608. Chinese Porcelain Wares in Colonial North America

So far, among scholars, that the general knowlede about the popularity of Chinese porcelain ware in North American colonies was that only those wealth colonists could use the wares. However, the recent archaeological discovery shows that certain slaves owned Chinese porcelain wares. It might be a special case, for the special relations between the slaves and her master. It might be too early to make the conclusion that Chinese porcelain wares were widely used by slaves. But the findings allow us to say that Chinese porcelain wares were not strange to certain slaves. Thanks to the archaeological work, we have furhter understandings on the popularity of Chinese porcelain in the colonial north America.

Eventually China and the Founding of the United States: The Influence of Traditional Chinese Civilization, entered Italian Book Market. This a kind of interesting. I still remebmer that many years ago I was invited to deliver a lecture in Rome. I talked about Benjamin Franklinb and Confucian moral philosophy. I was surpried at seeing so many professors, graduate and undergradate and students came to listen to my lecture. Roman civilzation is one of the sources of the modern Western civilization. Italian may rarely think that Eastern civilization has had any influence on the formation of the west civilization. They wanted to find out what I would make my case of the impact of Confucian ideas on the making of modern West civilization. Below is the snapshot of the Italian book seller, that promotes this book.
