Looking East: Reports on Western China from Ancient Greece to 1800 (volume 2)

About This Novel

This book describes the Sino-European trade from the 16th to the 18th century, when a large number of Chinese goods, represented by silk, tea, and porcelain, came to Europe, improving and enriching people's daily lives. The reports about China by missionaries and travelers, and the contribution of scholars, further stimulated Europeans' enthusiasm for China. The popular Chinese taste in life and the fashion of pursuing Chinese goods formed a widespread "Chinese style", which affected many fields of European society and had a great impact on Europeans' aesthetic taste, arts and crafts, painting art, garden art, etc.
