Abstract
This article investigates the discourse of loss during the period between
the pillaging of the Song Dynasty imperial libraries and the dispersal
of private collections in north China in the late 1120s and the
rebuilding of the Imperial Library and private collections through
the 1140s. It contrasts the different strategies taken by the court and
private collectors in managing loss, in developing acquisitions, and
in remembering war and peace through collecting.
