摘要
18世纪俄国女皇叶卡捷琳娜二世肯定中国传统道德与思想的普世价值,认可中国封建专制制度的典范意义;但她不清王朝在对俄关系中表现出的"傲慢"态度,试图发动对华战争,占领黑龙江流域;她同时又迷恋中国风物,模仿中国人的生活艺术以满足其奢华生活的欲望。叶卡捷琳娜二世复杂而矛盾的中国观实际上也是当时许多俄国贵族和部分文人中国认识的集中写照。然而,对于叶卡捷琳娜二世而言,无论欧洲有多少有关中国的动人传说,无论圣彼得堡建造了多少精美的中国式宫殿园林,都未能动摇其征服中国的野心。
Catherine Ⅱ of Russia approved the universalvalues of Chinese traditional morals and recognized the exemplary sense of China's feudal autocratic system. She also resented the Qing Dynasty's "arrogant" attitudes shown in its relations with Russia and tried to launch a war against China and occupy the Heilongjiang River. Meanwhile, she was obsessed with Chinese folk music, imitated Chinese art of living to satisfy her desire for luxury as well. Catherine Ⅱ's complex and contradictory view of China was actually a focused reflection of many Russian aristocrats and part of scholars' view of China. However, for Catherine Ⅱ, no matter how many moving stories Europe has about China and no matter how many beautiful Chinese-style palace gardens had been built in St. Petersburg either, they all failed to shake her ambitions to conquer China.
