Abstract With the arrival of missionaries in China in late Ming period, Chinese literati began to learn European science and religion. In order to promote the study of Western learning, some Chinese scholars developed and expressed their attitudes towards Western science. Several of these arguments were taken up and further developed by scholars in early Qing period. This paper analyses the origin of the theory of Retrieving Lost Rites from Barbarians (li shi qiu ye) and its transmission in its social and cultural context, hoping that it might be of help for one to understand the attitudes of Chinese literati towards Western learning as a whole.
