The Five Faces of Matteo Ricci and the Comments on Chen Enwei's"Bilateral Adaptation"
At the turn of the century,Matteo Ricci(利玛窦)and Marco Polo(马可波罗)became the only two foreigners depicted in the circular relief murals of the Ode to the Chinese Thousand-year Annals(中华千秋颂)in the China Millennium Monument(中华世纪坛),and Matteo Ricci was also selected as one of the second millennium world's 100 top figures by Life(《生活》)in the United States.Matteo Ricci exerted an indisputable global influence.Overall,in the 400-year-long history,the evolution of Matteo Ricci's image can be summarized by two clues:the evolution from"controversial image"(有争议的形象)to"positive image"(正面形象)and the compatibility of"official image"(官方形象)with"folk image"(民间形象).Specifically,the reflection of the"Five Faces of Xitai Zi"and the evaluation of Chen Enwei's(陈恩维)"Bidirectional Adaptation(双向调适)Theory"can clarify the current four academic dilemmas,including the"impact-response"model(冲击-反应模式)as an instrument to interpret the conflict between Chinese and Western civilizations,the increasingly generalized study of cultural history,the opposition between the"subjective self"(主体性 自我)and"colonial others"(殖民地他者)in postcolonial theory,and a stereotypical and detestable study of the imagology of comparative literature.Furthermore,it is possible to break through the above four academic dilemmas and construct China's autonomous theoretical system of image history.
