DESCRIPTION;ALTREP="CID:<FFFF__=0ABBE548DFE235B58f9e8a93d@coffeebean.com>":
 Online Zoom Seminar.\nThe 19th century witnessed significant changes in th
 e relationships between the East and the West. China experienced the arriv
 al of modern diplomatic institutions as highly impactful\, and China’s res
 ponse to these has for long been observed through the classic paradigm of 
 “Impact-Response Theory.” However\, an increasing number of case studies h
 ave demonstrated and emphasized that modern China’s diplomatic institution
 s are deeply rooted in imperial China itself. This revelation may prompt a
  shift in the historical paradigm. While there are similarities between Ch
 ina’s diplomatic institutions and the Western diplomatic system\, its prac
 tical operation mainly adheres to the political logic of imperial China. T
 he forms these institutions took were not constant but evolved through adj
 ustments made by imperial China according to its actual needs.\nTherefore\
 , the functioning of modern China’s diplomatic institution needs to be tho
 roughly ‘re-researched’ and revaluated. This talk aims to address this sig
 nificant issue from the perspective of a group of “professional diplomats”
  – China’s envoys to foreign countries. The talk is divided into two parts
 . The first part examines the Chinese government’s methods and measures fo
 r dealing with Westerners in the 19th century from a macro perspective spa
 nning a long duration\, focusing on the establishment and changes of the d
 iplomatic institution. The second part consists of two case studies illust
 rating how the Chinese envoy in Germany\, Lü Haihuan 呂海寰 (1843-1927)\, han
 dled diplomatic events.\nHUANG Tian is a PhD Candidate at Hamburg Universi
 ty studying Chinese diplomatic relations and practices during the Qing era
 \, focusing in partciular on the history of Sino-German relations in the 1
 9th century. He obtained his Master degree at the Shanghai Academy of Soci
 al Sciences in 2014. Having received a Bachelor degree in Engeneering befo
 re that (at the Northwestern Polytechnical University)\, he is also intere
 sted in the history of scientific and technological exchanges between Chin
 a and the West\, focusing on the history of agriculture and medical exchan
 ge. He has authored several articles on these topics that have appeared in
  the Journal of the National Museum of China\, the Chinese Journal of Scie
 nce and Technology History\, the Global History Review and in Modern China
