Comprehensive Research on Exoticism

异国情调并不局限于西方。也不是到了现代。我们全面研究了这种难以捉摸的异国情调。在这样做的过程中，我们集中精力研究了不能归结为东方主义或帝国主义的异国情调的影响，并呈现了它的具体形象。例如，热爱中国园林和瓷器的欧洲人，在他们确切知道发生了什么之前，就被介绍给了现代。关于这一点，我们认为，与普遍接受的理论相反，对西方来说，中国主义而不是日本主义可能是革命力量。

Exoticism is not confined to the West. Nor to modern age. We studied this elusive exoticism comprehensively. In doing so, we concentrated our efforts to the influence of exoticism which can't be reduced to Orientalism, or imperialism, and presented its concrete image. For example, European people, who loved Chinese garden and porcelain, were introduced to modernity ,before they knew what was happening exactly. In relation to this point, we suggested that against commonly accepted theory, Chinoiserie rather than Japonisme might be revolutionary power to the West.
