Benche non fossero compiuti massacri, molti fuggirono dalla citlA. [ ... ] Nei villaggi abbandonati scarseggiavano i generi alimentari, ed i viaggiatori erano inorriditi di quanto vedevano. Durante i periodi Zhengtong (1436Zhengtong ( -1449) ) e Tianshun (1457-1464), mi recavo spesso a Suzhou, e bene he si affennasse che la citIA avesse ripreso il suo antico splendore, in reallA non mi sembrava cosl fiorente. Durante il successivo regno di Chenghua (1465-1487), vi tomai ogni tre quattro anni, e mi aceorsi dei eambiamenti. Ora, finalmente,. SUzhou e ritomata al suo splendore. Nei quartieri dove le case sono assiepate come tegole fino alle mura e ai canali, emergono qua e la padiglioni e palazzi. Per le strade e un tramestio di earri, e gli ineroci sono congestionati dal traffieo. Una folia multieolore anima le vecchie stradine, e stracolme sono le taveme. Scivolano le imbarcazioni fra le colline e i battelli fioriti di splendide eantanti, come pesci dardeggianti fra le verdi onde ed i rossi padiglioni. La melodia degli strumenti, dei canti, delle danze si mescola al trambusto del mercato. In continua creseita e la produzione delle sete per la corte, degli articoli di cancelleria, di fiori e frutti, di oggetti rari e preziosi. Le arti dell'intaglio, della tessitura e della pittura, provenienti dal Zhejiang in epoca Song, da tempo dimenticate, ora qui sono rifiorite. L'abiliIA e la tecnica si fanno sempre piu progredite, e migliorano i prodotli. Quanto poi alle personalilA piu dotate, non hanno paragone altrove. Gli scritlori sono specialisti nello stile antico, scrivono nella calligrafia tipo sigillo, e nessuno li supera nella loro perizia, dal periodo Han sino ai Tang e Song. [ ... 1 1 A/cuni aspeNi di vita urbana __ _ di ogni tipo di manufatti e di merci di grande valore, la meta dei piu abili artigiani e dei ricchi mercanti; «agli attracchi presso la porta di Changmen -aggiungeva-si acc&lcavano come nubi le navi dei mercanti provenienti dallo dallo Hubei come dal Fujian".7 Alcuni secoli dopo, Oliphant paragonava il traffico di imbarcazioni sui Grande Canale di Suzhou a quello che si svolgeva nelle arterie congestionate di Londra. 8 E secondo un-documento ufficiale, nella localita Xushuguan, al di fuori delle mura e sui Grande Canale, potevano attraccare navi dalla portata di 4.000 dan di merce. 9 La citta era lambita da due lati dal Grande Canale, e, pur non avendo un diretto sbocco suI mare, era uno dei piu grandi porti del mondo. IO Percib, nel periodo in esame, la citta di Suzhou fu un centro primario non solo nella gerarchia ufficiale della struttura burocratica, ma anche e soprattutto in quell a "naturale" del sistema di produzione e di distribuzione. 11 Benche la regione fosse s~ta il granaio dell'impero ed uno dei maggiori centri dell a produzione serica, ormai dipendeva per I' alimentazione dall' importazione di cereali dalle provincie vicine, 12 e per la sua industria tessile dalla seta grezza di Huzhou e dal cotone di Songjiang e di altre parti dell a Cina. 13 Specie nel tardo periodo Ming, Suzhou godette quindi di una posizione preminente non soltanto in campo commerciale e produttivo, ma anche in quello finanziario. Qui infatti affluiva I 'argento entrato con l'esportazione delle merci cinesi, e da qui venivano riscosse ingenti tasse sotto forma di argento, che era inviato a Pechino. Una parte di questa ricchezza rifluiva poi a Suzhou, con l'acquisto da parte dei mercanti delle cosiddette "merci meridionali" (nanhuo). Quindi, tl surplus dell a produzione che non era stato drenato dalle imposte, era trasformato nel cosiddetto capitale mercantile usuraio, e in parte speso in consumi di lusso,14 in opere artistiche e 15culturali, talvolta in lavori di pubblica utilita, ed in opere di assistenza. Le parole che l'autore del Jinpingmei fa dire al protagonista, Ximen, comprovano che il capitale mercantile della fine del periodo Ming [e non sembra che le condizioni socio-economiche siano radicalmente mutate nella dina-

The ascetic trend advocated by the pioneers of Neo-Confucianism started to influence the society and habits toward the advent of the Yuan dynasty. Li Zhi’s eudaemonistic concept of human being is based on his idea of the innate "selfishness" and concerns self-fulfilment, satisfaction of natural and social desires, and the flow experience. It is also the basis of Li Zhi’s concept of individual autonomy and freedom.

Among Feng Menglong's many works of popular literature, Mountain Songs is a particularly important work, because he put his own preface at the beginning of the book and used his own name to emphasize the significance of popular literature. Since Mountain Songs is a collection of songs edited by Feng Menglong, it can be said that these songs passed through Feng's filter. Mountain Songs were originally songs of the farm village but they also included songs of the city, songs of the pleasure quarters, and imitations by literati. The theme of the 71 songs in this chapter is: women who are compared to objects (passive women and women who fall). All songs contain four lines. The songs in the chapter are imitations by literati. Keywords:Feng Menglong; Mountain Songs ; passive women
