| 英文摘要 |
“We suspect that after [Verbiest] came to the East, he consulted ancient Chinese books and modeled [his work] after them, accordingly modifying his theories, something we do not need to prove in concrete detail. If we compare what is recorded in the book with what is reported by traveling merchants, such information will not turn out to be all false, and although it has been embellished, it will not be completely fictitious. It is certainly fine to preserve and broaden our knowledge of strange things.”(Siku quanshu zongmu tiyao, 1795 ed., j. 71, Kunyu tushuo) |
