This study, the first comprehensive look at the Sung academy movement, explains the phenomenon not only as a uh_product of intellectual changes, but also as part of broader social, economic, political, and cultural transformations taking place in Sung China. Academies and Society in Southern Sung China makes extensive use of commemorative inscriptions and other documentation on nearly 500 academies and thus provides a crucial historical perspective on the origins of this key institution UR - https://doi.org/10.1515/9780824861353 UR - https://www.degruyter.com/isbn/9780824861353 UR - https://www.degruyter.com/document/cover/isbn/9780824861353/original ER -
