Hong Kong, Art Exhibits To Understand The Early History

Companies resist change. This is nothing new in human experience. Thousands of years in all societies have worked hard on this by limiting the interaction between different cultures. As a result, people have often been separated based purely on race and culture. American history is the same. The history of racial discrimination is a fact. It 's always been a natural impulse of all people to make judgments about other persons who appear "different." After all, if a person believes in an inherent "superiority" of their culture, it is reasonable to assume that a person does not want foreign influence in their society to be as little as possible. This would certainly at least on hold!

In East Asia there are signs of an anti-foreign bias in the photo Art Hong Kong Museum of Art. It is interesting to understand the details of how the Chinese deliberately ordered their community to reduce the influence of people in the West, especially in the first half of the 19th century century. The Chinese, nearly two centuries ago, seemed to understand the influence of the "West" was a particular way of economic advantage. However, they also saw the West as a potential threat to their way of life. The art of Hong Kong is a story very specific about this period are worthy of careful consideration. While the former restrictions may seem to imply that "foreigners" were not wanted, this conclusion is wrong. The restrictions imposed by the Chinese to foreigners was actually designed to limit Western influence. However, they also show a real tolerance of Western influence as well.


The exhibition is called "Map of the city of Canton and its suburbs" of 1840 suggests that foreigners were limited by the Qing government. These rules included limits primary housing, mobility, employment of Chinese communication with the authorities, loans to Chinese traders, transport and the transport of weapons. The main limitation of foreigners by the Qing government was mainly due to lodging. Once they arrived, they were strangers sequestered in "factories abroad." There was a side of the south-western suburbs of the city of Canton, where they lived. They conduct their business with a small group of Chinese employees.

Limitation of accommodation, of course, has given strength to the other restrictions, that the movement of Chinese society. It 'has become a major concern in the Qing government, which had repeatedly said the major cause for concern. Seizure, the idea was to limit foreign factories in the suburb people, prohibiting them from walking at will, and even let the Chinese translators with them one day to other restricted areas. Photo art of this period, often describes the old Chinese companies without foreign influence, with few exceptions. An exception is the exhibition of "Polly Hatter Shop Street New China" in 1830. In this particular exception to the presence of foreigners is to describe, but showed obvious limitations.

The pictorial examples shown are not sufficient to show that all regulations were normal throughout. After all, restrictions and limitations rules covered in other aspects of housing and mobility. What is clear is that the tolerance of China and the "loosening grip" of the foreigners was under way. China began to accept the presence of foreign influence, especially the Western variety. If not, why the Qing government was so concerned about the correct application of these "restrictions?" Times change, yet!
