望远镜与西风东渐
Yu Sanle
Four hundred years ago, in 1610, an Italian priest Matteo Ricci died quietly in Beijing; it was also the same year that an Italian scientist Galileo used the world's first astronomical telescope he made to observe the sky. By connecting two seemingly unrelated things, religion and science, between two Italian scientists and priests tens of thousands of miles apart, and by connecting Catholicism with telescopes, the story to be narrated in this book is deduced.
