Matteo Ricci's Memory Palace
by I
About This Novel
When the Age of Discovery had just begun, Matteo Ricci tried to use mnemonics to open the door to China and change this unfamiliar culture. The Chinese followed him through the halls, admiring the pictures, stepping into the depths of the memory palace, toward the theological symbol represented by the symbol of the cross. Eight memory fragments of Matteo Ricci miraculously survived to this day, four Chinese characters and four paintings of biblical stories. It is through these accidental remains that Shi Jingqian cleverly built a complete picture of the intersection of two great civilizations. We can also enter the memory palace created by Matteo Ricci and watch him sometimes be determined and sometimes confused in the unknown world.

This book also uses the history and memory of Europe and the United States as a door-knocking image. In this way, it is like opening a new door for us to move towards a better world.
Another explanation of the history of Europe and the United States is found in this book. It is understood in a wonderful way and uses real cases, which greatly enhances the credibility. Isn't it the icing on the cake?
Shi Jingqian must be familiar to everyone. In terms of his contribution, it is really full. He is a good example for everyone. He should understand and take it seriously from his own perspective.
