具体描述
This is the story of a failed attempt by the British, in 1793, to open the Chinese Empire to Western trade. Led by Lord Macartney, whose distinguished diplomatic posts included India and the Caribbean, the enormous British expedition of nearly 700 men included doctors, scholars, painters, musicians, soldiers and young aristocrats, and lasted more than two years, and its success would have redefined the history of the 19th and 20th centuries. The author has made use of a variety of sources, including, on the British side, the diary of the 12-year-old Thomas Stanton, son of Macartney's deputy, who was the only person in the whole English fleet who spoke Chinese, and, on the Chinese side, the newly discovered secret reports of the Emperor's officials, all annotated by the Emperor himself.

天朝情结与大国意识 在1793年，法国进行的大革命为世人所瞩目，而同样在这一年发生的另一重要事件却很难吸引历史教材的目光，甚至很少被人们所铭记，它在我们的历史教材中几乎不会出现，历史教授们口中也不过偶尔说上一句：“马戛尔尼出使清朝”而已。...
评分在想该给这篇书评起一个怎样的题目，突然就想起了Hayek的那本书。 这是本老书，二十年前便引进了。观当年的学者言语，说道曾读过此书，自己便一直存了个念头就是找来看看。今年三联再版《停滞的帝国》，于是不费力地买来存读，这几天集中精力终于读完。 ...

评分在文明的梯子上 说起几千年悠久的历史文化传统，我们总不免心神荡漾，喜形于色。但反顾现实，我们多又能清醒地意识到，我们尚未孵化出一个现代化的社会，我们尚处于“发展中”的落后、追赶地位。俗话说：“晨起的鸟儿有虫吃”。但岁月浩瀚、底蕴深厚如此，却不见有...
