This article examines how the Qing state imagined the political incursion of Russian culture in
the Amur River basin, a disputed borderland with the Russian empire. The Qing administration was
apprehensive about signs that the indigenes of this area were embracing Russian material customs,
and that these people would be more open to Russian control. Conversion to Russian Orthodoxy,
despite a relative lack of missionary activity, and thus submission to foreign religious
authorities, were also regarded as a threat. Such concerns were seen as detrimental to the Qing and
as strengthening St Petersburg's claim over the Amur. Such anxieties were expressed both in the
folk culture of the Amur River indigenes (Orochen, Dagur) as well as in official Qing documents.
This article will also seek to contextualize the Amur civilisations in a broader debate involving
Orthodox faith, “Russian culture” and cultural imperialism.



本論文試圖檢驗清廷如何構想俄羅斯文化入侵於俄羅斯帝國有爭議的阿穆爾地
區。
清廷中央對於當地民眾接受俄羅斯物質文化及習俗有所憂慮,導致他們更
容易接受俄羅斯的控制。
此外,清廷還擔心更多的邊疆本地人轉移信奉俄羅斯
東正教,從而服從俄羅斯的宗教控制。
雖然阿穆爾河盆地並不是俄羅斯東正教傳教擴展的地區,是因為西伯利亞地區早已是俄羅斯帝國的領土,但是聖彼德堡政府於當地的帝國擴張活動對於清廷仍是有深刻的影響。
清廷的官方資料以及阿穆爾地區的本地民間歷史將會作為論據,用作反映清廷對當地宗教及文化
轉型的擔憂,並且將會討論有關觀念如何影響清廷管治當地民眾的政策,特別
是鄂倫春及達斡爾族等部落。
本論文將會利用此黑龍江流域邊疆民族作為個案梳理東正教信奉及俄羅斯文化與文化帝國主義之間的脈絡。
