摘要
七个世纪以来的西方的中国形象经历了各种变幻,但其观照出来的并非中国,而是西方人自己。中国人以西方的中国形象透视自己无异于镜中寻花、水中揽月。但西方的中国形象套话一旦形成,就具有符号性的支配功能,可以不指向现实而进行自我复制。五四运动以来的国民性讨论如果放在中国形象问题的视野中来考察,就会发现触目惊心的事实,即中国的精英知识分子与西方论述形成了合谋,共同发明创造了中国的国民性问题。而且,这种合谋在当下仍有其市场,因此要警惕中国是否已经失去了表述自己的功能与话语权,只能用西方话语表述自己,沦为只能被表述的境地。
The West people’s impression of China has changed a lot in the last seven centuries, which reflects something changed in the West instead of China. It is not appropriate for us to identify ourselves through Chinese image in the eyes of the West. Since it was formed, it has been able to be replicated itself as a note without relating to the reality at the same time, so we need to keep an eye on the stereotype of Chinese image. If we talk about Chinese characters in a view of the West people’s impression of China, we can find out a surprising fact that Chinese intellectuals comply with the West to discuss this subject. As this situation continues, we should hold our own opinions on the topic and bring forward our solutions in case of loosing our discourse.
