摘　　要：华裔美国文学名著《中国佬》一经面世便获奖，且作者认为其质量比轰动一时的《女勇士》还高出一筹。本文选取新历史主义视角，试图修正国内以往《中国佬》研究中存在的种种缺陷，从历史的文本再现和文本再现的历史意义这两方面阐明历史事实与文学文本的巧妙交融乃是该作品的本质特征，以期进一步确认其在美国当代文学中的重要地位。Chinese American literary masterpiece China Men won critical acclaim soon after its publication in 1980. Its author, Maxine Hong Kingston, even regarded it as higher in quality than her sensational Woman Warrior. In an attempt to rectify past deficiencies in the work＇s various interpretations in China, this paper intends to employ New Historicism in order to explain why China Men enjoys such a reputation as it does by focusing on the multiple interplays between historical facts and their textual （including photographical） representation. It is further believed that only by means of using such a critical approach can we best put this important work in the most appropriate perspective and establish its proper position in modern American literature.
