What summary did China traditional culture make in Ming and Qing Dynasties?

Ming and Qing Dynasties entered the period of summing up China's classical culture.

(1) In the aspect of ancient books, we collected, verified and appraised the cultural relics of ancient books, and compiled large dictionaries such as Yongle Dadian, Integration of Ancient and Modern Books, Kangxi Dictionary and large series of Sikuquanshu.

(2) In terms of classical science and technology, there have been scientific and technological masterpieces. Li Shizhen's Compendium of Materia Medica reached the advanced level in the world at that time. Xu Guangqi's Encyclopedia of Agricultural Administration not only records the summary theory of domestic agricultural production experience, but also introduces the farmland water conservancy technology in Europe. The Song Dynasty's Heavenly Creations recorded the production technology in the late Ming and early Qing Dynasties, and it is a world-renowned technical encyclopedia, and so on.

(3) In terms of academic culture, scholars in the periods of Ganjia and Jiaqing in Qing Dynasty made unprecedented arrangement and textual research on China ancient documents.

Western learning spread to the East: In the late Ming and early Qing Dynasties, Matteo Ricci, Tang Ruowang and other European Jesuits came to the East. They not only brought European religious theology to China people, but also widely spread the achievements of modern natural science and technology and the Western Renaissance in China academic circles, which opened the eyes of some people in China. At the same time, he brought China's outstanding cultural achievements back to the motherland and made outstanding contributions to the inheritance and development of culture. This way of cultural exchange is called "Western learning spreading to the east".
