Abstract

AbstractBy the Qing Dynasty, many physics toys had been introduced to China through Jesuit missionaries and trade though new physics knowledge had not been introduced on a large scale in China. For “recreational instruments” that were originally used in Europe to “inspire the youth to conduct research of natural philosophy” or to induce a viewer with extra interest to explore their causes and make them always remember the effects of these reasons in the Qing Dynasty, only one person really responded as intended: Zheng Fuguang. Despite the development of physics in China in the Qing Dynasty, the fermentation of scientific knowledge triggered by European optical toys was just a wishful thinking.KeywordsToysPhysicsIntroduction of Europe physics toys into ChinaInfluence
