History of Exchanges between China and the West
About This Novel
The middle and lower reaches of the Yellow River are the core areas for the formation and development of Chinese civilization, and it gradually spread. The relative independence in physical geography plays an important role in the stability and sustainable development of Chinese civilization, but it has never been closed. There are continuous exchanges with the Buddhist culture of South Asia, the Islamic culture of West Asia and North Africa, and the Christian culture of Europe to the west. Zhang Qian's passage to the Western Regions in the Han Dynasty, the gathering of religious culture from the Western Regions in Chang'an during the Tang Dynasty, the establishment of a great empire across Asia and Europe in the Yuan Dynasty, and the arrival of Western commercial and religious forces from the east in the Ming and Qing Dynasties were the four major climaxes of cultural exchanges between China and the West. This book traces the footsteps of our ancestors and tells the historical process of the exchange, collision and mutual nourishment between ancient Chinese civilization and Western civilization through records and cultural relics such as King Mu of Zhou Dynasty's Western Tour, Monk Tang's Journey to the West, Genghis Khan's Western Expeditions, and Zheng He's Voyages to the West.
