摘要
晚明以迄清中叶,中国的旅游文化已有相当高度的发展,旅游的相关设施举凡饮食、住宿、交通工具等方面都朝向商品化发展。但是对明清这段时期中国旅游的发展如何作客观的评估呢?尤其是旅游的硬件设施,算是先进还是落后呢?明清旅游设施更新的进展是否有突破性与革命性的发展呢?要回答这个问题必须从中西比较的角度来找寻答案。晚明以来已有不少西方人到过中国,并留下许多记录。通过这些记录,我们将此时期中国旅游文化的发展,放在世界史的角度作观察,更能凸显出中国的地位。
From late Ming Dynasty to the middle period of Qing Dynasty, which is called the early modern period by Western historians, Chinese tourism culture had developed and flourished to a considerable degree, as can be proved by the fact that tourist facilities such as accommodation, transport means, etc. as well as food and drink for tourists had all improved as commodities, and by the fact that there had even appeared groups of tourists who were dressed in suits, very much like modem touring parties. But how should we objectively assess and evaluate the development of Chinese tourism between late Ming Dynasty and the middle period of Qing Dynasty? Especially, with regard to tourists' facilities as hardware, should they be regarded as advanced or backward? Did the process of renewed tourists' facilities witness thorough changes and revolutionary developments? In order to reply to these questions, it is necessary to seek their answers from the perspective of comparisons of Chinese tourists' facilities with those in the West. Since the late Ming Dynasty, there had been an influx of Westerners into China, who had left many records. From these records we can see their appraisal and evaluation of Chinese facilities for tourists, including their assessment of installations along roads and canals, of such transport means as pleasure - boats, sedan chairs, etc. and of hotels, restaurants, etc. The writer believes that China' s position can be made to stand out more attractively when the development of Chinese tourism culture during that period is observed from the angle of the history of the world.
