阿尔让侯爵是法国伊壁鸠鲁主义的一个重要人物，其主要作品《中国人信札》集中对欧亚文化、特别是儒家文化和基督教文化进行审视和比较。由于阿尔让所创设的这些中国游历家双重的文化背景，双重的文化身份与文化视角，使得《中国人信札》在很多方面呈现为一部“审视他者”、“反观自我”的文化游记或比较文化著作。作品中的中国游历家，无疑是阿尔让本人的代言者，他们的视角和观照，都真实地转达作家对中法文化、社会和哲学的比较和看法。%Marquis d’Argens is an important figure in Epicureanism in France, whose major work, Chinese Letters, provides a survey on, and comparison between, European and Asian cultures, particularly Confucian culture and Christian culture, a work, in many ways, that is a cultural travelogue or work of comparative culture because of the dual cultural backgrounds, dual cultural identities and cultural perspectives created by d’Argens for the Chinese travellers. The Chinese travellers in his work, undoubtedly spokespersons for d’Argens, provide the author’s comparison between, and view of, Chinese and French cultures, societies and philosophies through their own perspectives and views.
