里面一些观点还挺新颖的，关于孝宗的政治智慧，绕过迂腐的文官集团自己接见外国使团被礼部老头知道后气的跳脚。嘴上说着接受建议不养异兽，但实际送出去的都是些猪牛狗。这些观点在国内的明史研究中好像很少提及吧？说到孝宗都是他和刘健的文书来回很枯燥。国内的明史研究都是和明朝那些事用的一个史料，来回炒冷饭。而且很多书籍都默认皇帝就是昏庸无能的酒囊饭袋子，文臣就是力挽狂澜的救世主（在我看来这是大错特错的！）。至少这本书能让我们以一个新的视角去了解当时明代的人物是鲜明、立体的，他们做出的选择也是基于他们当时的时代背景。 当然直接看史料这些也都有，但是这个是作者给整理好的，从事情起源-发展-结果-当时人物的评价。我觉得还是非常值得一看的！ (展开)
