"This book offers an account of the development and transformations of the discourse of ancestors' instructions in the Song period. It explains how rulers selected words and deeds of ancestors in tandem with changes in current affairs, and how they gave them different meanings to create not only an image of the ancestors that were suitable for emulation but also a talisman to safeguard their administration. Using abundant resources, exercising an economy of words and academic rigor, the author digs deep to tease apart the complex and versatile relationship between the meaning and the truth of the Song discourse on ancestors' instructions"--

Xiaonan examines the development and transformation of the discourse on Ancestors' Instructions during China's Song Period, 960-1279 AD. Rulers selected words and deeds of ancestors in tandem with changes in current affairs, she says, and gave them different meanings to create not only an image of the ancestors that were suitable for emulation, but also a talisman to safeguard their administration. Among her topics are the confluence of family instructions and national instructions: ancestors and ancestors' family instruction, from protecting the ancestors' legacy to preserving the ancestors' precedents: the transition during Emperor Zhenzong's reign, and a general overview: the influence of the Ancestors' Instructions on Song Dynasty politics from the middle of the Northern Song to the late Southern Song.
