| Popis: | After the end of the First Opium War in 1842, “face” had become a convenient colonial tool for the Western powers. They also introduced a new phrase that didn’t really exist in Chinese, “saving face,” which became a Western symbol of ridicule and condescension. “Face” became even more popular once it was published as the opening chapter of the second edition of Arthur H. Smith’s Chinese Characteristics in 1894, the most influential China book of its day. |
