睁眼看世界:中国比较文学的觉醒

Opening eyes to see the world: the awakening of Chinese comparative literature

鸦片战争的爆发,引爆了中西文化碰撞的导火索,把中国拖上近代历史的轨道。在冲进国门的西方文化面前,我们的民族不得不进行思考,我们的文化不得不作出抉择。于是,一批醒来的新人开始审视外面的世界,用不同于传统的思维撰写介绍域外风情的著作,用比较的视角剖析域外和中国的现实,既开了国人"睁眼看世界"的先河,也预示了中国比较文学的觉醒。

The outbreak of the Opium War detonated the fuse of collision between Chinese and West -ern cultures ,and China was dragged on the track of modern history .In the face of Western culture that rushed into the country , our nation has to think about it before making a choice .Therefore , a group of pioneers who woke up and started to look at the outside world , wrote to introduce foreign customs in the ways that are different from the traditional thinking pattern , analyzed the foreign and China＇s real-ity from a comparative perspective , thus not only setting up a precedent of “opening eyes to see the world” for our countrymen , but also indicating the awakening of Chinese comparative literature .
