“…To je bila nova pot, ki ni odprla le menjave dobrin, temveč tudi kulturno in idejno menjavo, pa tudi seznanjanje z drugo religijo. Nekateri izmed evropskih misijonarjev katoliških misij so postali astronomi, inženirji ali slikarji na cesarskem dvoru (Martínez-Robles, 2008). Ob zahodni ekspanziji se je Kitajsko začelo dojemati kot velikanski trg, ki »ponuja večje možnosti za trgovino kot kateri koli drug del sveta« (Foster, 1948: 100).…”

“…The Jesuits' interpretation of the West to China, and vice versa to their royal sponsors back home, was a positive and friendly one. This was done to justify their work, which eventually resulted in the so called 'Rites Controversy' which led to the dissolution of the Society of Jesus by Pope Clement XIV (Martinez-Robles 2008).…”

“…In the new intellectual dispensation conformism became passé. The long unchanged Chinese cultural ecosystem, hitherto represented as that society's cultural stability, now came to represent entropy (Martinez-Robles, 2008).
