This compilation employs interdisciplinary perspectives to explore the historical interactions between central Europe and China. It presents a comparative cultural analysis of issues related to language, literature and culture, scientific traditions, conceptions of the law, economic, social and political systems, values and philosophical foundations. These historical analyses also develop perspectives for future Chinese-German collaboration.
