引用

  • To grasp the history of the Mongol era, sources in more than twenty languages — with Persian and Chinese as the two main corpora, and including Mongolian, Turkic, Jurchen, Latin, Sanskrit, Japanese, etc. — are involved and must be handled in their original forms.
    出典: The Mongol Empire and the Great Yuan State (2004年)
  • Conventional historiography has been biased toward a European (Western) perspective or a Sinocentric view based on Chinese-language sources, and that alone does not constitute a true 'world history'.
