具体描述

Between its founding in 1854 and its collapse in 1952, the Chinese Maritime Customs Service delivered one-third to one-half of all revenue collected by China's central authorities. Much more than a tax collector, the institution managed China's harbors, erected lighthouses, and surveyed the Chinese coast. It funded and oversaw the Translator's College, which trained Chinese diplomats while its staff translated Chinese classics, novels, and poetry and wrote important studies on the Chinese economy, its financial system, its trade, its history, and its government. It organized contributions to international exhibitions, developed its own shadow diplomacy, pioneered China's modern postal system, and even maintained its own armed force. After the 1911 Revolution, the agency became deeply involved in the management of China's international loans and domestic bond issues.

In other words, the Customs Service was pivotal to China's post-Taiping integration into the world of modern nation-states and twentieth-century trade and finance. If the Customs Service introduced the modern governance of trade to China, it also made Chinese legible to foreign audiences. Following the activities of the Inspectors General, who were virtual autocrats within the service and communicated regularly with senior Chinese officials and foreign diplomats, this history tracks the Customs Service as it transformed China and its relationship to the world. The Customs Service often kept China together when little else did. This book reveals the role of the agency in influencing the outcomes of the Sino-French War, the Boxer Rebellion, and the 1911 Revolution, as well as the rise of the Nationalists in the 1920s, and concludes with the Customs Service purges of the early 1950s, when the relentless logic of revolution dismantled the agency for good.

近些年,人们对于赫德早已不再陌生,其领导下的中国海关,更被今人誉为是清朝“唯一没由贪污腐败的部门”。赫德从英国来华时只有19岁,后来历经同治、光绪、宣统三朝,在中国海关做了48年“总税务司”,得到从一品的太子太保头衔。 我们知道,赫德及其继任者安格联、梅乐和、...

伫立街角、油漆斑驳的绿色邮筒,是中国几代人的共同记忆。我们将平邮或明信片黏上邮票,投入其中,却不会费心去想颜色的含义。与英国、日本等国通用的红色邮筒不同,早在大清邮政时代,中国邮筒就已经是这种形制和颜色了。中国现代邮政发轫于1897年,在海关总税务司赫德(Rober...

期末论文用,细读了前3章,感觉又开了一个大坑……

海关这个题材,又一次满足了非正式帝国迷恋者、公文档案窥视狂和吉卜林小说迷的全部理想。出入种种边界,独立且充斥着理性化的繁文,在世界的一头,用秘语和电报的细线连接还没有那么远的另一头:这是他们心目中的“过去”,但也仅仅是过去了。期待中文版早日面世。
