The First Reception of Chinese Literature and Culture in Romania

Abstract

Although the bilateral diplomatic relations between China and Romania have 65 years, the communication and cooperation in the fields of education, science and technology, culture and politics have a long history. And what’s more there is a traditional friendship between the Romanian and Chinese people. When we talk about the first reception of Chinese literature and culture in Romania, we can’t forget one important person-Nicolae Milescu Spatarul and his contribution. In this paper first I will talk about the brief introduction of the relationship between Romania and China, and then I will focus on Nicolae Milescu Spatarul and his famous books Jurnal de călătorie în China, Descrierea Chinei.Jurnal de calatorie in China.
