Civilizational Mutual Learning:Chinese Objects in Latin America
Since the Ming Dynasty,along with the opening of maritime international trade routes,the pro-gress of marine meteorology and navigation technology,and the geographical discovery and European colonial expansion,the market for Chinese objects exported to Latin America gradually expanded.Under the joint promotion of triangular trade,official trade and private trade,the exchange of artifacts between China and Latin American countries lasts for two hundred and fifty years.Mobile Chinese craftsmen and artifacts have conveyed Chinese concepts of creation,aesthetics and humanism to the Latin American people with their u-nique cultural expressions,prompting Latin American people to burst out with new artistic inspirations in the exchanges with the Chinese culture and to integrate them into their own culture with the result of creating u-nique artistic and literary stylesand expanding their living space.Chinese artifacts have injected new ele-ments into Latin American culture,promoting the diversified development of Latin American culture,and leaving an indelible mark on the process of Latin American civilization.
