长期以来,文艺复兴运动一直被视为一个意大利和欧洲的独有现象,然而,倘若把这一运动置于全球情景中重新加以审视,它的一些先前不为人知或被忽视的面相开始凸显出来,一方面,文艺复兴运动本身吸收了许多非欧洲的尤其是伊斯兰世界和非洲的文化元素;另一方面,文艺复兴文化传播到欧洲以外的广阔世界,包括美洲、印度、远东的中国和日本。可见,要准确地认识文艺复兴运动的特征,就必须充分考虑这一文化运动与异域文化的互动与交融。 For a long time, the Renaissance movement had always been regarded as a unique phenomenon in Italy and Europe. However, if this movement was revisited in the global context, some of its previously unknown or neglected aspects began to emerge On the one hand, the Renaissance itself absorbed many non-European cultural elements, especially the Islamic world and Africa. On the other hand, the Renaissance culture spread to a vast world outside Europe, including the Americas, India, the Far East, China and Japan. Therefore, to accurately understand the characteristics of the Renaissance movement, we must fully consider the interaction and blending of this cultural movement and the exotic culture.
