启蒙时代欧洲的中国知识不仅有形而上的知识和思想层面,也反映在比较形而下的日常生活层面,而社会风尚往往又是思想的折射或受其影响所致。以往的论著大多已经比较详细地排比了18世纪欧洲人的艺术口味和中国趣味,文章则试图揭示出,那些影响了欧洲知识界看待中国之眼光的社会背景和思想潮流是如何影响着欧洲人的日常生活,并且与中国发生这样或那样的联系的。

Chinoiserie and Rococo of the Age of Enlightenment

And culture in daily life is mostly influenced by the mentally sides. Chinoiserie is the Chinese style the 17th to 18th century European represented in inner decoration, furniture, pottery, textiles and garden designing. Its appearance is one of the reasons Baroque changed to Rococo. Thanks to Rococo, Chinoiserie has greatly developed in the 18th century. And on the other hand, Rococo as a live and an art style of an age, has also became a mirror of China for European folks.
