商品簡介 |
This book presents a complete and annotated English translation of the text
Diary of a Boat Trip to Wu (Wuchuan lu), a travel journal written by the
famous Southern Song dynasty (1127–1279) government official and writer Fan
Chengda (1126–1193). The journal describes a boat journey the author made in the
summer and fall of 1177 from Chengdu (Sichuan) to his home near Suzhou
(Jiangsu). Fan’s trip covered a distance of approximately 1,700 English miles
and took 122 days to complete.The Diary of a Boat Trip to Wu is
especially valuable because it provides detailed, first-hand descriptions of
many aspects of the Song dynasty (960–1279) geography, history, literature, art,
and religion. Perhaps most noteworthy are the author’s lengthy and often
fascinating accounts and assessments of scenic and historic sites he stopped to
visit during the trip.
