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.

評分在虹口圖書館看到這本書的時候,想起好像是老師推薦閱讀的書,而且看起來很老的樣子,齣版年代是1993年。由於我一直覺得西方學者寫中國的書,尤其是舊版本的,應該都是一些很經典的書,所以,在好幾次錯過之後,這個暑假還是把它藉齣來瞭。而且現在在考慮要不要把何偉亞的《懷...
評分天朝情結與大國意識 在1793年,法國進行的大革命為世人所矚目,而同樣在這一年發生的另一重要事件卻很難吸引曆史教材的目光,甚至很少被人們所銘記,它在我們的曆史教材中幾乎不會齣現,曆史教授們口中也不過偶爾說上一句:“馬戛爾尼齣使清朝”而已。...

評分兩百多年後,中國看起來已經天反復地的變化,但是骨子裏仍然和當年乾隆治下的帝國並無二緻。龐大臃腫的官僚機器仍然在運作,社會仍然有非常精確的等級,過去的一品二品,如今用部級局級等代替,仍然特彆在乎順序和排名,誰的名字齣現在誰的名字前麵絲毫不能錯,否則就會齣大事...
