metadata.value: From the sixteenth century to the eighteenth century, in an effort to introduce and develop
  Christianity in China and Vietnam, Western missionaries, especially the Jesuit missionaries,
  found an effective way to realize this purpose: to use European scientific and technological
  achievements in order to satisfy the curiosity of kings, mandarins and intellectuals as well
  as their desire to learn new knowledge, thereby hoping to successfully attract the said social
  forces to follow the way which created a unique phenomenon: Christianity gradually entered
  the hearts of two nations of China and Vietnam along with the process of receiving Western
  scientific and technological achievements in these two countries. In particular, astronomy was
  one of the most typical fields. The article thoroughly analyzes means of introducing and results
  of receiving Western astronomy in China and Vietnam from the sixteenth century to the eighteenth
  century on the basis of the original historical data and studies by Chinese, Vietnamese
  and international scholars as well the application of historical research methods combined
  with comparative study methods. It elucidates the similarities and differences in the process
  of receiving Western astronomy in these two countries and contributes to the scholarship on
  the history of East-West cultural exchange in China and Vietnam in the sixteenth, seventeenth
  and eighteenth centuries.
