Recognizing the Other and Reflecting on the Self: Modern Chinese Views of the Ottoman Empire
by Chen Peng
About This Novel
The Ottoman Empire was a special "other" in the process of modern Chinese people's understanding of the world and self-reflection. This book systematically sorts out the historical background and documentary sources of modern Chinese people's understanding of the Ottoman Empire, and grasps it from three levels: "Knowledge description and dissemination of the Ottoman Empire", "Ottoman Empire image and Chinese people's self-perception", and "References and reflections on the history of the development of the Ottoman Empire". It believes that the introduction of Ottoman Empire knowledge brought many new changes to modern China and also reflected many characteristics of Chinese social development. The history of modern Chinese people's perception of Ottoman-Turkey is actually the history of Chinese people's self-understanding. It is a unique history of exploration by modern Chinese people in thinking about the path to national salvation and development.
