简介
中唐时期（780–820年代）文人间的友谊因他们相互写给对方的众多诗文而闻名。是什么激发了中唐文人如此热忱地书写友谊？这些文字又如何影响了唐代文学文化？本书是首部深入探讨中世纪中国友谊的学术著作，探讨了中唐文学中友谊的复杂价值——一种有益的社会实践、丰富的文学主题、文人身份协商的途径，以及通向自我理解的道路。作者追踪了友谊在书信、序文、唱和诗、祭文等多种文体中的呈现，将优雅的译文与文本细读交织。对于中唐文人而言，书写友谊成为一种强大的自我书写和共享文化反思的方式。他们的文字揭示了友谊如何交织于公共与私人经验领域，并在这一过程中重塑了二者。

The friendships of writers of the mid-Tang era (780s–820s)—between literary giants like Bai Juyi and Yuan Zhen, Han Yu and Meng Jiao, Liu Zongyuan and Liu Yuxi—became famous through the many texts they wrote to and about one another. What inspired mid-Tang literati to write about their friendships with such zeal? And how did these writings influence Tang literary culture more broadly? In One Who Knows Me, the first book to delve into friendship in medieval China, Anna M. Shields explores the literature of the mid-Tang to reveal the complex value its writers discovered in friendship—as a rewarding social practice, a rich literary topic, a way to negotiate literati identity, and a path toward self-understanding. Shields traces the evolution of the performance of friendship through a wide range of genres, including letters, prefaces, exchange poetry, and funerary texts, and interweaves elegant translations with close readings of these texts. For mid-Tang literati, writing about friendship became a powerful way to write about oneself and to reflect upon a shared culture. Their texts reveal the ways that friendship intersected the public and private realms of experience and, in the process, reshaped both.
