The article examines the influence of Goldsworthy Lowes Dickinson's work, *Letters from John Chinaman*, on modern Chinese intellectual discourse during the early twentieth century. It highlights how Dickinson's writings, which critiqued Western materialism and militarism while idealizing Chinese civilization, were received in China, particularly through an incomplete Chinese translation published in 1911. Although *Letters* was not widely known in China at the time, it provided a framework for Chinese intellectuals to engage with national identity and cultural debates, particularly during a period marked by Western aggression and internal strife. The article argues that Dickinson's portrayal of Chinese civilization contributed to the discourse surrounding the moral merits of Chinese culture and the clash between Eastern and Western civilizations, influencing figures like Gu Hongming and shaping the narrative of China's modernization efforts.
