摘　　要：Modem assessments of a well-known sign in a Shanghai park that stated ＂Dogs and Chinese Not Admitted＂ have established that the dog aspect of it was not true, but the sign remains highly visible in the Chinese historiography of Western imperialism. Such reassessments do not seem to recognize that the sign might have meant something considerably different to Chinese and foreigners in late Qing Shanghai than it would have in later periods of modem Chinese history. Dog-human relations had changed through a mix of two processes： dog-keeping as a social practice and the challenges of rabies in the management of urban space. Under the rule of the Shanghai Municipal Council, animals, health, and imperialism converged in the Shanghai International Settlement to destabilize the traditional roles of dogs and introduce modernity through the disciplining of both animal and human bodies and the demarcation and management of new urban spaces.Modem assessments of a well-known sign in a Shanghai park that stated ＂Dogs and Chinese Not Admitted＂ have established that the dog aspect of it was not true, but the sign remains highly visible in the Chinese historiography of Western imperialism.
