19世纪的西方国家与中华帝国发生了大规模的接触和碰撞,然而西方力量蒸蒸日上,中国却陷入混沌不明,在几番浮沉中艰苦地摆脱封闭落后,力求重生与复兴。在纪念辛亥革命100周年的今天,当中国人回顾自身的历史,除了翻阅前辈的血泪记录之外,亦可作为中国人对照的西方人的历史描绘。在西方力量走向巅峰的过程中,诸如英国、法国、美国、德国等国的知名大众刊物均大幅地报道中国事务。在照相印刷技术未臻成熟的年代,新闻图像主要是透过密线木刻版画和石刻版画的方式呈现。一方面,西方画刊偏袒本国,对中国人的偏见显而易见;另一方面,他们对中国现代化的努力抱持肯定,对辛亥革命表现出同情的一面。《旧唐书》说:“当局称迷,傍观见审。”近代中国从满清走到共和,从共和走到今天,中国史家

In the process of the western power peaking, well-known mass publications such as Britain, France, the United States, and Germany all cover the Chinese affairs in a big way. At a time when photographic printing technology is not yet mature, news images are mainly presented in the form of dense wood engravings and lithographs. On the one hand, the western art galleries are biased in their own countries and their prejudices toward the Chinese are obvious. On the other hand, they hold affirmations of the efforts of China’s modernization and show sympathy for the 1911 Revolution. The Old Tang Book said: “The authorities say they are fond of fans and see and hear.” In modern China, from the Qing Dynasty to the republic and from the Republic to the present day, the Chinese historians
