In 1577, when the renaissance was in full bloom, the world was captivated by the beauty of Italy. A young Jesuit missionary called Matteo Ricci (1552-1610) quietly left the hustle and bustle of Rome, and finally arriving in Ming dynasty China began his journey spreading the Catholic doctrine. He had no official rank, but was able to convince those in positions of influence; he had no power, and yet influenced a reform of China’s calendrical system. |
