史景遷的中國縱橫：漢學巨擘的治學脈絡與文化探索
「他的每一本書我都有！」這是台灣歌手——#伍佰——談論到漢學家史景遷時，難掩興奮地表示。2005年史景遷來台訪問，也舉辦了簽書會，當時最令社會大眾感到驚訝的，是歌手伍佰的現身，原來愛好閱讀的伍佰，自己就是史景遷的頭號書迷，伍佰表示「史景遷的作品有很浪漫的氣氛、很迷彩」，鍾情於史景遷的歷史寫作筆法，伍佰還說：「他的書讓我看了覺得我很渺小，也很偉大。」兩人在2005年的合影，也成為了史學界和出版界的經典一幕。
史景遷已於2021年逝世，享壽85歲。這一本《中國縱橫》，是精選史景遷25篇短篇作品的選集，除了史景遷個人寫作研究領域相關的題材之外，也包括了他的學思歷程和治學脈絡，是史景遷唯一一本短篇文選。
本篇文章為收錄在《中國縱橫》、由史景遷撰寫的引言。
「我把此文集稱作我的 Chinese Roundabout，一部分係出於對華萊士．史蒂文斯（Wallace Stevens）的敬意——長年以來他一直是我生活的一部分——但也因為我很喜歡「roundabout」這個詞。這個詞意在表示曲折繞道而行，但如此前行時有明確目標。
這個詞也意在表達欲以某種邏輯使從四面八方往同一點駛來的諸多交通工具井然有序的作為（至少在英格蘭，這個詞意同美語的traffic circle／圓環）
最重要的，由於它也有「旋轉木馬」之意，它使小孩子，也就是未來的學者，想起雙膝緊夾住彩繪木馬，為防跌落雙手緊抓住馬頭，頭猛往後仰，在令人暈眩的旋轉中大笑的情景...」
