評分by Arthur Henderson Smith
評分無話可說 作者真是……太浮誇瞭????
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!
評分讀這本書差點氣得背過氣去,一半是因為寫得在理,一半是因為西方凝視????
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.
最近看了一本书,很好,书名叫《中国人的脸谱》(Chinese Characteristics)。有了网络以后,很少看书,能从头到尾看完整的更少了,但这本书做到了。 作者原名Arthur Henderson Smith(1845-1932),生于美国,中文名明恩溥。1872年来到中国,随后在中国生活达54年,后回美国安...
評分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...
評分现在看来,明恩溥的这本书应该叫做《19世纪的中国人》,里面说到中国人的很多特点,现在都趋于消失了。当然,在某些贫困落后的地方可能还会看到。 比如说到中国人节俭,使用任何一块布料,都能充分使之物尽其用。但现在,即便一个不那么喜欢炫富的人,都不可能节俭至此(家中...
評分中国人,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。
評分我自认为为已经脱离了一些低级趣味。 但看完这本书,突然发现在中国文化中成长起来的我,还是没有逃脱《中国人德行》中描述的一些缺点。 在乎面子 节俭到不计算得失 无效率的勤劳 缺乏时间观念(容易迟到) 忽视精确 不讲究舒适和方便
