内容提要 柯瑞思著的《乌镇(中国古镇的世界闻名之路)(英文版)》通过介绍乌镇悠久的历史、浓郁的文化、现当代艺术发展,以及其近二十年的“重生”,本书试图向读者解释这个古老的中国水乡如何不仅能够每年吸引上百万的游客,还成为“世界互联网大会”的较为举办地。在此过程中,本书作者,英国的历史学家柯瑞思(Nicholas Chrimes),将乌镇置于中国历史文化的大背景之下,并与欧美主要国家进行比较,力图向世界读者展示乌镇、以及它所代表的整个中国如何完美得将传统与现代性结合起来,同时也希望欧美读者能够通过乌镇以及其他相似的古镇更加充分地了解中国历史和文化、理解现代中国。 目录 AcknowledgementsAbout the AuthorAuthors NoteMajor Imperial Chinese DynastiesPrefaceIntroduction1 WuzhenA Home in Southern China2 The Story of WuzhenThe Towns Pathway Through Chinas History3 Wooden WuzhenThe Architectural Traditions of China4 The Gardens of WuzhenParadise on Earth5 Literary WuzhenIts Place in the History of Chinese Literature6 Wuzhens WealthA Land ofFish and Rice, Silk and Tea...7 ‘Big Project’ChinaThe Path from the Great Wallto Wuzhen8 Food in the Middle KingdomA Taste ofWuzhen9 A Cultural Education in WuzhenThe Story ofFoot-Bindingand the Place of Women in China10 WeddingRitualsMarriage in Chinese Society11 From Literati to TechnocratiThe Internet,Wuzhen and China12 The Path ofLearningEducation in China13 Wuzhens PlacePast,PresentandFutureAppendicesJoseph Needham,Li YueseThe Consequences ofPeace,or‘LordElgin No 1 andLordElgin No 2’SlothandWantoflndustry:The VerdictontheEnglishAttemptatSedmd2ureAnImbalanceinIntellectual TradeBibliographyIndex 作者介绍
