Abstract:Chen S.Y. was one of the earliest contemporary Chinese scholars specializing in the history of Sino-Western cultural contact in the 18th Century, but few people knew about his contribution in academic circles until recently. In the early 1930s, he has written a few important papers concerning various topics, including the spread of some traditional Chinese literary works, such as The Orphan of Zhao and Hau Kiou Choaan in the West; the great explorer, Robinson's view on Chinese culture; and how the art of traditional Chinese garden influenced the Western aesthetics. His research findings have had a profound impact on the development of modern comparative literature in China. This article explores Chen S.Y.爷s academic experience and significant academic achievements, hoping to establish his pioneering status in the field of earlier Sino-Western cultural contact.
