亚太传统月ZOOM:早期美国对中国文化的喜爱-哈达德教授

今年5月18日,哈达德教授演讲主题:早期的美国精英们对中国文化的喜爱。你知道吗:早在华人淘金之前,美国人就把中国风格的住房带回了美国?费城,纽约和波士顿就就纷纷建立的中国文化博物馆?

哈达德教授演讲内容 英文简介 Excursions to China in Early America

Before the start of the steamship era, only American merchants, missionaries, and government officials undertook the long voyage to China.  Yet ordinary Americans in eastern cities did have opportunities to learn about China and examine Chinese artifacts.  They could even meet Chinese people on American soil before the advent of Chinese immigration.  That is because a handful of enterprising American merchants and government officials brought Chinese collections and even Chinese people to the United States for display before 1850.  This presentation tells the story of these early, and quite curious, Sino-American encounters.
