Book Synopsis
In this deeply grounded work, Ellen Zhang locates the tension between worldly ambition and family duty at the heart of elite social and cultural life in Song-dynasty China. Zhang argues that the predicament in which Song literati found themselves diminished neither the importance of filial piety nor the appeal of government service.
