摘　　要：本文基于对历史图像的微观分析,就中国与世界的关系进行了宏观思考。本文认为,梁启超《新史学》中所谓的“世界之中国”,并非只是最晚进的“近世史”阶段的特征,而是包括“上世史”“中世史”在内的中国整体历史的特征。作为文化和空间双重视域的“中国”,正是在与“世界”不断交接过程中逐渐建构起来的。本文进一步区分了“大中国”和“小中国”的视域,一方面,认为可以通过传统图像关于“昆仑”的艺术想象,学习到具有重大历史潜力的新的空间和地理范式;另一方面,还指出了这一空间和地理范式背后所依据的真实的自然地理格局:是青藏高原的崛起导致印度洋和太平洋上双向循环的季风模式,形成亚、欧、非三大洲,以及地中海、黑海、红海、印度洋与太平洋诸文明之间来来往往、相互交流的自然节律,从而为世界文明相互需要的整体性,以及全球史和跨文化艺术史的研究,提供了自然与地理的基础。Based on the detailed analysis of historical images,this paper thinks about the relationship between China and the world as a whole.This paper believes that the idea"China of the World"put forward by Liang Qichao in his essay"A New Study of History"is a feature not only of the"modern history"of China,which is the latest stage,but of the entire history of China,including"ancient history"and"middle history"."China",both in terms of culture and space,is gradually built in its continuous communication with the"world".This paper distinguishes the scopes of"great China"and"small China".On one hand,this paper believes that traditional images of"Kunlun"in imagination helps us learn a new spatial and geographical pattern with great historical potential;on the other hand,it points out the natural terrain behind this pattern:the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau brings two-way monsoon to the Indian Ocean and the Pacific Ocean,forming the three continents of Asia,Europe and Africa and facilitating exchanges between civilizations around the Mediterranean Sea,the Black Sea,the Red Sea,the Indian Ocean and the Pacific Ocean,thus providing a natural and geographical foundation for civilizations around the world to need each other and for the study of global history and cross-cultural art history.
