Abstract

Abstract This paper addresses the appropriation in Old Regime France, the First French Republic, and the nascent United States of the ritual wherein at the start of the agricultural season the Chinese Emperor ceremonially drove the plow. It argues that this cultural transfer insinuated Chinese ideals of political sovereignty into the highest political levels in Europe and the United States, even as it effaced references to China. Overturning traditional art historical definitions of chinoiserie, it posits instead dynamic, dialectical processes of cultural exchange whose scope of cultural transfer is not restricted to what can be identified through comparisons of style and iconography.

《转动的地球:启蒙时代的中国耕作仪式》

摘要本文讨论了在旧政权的法国、法兰西第一共和国和新生的美国，在农业季节开始时，中国皇帝在仪式上犁地的仪式。它认为，这种文化转移将中国的政治主权理想暗示到欧洲和美国的最高政治层面，即使它抹去了对中国的提及。它推翻了对中国风的传统艺术史定义，而是提出了文化交流的动态、辩证过程，其文化转移的范围并不局限于通过风格和图像的比较可以识别的东西。
