Huang Wanhua, Zhang Lianqiao


Abstract: Zhang Xiping, a professor at Beijing Foreign Studies University, a specially-appointed professor at Beijing Language and Culture University, and a doctoral supervisor, is the honorary chief editor of “International Sinology”. His research mainly focuses on the history of Sino-Western cultural exchanges, the study of early Western Sinology, and the overseas dissemination of Chinese culture. He has authored several books, including An Introduction to the Research on the Dissemination and Influence of Ancient Chinese Cultural Classics Abroad in the 20th Century, Wandering Between Chinese and Western Cultures: A Self-Selected Collection of Academic Works by Zhang Xiping, Interwoven Cultural History: A Draft History of Early Missionary Sinology Studies, An Introduction to the Study of the Westward Spread of Confucianism in Europe: The Trajectory and Impact of the Spread of Chinese Learning in the 16th-18th Centuries, and Benoît de Joinville: A Messenger of Sino-Western Cultural Exchanges. Professor Zhang Xiping’s book Benoît de Joinville: A Messenger of Sino-Western Cultural Exchanges uses solid historical materials and a broad perspective to restore the life of Benoît de Joinville, a messenger traveling between the two civilizations, and also provides a vivid sample for understanding the early cultural interaction between China and the West.
