《中国龙的发明》内容简介
本书借助文化学、民俗学的基本方法，溯源龙是如何成为帝王专属，又是如何过渡到全民共享的，考证了不同时期龙形象在不同历史语境下的变迁。
在探讨近现代域外视野中龙形象的问题时，作者梳理了200多幅欧、美、日等国古旧书刊的罕见图片，从象征地位的皇家符号、时尚元素，到讽刺、攻击东方古国的惯用素材，揭示出龙形象及其背后含义的复杂性。
在全球化的背景下，重温中西方文化碰撞的旧话题，不仅给我们一个理解中国传统文化深刻内涵的新视角，更能脱离时代局限审视域外文化的传播和交流，以史为鉴，更好地总结经验教训，寻求现代文化困境的破解之道。

Introduction to the Invention of the Chinese Dragon
With the help of the basic methods of culturology and folklore, this book traces how the dragon became the exclusive property of the emperor and how it was shared by the whole people, and examines the changes of the image of the dragon in different historical contexts in different periods.
When discussing the image of the dragon in the modern foreign perspective, the author combs more than 200 rare pictures of ancient books and periodicals in Europe, the United States, Japan and other countries, from the royal symbol of status, fashion elements, to the common material of satire and attack on the ancient East, revealing the complexity of the image of the dragon and the meaning behind it.
In the context of globalization, revisiting the old topic of the collision of Chinese and western cultures not only gives us a new perspective to understand the profound connotation of traditional Chinese culture, but also enables us to examine the spread and exchange of foreign cultures beyond the limitations of The Times, take history as a mirror, better sum up experience and lessons, and seek a solution to the dilemma of modern culture.
