書籍描述

Tonio Andrade is professor of history at Emory University and the author of Lost Colony: The Untold Story of China’s First Great Victory over the West (Princeton) and How Taiwan Became Chinese.

The Chinese invented gunpowder and began exploring its military uses as early as the 900s, four centuries before the technology passed to the West. But by the early 1800s, China had fallen so far behind the West in gunpowder warfare that it was easily defeated by Britain in the Opium War of 1839–42. What happened? In The Gunpowder Age, Tonio Andrade offers a compelling new answer, opening a fresh perspective on a key question of world history: why did the countries of western Europe surge to global importance starting in the 1500s while China slipped behind?

Historians have long argued that gunpowder weapons helped Europeans establish global hegemony. Yet the inhabitants of what is today China not only invented guns and bombs but also, as Andrade shows, continued to innovate in gunpowder technology through the early 1700s—much longer than previously thought. Why, then, did China become so vulnerable? Andrade argues that one significant reason is that it was out of practice fighting wars, having enjoyed nearly a century of relative peace, since 1760. Indeed, he demonstrates that China—like Europe—was a powerful military innovator, particularly during times of great warfare, such as the violent century starting after the Opium War, when the Chinese once again quickly modernized their forces. Today, China is simply returning to its old position as one of the world’s great military powers.

By showing that China’s military dynamism was deeper, longer lasting, and more quickly recovered than previously understood, The Gunpowder Age challenges long-standing explanations of the so-called Great Divergence between the West and Asia.

##很受military revolution史觀影響。論點直接,認為中國曆史上戰爭頻繁的時期促進火藥武器發展,反之則阻礙。對比歐洲火藥武器發展史,考察發展路綫不同(歐洲的火炮和菱堡)以及中西交流和接觸衝突。認為盛清和平(乾隆後期到19世紀初)所緻的軍事落後造成鴉片戰爭落敗。

##從軍事史角度分析中西大分流,這類學術書籍竟然意外的好讀,雖說作者的論點有待商榷,但論據確實讓我漲瞭不少知識 中國是發明火藥和槍炮的國度,但在明清時代的數百年裏卻漸漸落後,到鴉片戰爭時麵對西方的堅船利炮,清軍已不堪一擊。到19世紀末,列強無一不是工業化國傢,世界軍事力量格局的不均衡性前所未有,直至1950年代初朝鮮戰爭和越南抗法的奠邊府戰役,這一局麵纔宣告終結。迴顧這段...

##處所謂“中心”者反思歐洲中心主義最甚,此書廓清一個重要觀點:“任何情況下,軍事現代化的動力都不該狹隘地理解為西方化”。書從宋朝講起,至於大清帝國覆滅,以火器戰爭為中心視野貫穿,視其為曆史發展的重要推動力。近代中國之落後西方——所謂“大分流”,認為最大緣由在...
