ABSTRACT

『Hu You Za Ji』 is the first "city guide" book published in Chinese on Shanghai. In terms of visible structural aspects, this book looks like that it can not make it a usable guide to go around the city. However, the narrative of 『Hu You Za Ji』 makes travelers form a covert but systematic perspective on Shanghai as a modern city by Chinese literati. This is one of the main mechanisms for readers to form his or her own selective viewpoint of modern Shanghai. And in 1876,『Hu You Za Ji』 begins to construct a special image of someone about Shanghai. After the opening of port, Shanghai was being composed by new cultures and products that categorizes as engineering technology today. The author Ge Yuanxu(葛元煦) was an insider who had lived in Shanghai for 15 years, and at the same time he was an outsider who had moved from another region, HangZhou. He focused on the administration, infrastructure, transportation, lifestyle and entertainment of the concession, a foreign settlement in Shanghai.
