具体描述
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.

评分终于看完了这本500页厚的书，这是我早就关注的书了，但说实话，通读完并没给我所想象的震撼，现在毕竟不同于几十年前。但是的确它提供了一个外国人看中国的独特视角。 这本书最大的特点就是对资料的占有，作者通过使团的文件和日记，传教士的通信以及连一般中国人都不得...
评分我已不再愿听老人的智慧 而宁愿听到老人的愚行 听到老人对不安和狂乱所感受到的恐惧。 ——T.S.艾略特 历史是一剂猛药。 当我在首图阅览室某个隐蔽的书架上偶然找到《停滞的帝国》时并没有想起这点，只是...
评分两百多年后，中国看起来已经天反复地的变化，但是骨子里仍然和当年乾隆治下的帝国并无二致。庞大臃肿的官僚机器仍然在运作，社会仍然有非常精确的等级，过去的一品二品，如今用部级局级等代替，仍然特别在乎顺序和排名，谁的名字出现在谁的名字前面丝毫不能错，否则就会出大事...
评分From http://shiyuhang.org/blog/983.html 1793年，牛年，乾隆皇帝八十二岁，也是他执掌大权的第五十八个年头，这一年世界算不上太平，法国大革命如火如荼，路易十六惨遭处决，雨果的《九三年》就是以这一年为背景。更重要的，在这一年西方同中国有了正式接触，乾隆皇帝接见...
