《南方纪行》中的中国形象

The Image of China in Nanpokiko

大正时期日本兴起的“中国情趣”风潮,促使佐藤春夫于1920年来到中国,他在游历中国南方后创作出游记《南方纪行》。佐藤一面对当时中国的种种事物充满厌恶与蔑视,一面又深深痴迷于具有中国特色的景物。他在《南方纪行》中对中国人物和景物的描写,直观地体现了其对中国的认识,也反映了当时的日本文人内心异国情调的变化。

Driven by the trend of Chinoiserie in the Taisho Period,Satoharuo went to China in 1920,wrote Nanpokiko after an extensive tour of southern China.He was resentful and looked down upon most things he experienced in China,but at the same time,he was obsessed with views there.In this book,the description of Chinese people and views gives a clear glimpse of his impression of China and the change of the Japanese literati’opinion on other countries at that time.
