【摘要】：明清以来,欧洲掀起了中国热。诸多从未涉足中国的西方作家对中国作了想当然的描写,构建了丰富多彩的中国形象,尤以英国的笛福最具代表性。笛福在小说中对西方传统的中国形象作了文学反转,完全颠覆了西方固有的乌托邦视域,与当时欧洲主流对中国的正面评价和热情向往大相径庭。由于笛福复杂的人生经历和重商主义理念,他对中国的描写显得异常失真,在小说中丑化甚至妖魔化中国的一切元素,而这跟当时英国商业扩张进华受阻,宗教信仰的差异,还有笛福本人反传教士美化中国的描写及民族主义情结等因素有密切关联。
[Abstract]:Since the Ming and Qing dynasties, China has become popular in Europe. Many Western writers who have never set foot in China have taken China for granted and constructed a rich and colorful image of China. In particular, Defoe of England is the most representative. In his novels, Defoe makes a literary reversal of the traditional Chinese image of the West, which completely subverts the inherent utopian horizon of the West. Contrary to the European mainstream's positive evaluation and enthusiasm for China at that time, Defoe's description of China was distorted because of Defoe's complicated life experience and mercantilism. In the novel, all elements of China are demonized, which is different from that of British commercial expansion and religious belief at that time. There is also Defoe himself anti-missionaries to beautify China description and nationalism complex factors are closely related.
