Features: This book showcases the complex process of mutual perception, understanding, imagination, and even misinterpretation between China and the West over two thousand years. The image of the other country, whether Chinese viewing the West or Westerners viewing China, is not only a genuine reflection of foreign civilizations but also a product of the host culture reorganizing and reflecting itself according to its traditional models. Therefore, it can both reflect the characteristics of foreign civilizations and embody the spirit of the host culture. In the 21st century, Sino-Western exchanges are undoubtedly deeply influenced by this historical impression.
