Abstract:After his first trip to China in 1918, JunichiroTanizaki created a series of prose works recording his travel experiences. These prose works about his trip to China described Chinese cuisine, beautiful sceneries in China and Chinese operas, presenting a multi-dimensional image of China. As the image of a foreign country in prose works, the image of China depicted by Tanizaki is not only a cultural entity that objectively exists in the works, but also a projection of the writer’s personal “Chinese aesthetic sensibilities”, and moreover, it is a product of the interweaving of the author’s personal perspective, cultural background and the spirit of the times, showing the differences between the “textual China” and the “real China”.
