摘要

One of the most important characteristics that differs sixteenth to eighteenth centuries China from its previous period is the introduction of Western culture, predominantly brought mainly by Catholic missionaries and the uninterruptible cultural exchanges. Though there were limitations to these exchanges, they opened a new era for Chinese people to contact with and understand the outside world, to learn the advanced scientific and technological knowledge, and to infuset richer and fresher elements in cultural exchanges along the Belt and Road. It thus initiated a process of close and profound cultural interaction in Sino-Western countries, which foreshadowed the all-round social transformation in China after the first Opium War and laid the foundation for the original but essential historical basises.
