法国18世纪“景德镇神话”何以形成——一个感觉史意义上的中法文化交流的个案

Formation of the “Jingdezhen Myth” in Eighteenth-century France:A Case Study of Sino-French Cultural Exchange in the Sense of the Growth of Feeling

18世纪来华传教士殷弘绪(Fran?ois-Xavier D’Entrecolles,1662—1741)介绍景德镇的书信在法国广为流传,并最终形成了一个比较文学意义上的"神话"。本文从这一文化现象切入,从感觉史的角度探讨了此一"神话"形成的诸多历史文化原因,并以画家布歇的"中国风"创作为例,进一步分析了华瓷在罗可可艺术中起到的启迪与滋养作用。指出不同文化间的交流、碰撞同样会作用于一个民族的感觉史,促其更新、变化,因而感觉史是与精神生活史、思想史密不可分的。

Widely circulated in eighteenth-century France, letters about Jingdezhen written by missionaries to China created a "myth" in the sense as understood in comparative literature. This paper explores the formation of this myth in its various historical and cultural dimensions, from the perspective of the growth of feeling. Taking an example of Fran?ois Boucher's paintings of "chinoiserie", the paper further analyses the role of inspiration and nourishment in Rococo art played by Chinese porcelain. The paper concludes that exchange and collision with other cultures may contribute to a nation's renewal of feeling, which is inseparable from spiritual and intellectual history.
