Chinoiserie, the vogue for Chinese-style interior decoration, furniture, porcelain and textiles that swept Europe in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, has sometimes been explained as blatant imitation of Chinese products, as freely creative art with China as its inspiration, or even as the product of commercial protectionism aimed at keeping Chinese exports out of contemporary markets.
流行於十七、十八世紀歐洲室內設計、傢具、陶瓷和紡織品的中國風格，有人說它是中國貨的「仿冒品」；有人說它是以中國為靈感的自由創作；還有人認為它是當時為「抵制中貨」而興起的保護主義產物。
