Chinese Characteristics pdf epub mobi txt 電子書 下載2025
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.

讀後感
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...
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。
評分这勉强算个读后感，因为读完大脑拼凑不出清晰的脉络关系。 现在大家喜欢旅行，无论国内国外，通常选择与自己平时生活不同的地方，完后带回许多照片，习惯性地以一个旁观者的姿态向他人讲述和评论所见所闻。当所去的地方“落后”于自己的生活时，人们很容易俯视评判。如果是个...
用戶評價
又是“意圖”與“效果”之間産生舛錯的曆史遺跡之一。在注意到“Christian civilization will have to win its way among a skeptical and ingenious people”之時，是否也應同時注意到是書扉頁第一句引用即是“四海之內，皆兄弟也”呢？——遺跡的紋理質地是駁雜的。
评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。
评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????
评分無話可說 作者真是……太浮誇瞭????
评分本書是魯迅先生的靈感來源。青年人讀一讀有個心理準備，你要去社會上即將和什麼樣特性的人相處，都在本書中有描繪。
