In the eleventh century, the cities of the Song Empire (960-1279)
emerged into writing. Literati in prior centuries had looked away
from crowded streets, but literati in the eleventh century found
beauty in towering buildings and busy harbors. Their purpose in
writing the city was ideological. On the written page, they tried
to establish a distinction that eluded them in the avenues and to
discern an immanent pattern in the movement of people, goods, and
money. By the end of the eleventh century, however, they recognized
that they had failed in their efforts. They had lost the Way in the
city. Urban Life and Intellectual Crisis in Middle-Period China,
800-1100 reveals the central place of urban life in the history of
the eleventh century. Important developments in literary innovation
and monetary policy, in canonical exegesis and civil engineering,
in financial reform and public health, converge in this book as
they converged in the city.
