如果要說文中的晚清人跟當代中國人有何相同之處,隻能說都是窮過來的。
評分如果要說文中的晚清人跟當代中國人有何相同之處,隻能說都是窮過來的。
評分看過後真的有哀其不幸怒其不爭之感,最可悲的是時至今日諸多現象依舊有跡可尋。不論明恩溥是否帶著傳教、文化殖民的思想傾嚮,客觀地說,此書有值得我們反思之處。
評分非常獨特的看中國文化的視角,雖然有失偏頗但有獨到之處!
評分by Arthur Henderson Smith
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.
讨论中国人的民族性的声音多少年来不绝于耳,咱不说远的,就说说近一些的。无论是鲁迅、胡适、林语堂,还是柏杨、龙应台、三毛,当然,这都是明着说的。放在作品里说的就更多,金庸老先生从古代说,莫言从乡村说,钱钟书从知识分子身上说等等等等,但是,关起门来咱自家人...
評分我喜欢另一个版本的。 《中国人的素质》秦悦老师翻译的。 读起来非常顺畅! 大家去买那本! 这个版本不行。
評分这是一本鲁迅先曾极力推荐过的书。 读过之后我 想了很多,在此与大家交流。 书中的主要思想,说穿了就是对两中文化的对比,最后得出的结论当然是那个已经被我们完全接受的,西方文明优于中国文明,中国人有劣根性。 这样的话我们已经认定为真理,并且将其作为中国之所以贫穷...
評分 評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...
