18世纪的中国人对欧洲事物的品味，与其说是通过进口外国商品，不如说是通过国内生产的具有东方色彩的艺术品来满足的，这是一种可以被称为“西方”的多样化的物品类别。本文将先前对西方的思考从耶稣会使命和宫廷绘画转向跨越地理、材料、格式和社会阶层的多样性。中国的西方电影在不同的地方和不同的观众中以不同的方式制作，从而获得外国或异国情调的光环，更准确地反映了这一现象在整个帝国范围内的复杂性。
The eighteenth-century Chinese taste for European things was met less by importing foreign goods than by domestically producing occidentalizing works of art, a diverse category of objects that can be termed “occidenterie.” This essay redirects the previous consideration of occidenterie from the Jesuit mission and imperial court painting toward a diversity of examples that span geography, material, format, and social class. The various ways in which Chinese occidenterie produced in different places and for different audiences employed elements connoting the West, thereby acquiring their foreign or exoticizing auras, more accurately reflects the empire-wide complexity of this phenomenon.
