《身体、主体与权力》：清代礼仪中的权力逻辑 — 史大伟外交官私藏

Ritual as Power: Body, Subject, and Power in China by Angela Zito —— From the Private Library of Stephen Schlaikjer

这本由著名汉学家 Angela Zito 撰写的学术名著，1994出版。

• 权力的仪式感：本书深度解析了中国清代如何通过祭孔、典礼等仪式，将抽象的“权力”转化为可见的“秩序”。对于想要理解中国政治中“面子”、“名分”与“位阶”本质的读者，这是不可逾越的经典。

• 外交官的跨时空对话：外交官史大伟先生收藏此书，体现了他超越单纯政治分析、转向文明底层逻辑研究的卓越视野。

• 流传有序：本书出自史大伟先生的书架，与其外祖父——哈佛馆藏级学者毕敬士（毕嘉恩）的汉学遗产一脉相承。

Angela Zito’s seminal work is a masterclass in understanding the intersection of ritual, philosophy, and political power in Imperial China.

• Deconstructing Power: Zito explores how the Qing court utilized Confucian rituals to mold the "body" of the subject and the "authority" of the Emperor. It provides a unique lens into the grand theater of Chinese governance.

• A Diplomat's Intellectual Tool: For Schlaikjer, this was not mere historical curiosity but a vital resource for deciphering the deep-seated cultural grammar of Chinese political behavior.

• Legacy of Insight: As the grandson of the renowned scholar Claude L. Pickens, Jr., Schlaikjer’s possession of this volume underscores a multi-generational commitment to mastering the complexities of Chinese civilization.
