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

About This Novel

This book describes the arrival of a large number of European missionaries in China in the 17th and 18th centuries. They went deep into Beijing and other cities in China, had close contact with the Chinese scholar-bureaucrat class, and gained a relatively in-depth understanding of Chinese culture. They wrote a large number of letters, reports and books, translated Chinese cultural classics, and widely introduced Chinese culture to the West. In particular, their introduction to Confucius's Confucianism greatly inspired the European intellectual community and became an important ideological resource for the ongoing Enlightenment Movement.
