Abstract

Abstract

Since the sixteenth century, when Chinese culture first encountered Western culture, Chinese culture has been spreading beyond the area of East Asia. After being translated into European languages by European missionaries, ancient Chinese culture has exerted a significant influence on the development of Modern European thought. In this paper, the worldwide significance of Chinese culture is illustrated from the perspective of relations between the Enlightenment and Chinese culture. This paper clarifies the translation, interpretation and acceptance of the Chinese classics and ancient Chinese culture in the European Enlightenment, revealing the universal significance of Chinese culture.
