Project Introduction

Since ancient times, the interaction between China and the outside world has never truly been severed. In the process of Sino-foreign interaction, on one hand, the Chinese nation has participated in the advancement and development of world civilization; on the other hand, the external world has profoundly influenced the rise and fall of Chinese civilization. Therefore, the interaction between China and the world is a question worth exploring. This project is based on the course of China and the world, focusing on the theme of Sino-foreign exchange and interaction, particularly examining the relationship between China and the outside world during the Ming and Qing dynasties. It aims to guide learners to explore the consequences of China's closure and openness towards the outside world, ultimately generating a scholarly argumentative essay.
