Book excerpt: Excerpt from France Et Chine, Vol. 2: Vie Publique Et Privee des Chinois Anciens Et Modernes Passe Et Avenir de la France dans l'Extreme Orient Quoique les maisons chinoises, en general, ne soient composees que d'un rez - de - chaussee, au sein des villes cependant, ou l'espace est toujours precieux, les maisons et les boutiques de la plupart des habitants ont un etage au - dessus du rez - de chaussee, et souvent, sur le toit, une plate - forme en bois, destinee a faire secher les marchandises, ou a tenir lieu de terrasse pour prendre le frais dans les. Soirees chaudes. Les Chinois ne voient. Pas sanset.0nnement les estampes qui representent nos villes, nos places et les hauts edifices qui s'e levent alentour. Ces grands corps de bauments, _ ces gigantesques pavillons qui les accompagnent, les epouvantent. Ils regardent nos rues comme des chemins creuses a travers d'affreuses montagnes, et nos maisons de cinq et six etages comme des rochers a perte de vue, perces de trous faits pour servir plutot de repaire a des animaux feroces ou a des oiseaux de proie, que de demeure a des etres humains. Le celebre Kang - hi lui - meme, un des empereurs les plus eclaires qu'ait eus la Chine, disait en voyant les plans de nos maisons euro peennes Il faut que l'europe soit un pays bien. Petit et bien miserable, puisqu'on n'y a pas assez de terrain pour etendre les villes et qu'on est oblige d'y batir en l'air. On ne saurait etre, en verite, ni plus Tartare ni plus Chinois! Mais ef fecfivement, quelle autre idee pouvait avoir au sujet des barbares de l'occident et de leurs regions inconnues, le Fils du Ciel empereur de l'im mense et vaste Empire du Milieu?

Download or read book Henri Bertin and the Representation of China in Eighteenth Century France written by John Finlay and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-07-09 with total page 218 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is an in-depth study of the intellectual, technical, and artistic encounters between Europe and China in the late eighteenth century, focusing on the purposeful acquisition of information and images that characterized a direct engagement with the idea of "China." The central figure in this story is Henri-Léonard Bertin (1720–1792), who served as a minister of state under Louis XV and, briefly, Louis XVI. Both his official position and personal passion for all things Chinese placed him at the center of intersecting networks of like-minded individuals who shared his ideal vision of China as a nation from which France had much to learn. John Finlay examines a fascinating episode in the rich history of cross-cultural exchange between China and Europe in the early modern period, and this book will be an important and timely contribution to a very current discussion about Sino-French cultural relations. This book will be of interest to scholars in art history, visual culture, European and Chinese history.

Download or read book A Global Enlightenment written by Alexander Statman and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2023-05 with total page 367 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "A Global Enlightenment is a book about the idea of Western progress, told through a series of conversations about Chinese science. Its protagonists - an ex-Jesuit missionary, a French statesman, a Manchu prince, Chinese literati, European savants, and other figures of the late Enlightenment world - exchanged ideas across cultures. In telling their stories here, Alexander Statman shows how Chinese science shaped a signature legacy of the European Enlightenment: the idea of Western progress. By focusing on the orphans of the Enlightenment, those who sought to vindicate ancient wisdom as others left it behind, Statman reveals that ideas about the uniqueness of the West - and the mystery, inscrutability, or otherness of the East - did not follow from the Enlightenment idea of progress but had to be invented. The orphans of the Enlightenment believed that the knowledge of the past and the East still had value for modern Europe, and their efforts to recover and explain it, in turn, uncover an unknown story of European engagement with Chinese science. In contrast to the common view, that over the course of the Enlightenment non-Western ideas were banished from European thought, Statman found that the opposite is true. Toward the end of the Enlightenment, Europeans only grew more interested in Chinese science, and this has had lasting effects, from the eighteenth century to today"--

Download or read book China s Education and the Industrialised World written by Ruth Hayhoe and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-12-12 with total page 395 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book, first published in 1987, studies the practical and intellectual import of China's educational relations with the industrialised West, the Soviet Union and Japan. On the practical level, it provides a broad historical and philosophical context within which the possibilities and dangers inherent in China's educational involvement with developed countries may be considered. The book tests the theory that education transfers from the developed to the developing world have been used to consolidate political domination and economic exploitation by providing a detailed and provocative historical analysis of China's relations with the major developed nations.

Download or read book China s European Headquarters written by Ariane Knüsel and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2022-04-28 with total page 327 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the Cold War, the People's Republic of China used Switzerland as headquarters for its economic, political, intelligence, and cultural networks in Europe. Based on extensive research in Western and Chinese archives, China's European Headquarters charts not only how Switzerland came to play this role, but also how Chinese networks were built in practice, often beyond the public face of official proclamations and diplomatic interactions. By tracing the development of Sino-Swiss relations in the Cold War, Ariane Knüsel sheds new light on the People's Republic of China's formulation and implementation of foreign policy in Europe, Latin America and Africa and Switzerland's efforts to align neutrality, humanitarian engagement, and economic interests.
