摘要
土耳其在晚清中国的形象,并非只是学术界通常所认为的泥古守旧、不知变革之＂病夫＂。在大国心态和民族主义的双重驱动下,中国知识界并未机械移植西方人的＂病夫＂话语,而是通过区分中土国际处境和文教制度,建构出更为弱势的他者,以表达民族自尊和自信。因地缘、民族与宗教等原因,土耳其先于中国碰触、接受乃至反思过西方文明,其作为变革者的正面形象得到国人的瞩目,并为中国的近代改革提供了更具针对性和实用性的参照。土耳其人坚韧的战斗精神和较强的军事实力,也为知识界赞赏并纳入国民性批判和改造话语。而现实中来自土耳其的军事干预和威胁,则令国人产生了深深的担忧和戒备之心。
The image of Turkey in late Qing China was not just the＂sick man＂which was fogyish and ignorant of changes in general views. Driven by the mentality of great powers and nationalism,the Chinese intellectuals did not transplante the discourse of＂sick man＂from the Westerners mechanically. Instead,they constructed a more vulnerable other by distinguishing the international situation between China and Turkey as well as the cultural and educational system,to express national self-esteem and self-confidence. Because of geography,nation and religion,Turkey touched,accepted and even reflected on Western civilization before China. Thepositive image of Turkey as a reformer attracted the attention of Chinese intellectuals,and it provided a reference which possessed more pertinence and practicability for China＇s modern reform. The tenacious fighting spirit of Turks and their strong military might were also appreciated by the intellectuals and then incorporated into the national criticism and reformational discourses. But in reality,the military intervention and threat from Turkey aroused deep concern and alertness of Chinese intellectuals.
