  • This is the story of China’s enduring search for order through the mastery of time.
    Matteo Ricci, a young Jesuit would be the first European to enter China at the end of the 16th century. Trained in geometry and algebra, he would soon discover that cosmology and the art of measuring time was at the very centre of Chinese civilization and imperial authority, the Emperor’s Mandate of Heaven.
    Over a century, three Jesuits would fight for power in the Forbidden City. Through dramatic historical recreations and unparalleled access to the world’s time labs, The Empire of Time brings to life the story of how China’s enduring pursuit of perfect time brought East and West together.
    Modern astronomers, science historians, and time scientists draw on fascinating parallels between past and present, from 16th century astronomical contests to modern time-keeping labs and the satellite-driven race for time-data superiority. An epic tale of science, imperial history and intrigue.

    One of my favorite artist is the Jesuit missionary, Giuseppe Castiglione otherwise called Lang Shih-Ning. He was the court painter for 3 of the Ming emperors.
    The Jesuit missionaries at the time Castiglione came to China, about a century after Rocco were more or less servants of the reigning emperor. Their technology skills were used to support him, but they weren’t allowed to convert any Chinese. To convert to Christianity was death with the loophole that those already converted could maintain their own religion, but didn’t have churches.

      @盧璘壽로인수 Год назад +2

      because the actual Chinese name 紫禁城 literally translates to *"Purple Forbidden City-fortress"*
      紫 refers to Polaris (the North Star), and in Chinese astrology the area around Polaris (including both Dippers, Camelopardalis, Scorpio, & Boöted) was considered the heavenly realm of the Jade Emperor. Hence, the Forbidden City is considered the earthly realm of the Jade Emperor, in this case the Son of Heaven (天子, ergo the Emperor of China)
