Answer from: GhostBoooty

Ricci states this in his work History of the Introduction of Christianity to China:

"So as not to occasion any suspicion about their work, the fathers [i.e., the Jesuits] initially did not attempt to speak very clearly about our holy law. In the time that remained to them after visits, they rather tried to learn the language, literature, and etiquette of the Chinese, and to win their hearts and, by the example of their good lives, to move them in a way that they could not otherwise do because of insufficiency in speech and for lack of time."

So he then wrote,

So he said about his Chinese friends,

"He treated the affairs of our fathers as if they were his own and our fathers in turn treated his as if they were ours."

What we get here is that through Matteo Ricci's journey as a Jesuit priest in a foreign land, he crossed cultural barriers and from this 1. he found that the Chinese had a rich culture much more respectful and bountiful in ancient knowledge and 2. he also found that the Chinese are unlike the Westerners in how they kindly accepted the Jesuits into their land to teach them about Christ and in return the Chinese taught the Jesuits language, ancient culture and both ancient and modern knowledge. The Europeans were and still are much more harsh on accepting foreign peoples and cultures.

Does this sound good? hey great britain, we need to talk. we’ve been through a lot these past couple of years and i don’t think that i would’ve made it this far without you but, i think it’s time that i tried to. don’t get me wrong, i think you’re a pretty great country! you’re smart, you’re funny, you're rich, and very dominant but, these past couple of years you’ve been a little too dominant. as each year goes by you become more and more self-absorbed. you’re only concerned about your own well-being. for example, when we get into arguments you always raise the taxes on paper and tea prices; it just isn’t fair. not only are you selfish but, you always want your buddies around. it’s not very fun cleaning up after you and your british soldiers (you guys never put the toilet seat down). they’re always popping up unexpected, and you always force me to let them stay for a couple of days. not to mention how irresponsible you are. i don’t like it when you force some of your responsibility on me. it’s not my fault that you got yourself into another war so, why should i have to pay for it? listen, in the beginning, what we had was good but, you and i aren’t so compatible anymore. i think it’s best if i took some time to be independent and think for myself for once. -yours truly, the states
