具體描述
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.

讀後感
在文明的梯子上 说起几千年悠久的历史文化传统，我们总不免心神荡漾，喜形于色。但反顾现实，我们多又能清醒地意识到，我们尚未孵化出一个现代化的社会，我们尚处于“发展中”的落后、追赶地位。俗话说：“晨起的鸟儿有虫吃”。但岁月浩瀚、底蕴深厚如此，却不见有...
評分两百多年后，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...
評分终于看完了这本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...
評分在虹口图书馆看到这本书的时候，想起好像是老师推荐阅读的书，而且看起来很老的样子，出版年代是1993年。由于我一直觉得西方学者写中国的书，尤其是旧版本的，应该都是一些很经典的书，所以，在好几次错过之后，这个暑假还是把它借出来了。而且现在在考虑要不要把何伟亚的《怀...
評分本书重要之处在于： 1，重述了马戛尔尼使团访华之行始末，打破了西方人的幻想，之前因为耶稣会修士们的信件和《马可波罗游记》中描述，中华帝国被描述成世外桃源般的国度（Xanadu），里面的统治者和子民仿佛都是智者贤人。实际上如何呢，观者自知——举个例子说就是那些替马戛...
