25、
The Forbidden City turned 600 years old in 2020. Over the last six centuries, there have been many cultural exchanges inside the high walls of the world’s largest palace.
Ancient China had little contact with the outside world until Matteo Ricci made his way to the imperial court (皇室) during the Ming Dynasty.
Ricci made contributions to the fields of science and astronomy(天文学) in China. He worked together with Chinese scientist Xu Guangqi to translate the first six books of Euclid’s Elements into Chinese. He also brought new knowledge about map making and taught people that the world was round with the first European-style world map in Chinese.
Lots of foreigners followed in Ricci’s footsteps. Giuseppe Castiglione, also known as Lang Shining, was one of them. The talented painter was sent to China to work for a church in 1715 and was later invited to the imperial court to produce paintings for the Qing Dynasty’s Emperor Kangxi.
When serving in the imperial court, Castiglione designed many murals(壁画) in the Forbidden City using techniques that were popular in Europe. From then on, a new style of painting appeared in China. It combined Western realism with traditional Chinese ways of painting.
The first Westerners to the imperial court also provided firsthand reports to Europe through their letters, notes and books about China. They made the West realize there was a country with great culture which was different from theirs. Their stories are just a small piece of the cultural communication between China and the outside world. But they show that the Forbidden City has provided a bridge for the communication.
