Features: Matteo Ricci came to China with the mission of spreading the gospel, but his greatest success in China was not in the cause of Christianity, but in the cultural exchange between the East and the West. The Western learning that flowed eastward with concrete content and a systematic framework began with him, opening the door for Chinese intellectuals to learn about modern science. The Eastern learning that flowed westward with practical significance and great influence was also pioneered by him. Later famous representatives such as Leibniz and Voltaire were deeply influenced by him.
