Conflict and Interchange among Civilisations

by Lin Meicun

Description

This book discusses questions pertaining to the conflict and interactions among Ming China, Catholicism of the West and Islam of the Middle East during the Age of the Great Voyage. For instance, the author will inquire in this book the first landing place of the Portuguese, historically named Tamao Island. Where is the center for global trade in the 16th century, historically named Liampo port? How was the porcelain of Jindezhen shipped to Europe, and what kind of impact Chinese porcelain had on the 16-17 century Europe? Based on, but not limited by, archaeological discoveries, this book fully examines the economic and cultural communications between China and the other civilizations during the Age of the Great Voyage.
