Published in 1999. A common theme linking these papers is that of
the interaction of elite and popular traditions, as found in the
writings and folktales of Yuan and Ming China. The first studies
focus on historical writings, not just as topics of intellectual
and cultural history, but as foundations for understanding the
sources of that time and seeing how earlier periods were viewed -
for example, in the composition of the Liao, Chin and Sung
histories at the Mongol-Yuan court in the 1340s. A second cluster
examines a number of popular legends in which Mongol and Chinese
elements can be seen to mix: the use of a bowshot in choosing a
site, as in the story of the founding of Peking; the legends of the
foundation of the Ming dynasty; or the image and fictionalisation
of the great Ming statesman, Liu Chi.
