Abstract
The meeting and interaction between two cultures is a dynamic process of creative transformation. The entrance and subsequent penetration of the Indian-Buddhist culture into Confucian China in the Han and Tang dynasties produced fundamental changes in the Chinese society and had profound impact on Chinese thought and behavior. The coming of the Nestorian and Catholic missionaries from Central Asia and Europe in the eighth and sixteenth to seventeenth centuries, respectively, also sent shock waves throughout the Chinese intellectual and social world, resulting in a re-evaluation of traditional Confucian culture and the emergence of new ideas and new cultural forms. The latter part of the latter movement the Confucian response to Christian culture as introduced by the Jesuit missionaries is treated in this paper.
