看过后真的有哀其不幸怒其不争之感,最可悲的是时至今日诸多现象依旧有迹可寻。不论明恩溥是否带着传教、文化殖民的思想倾向,客观地说,此书有值得我们反思之处。
评分No student of history, no observant traveller who knows human nature, can fail to be impressed, to the point of deep awe, with the thought of the marvellous restraining power which Chinese morality has exerted upon the race from the earliest times until now. Whereas other nation have depended upon physical force, 蔡尼斯 have depended upon moral force.
评分读这本书差点气得背过气去,一半是因为写得在理,一半是因为西方凝视????
评分by Arthur Henderson Smith
评分我至今还希望有人翻出史密斯(明恩溥)的《支那人的气质》(《中国人的气质》)来。看了那些,而自省,分析,明白哪几点说得对;变革,挣扎,自做功夫,却不求别人的原谅和称赞,来证明究竟怎样的是中国人。
Arthur H. Smith, D.D., was born in Vernon, Connecticut and graduated from Beloit College before serving with the Wisconsin infantry for a few months during the Civil War. A college friend called Smith an accomplished storyteller and "the funniest man I ever knew."
After he attended Andover Theological Seminary, in 1872 the American Board of the Commissioners for Foreign Missions sent him and his wife, Emma Jane Dickenson, to China. They lived in the north China village of Panjiazhuang for several decades, aspiring to fit in as "natives." Arthur Smith steeped himself in Chinese classical literature and folklore, leading to a stream of articles and books, including Proverbs and Common Sayings from the Chinese (1886; 1916); Village Life in China: A Study in Sociology (1899); and China in Convulsion (1901), a two-volume study of the Boxer Uprising.
Chinese Characteristics (1894) was the most widely read American work on China until Pearl Buck’s The Good Earth (1931). It was the first to take up the task of analyzing Chinese society in the light of "scientific" social and racial theory.
Written as a series of pungent and sometimes comic essays for a Shanghai newspaper in the late 1880s, Chinese Characteristics was among the five most read books on China among foreigners living in China as late as World War I and it was read by Americans at home as a wise and authentic handbook. The book was quickly translated into Japanese and just as quickly into Chinese. It was accepted by the Chinese — and has maintained its authoritative status for over a century — as the quintessential portrait of the Chinese race drawn by a Westerner.
Lu Xun, the most prominent Chinese cultural critic of the early twentieth century, urged his students to study and ponder Smith’s message, which was very widely debated in Chinese student circles. Within the last decade (the 1990s), two different, new translations of Smith’s book were published in China and both editions have enjoyed wide distribution and readership. In the West, particularly since World War II, Chinese Characteristics has been widely quoted (though seldom read) as an example of Sino-myopia and Orientalism. Despite such Western pseudo-intellectual bias, Smith’s arguments retain the power to provoke critical introspection among Chinese and, for the honest, among Westerners as well.
中国人,近百余年来,意识形态和统治阶层不停轮换,但其根本性格却一直根深蒂固,从未改变。所以,尽管此书写于上上世纪末期,100多年过去了,你仍会觉得,它写的竟然就是今天。
评分在西西弗囫囵吞枣的把书一口气看完了,不可谓不痛快。 在打开这本书之前,请你注意!如果你是怀着逮出妖魔化中国的心理抠作者字眼的话,请止步! 作者作为一个来中国传教的美国人,在中国生活了50余年。可以说在一个离他的上帝大老远,而且放眼望不到一个同胞的地方渡过了大半...
评分不知道从何时开始,我们都必须要和别人扯几句“中国人的劣根性”,这似乎成为划分自己与那些随地吐痰、大声喧哗、光着膀子走在大街上的低素质人群的重要标准。 前两天先生发我一个笑话。 『昨天我去买票,一个小伙子直接插队站在我前面。我问他:“你这个人怎么不排队啊?”他...
评分Arthur.H.Smith寫的《Chinese Characteristics》,新世界出版社翻譯成《中國人德行》。 書腰上介紹:“一部魯迅先生力薦立此存照的書籍,一部逼真描述中國人德行的書籍,一位在華居住22年的美國人的驚動世界之作。” 總之是本從前老美從自己覺得了解的角度看中囯人,然後中國...
