Overview: 縱觀歷史,帝制中國與海洋的關係長期來說似乎反覆無常,有時張開雙臂迎接跨越遼闊水域的貿易與旅行,有時卻試圖完全封鎖沿海地區與其外的水域。這種時張時弛的做法所催生出的海洋社群,隨著時間的過去變得跟主流的儒家社會益發疏離。結果,沿海居民的行為對試圖治理他們的人構成挑戰,彼此相互影響。《青龍造》一書中,有著平凡人與大人物和這片藍色領域的過從,布琮任藉由這些由明到清的故事來檢視中國與海洋的關係。書裡出現的有海盜、製圖師、官員、水師提督、海洋文人、皇帝、遠見家與旅人。英語世界對他們的故事所知不多。他們的背景與專長各異,但人生卻都與大海緊密相連。他們敞開心扉,用行動反映出自己的邏輯與反省,而他們的性格、認同與生命歷程也在過程中深到十四世紀至十九世紀初轉變中的海洋中國所影響。

A very strong entry. A brilliant concept executed with flair. Just a few pacing choices I would change. A very distinguished novel.

Took a moment to build, but the payoff was spectacular. Beautiful writing, though I craved slightly more depth in the lore. Still, undeniably engaging. Quite impressive overall.

A highly sophisticated read. The protagonist was compelling, though some subplots felt slightly overshadowed. A solid 4 stars from me.
