摘要
19世纪下半叶长江流域成为英国在华势力范围与英驻华使领数十年的情报搜集、研究调查密切相关。依时序划分,英方对长江流域的调研大致可分为“发现”“认知”与“再识”三个阶段。三个阶段的次第演进更新着英方的长江知识,是英方构建侵略扩张模式的知识基础。英方对长江的调研不仅扭转了英国在华扩张的方向,使长江流域逐步沦为英方势力范围,而且成为英方提炼“通商口岸—轮船码头”“领事巡回制度”等新型侵略扩张模式的来源地和试验场。由此观之,“信息如何获取—积累何种知识—政策何以制定”或许是研究近代来华西人在华作为及影响的新路径。
In the second half of the 19th century,the Yangtze River Basin became the de facto British Sphere of Influence in China due to decades of meticulous investigation undertaken by the British Consular Service in China.This article breaks down the British research on the Yangtze River into three stages for analysis:"discovery","recognition"and"re-recognition".The three-stage sequential evolution updated the British knowledge of the Y angtze River,which led to the development of a new model of British aggression and expansion in China.The investigation in question not only changed the direction of British expansion in China towards the Yangtze River basin,but also helped the British define new strategies of aggression and expansion,such as the"Treaty Ports-Landing Places"and the"Consular Circuit System".Through this study,the author hopes to suggest a new way to research on the actions of Westerners in modern China and their impacts,namely,the process of"information acquisition-knowledge accumulation-policy-making".
