Looking East: Reports on Western China from Ancient Greece to 1800 (volume 1)

About This Novel

This book describes ancient Westerners' understanding and preliminary knowledge of China and Chinese culture. In the ancient Greek and Roman times, Westerners had a vague impression of distant China based only on the legends of Chinese silk and fragments. In the 13th and 14th centuries, the Mongolian Empire achieved great communication between the East and the West, and travelers such as Marco Polo reported their personal experiences and impressions in China to Westerners. The great voyages and the booming Sino-European trade that began after the 16th century finally brought China into the eyes of Europeans and became an area of ​​knowledge they strived to explore.
