| Popis: | Isusovca Mattea Riccija (1552-1610) duboko poštuju i suvremena Kina, i Katolička crkva. Kina ga slavi kao prvoga donositelja i širitelja važnih znanja sa Zapada i prijatelja, a Crkva kao apostola Kine, koji se nošen ljubavlju prema dušama posve posvetio širenju kršćanstva u toj zemlji. Njegovim je posredovanjem došlo do prvoga pravog susreta i međusobnoga upoznavanja kultura Zapada i Dalekoga istoka, i to u ozračju prijateljstva i poštivanja. Kinu je Ricci upoznao s duhovnim vrijednostima kršćanstva i europske kulture, ali i s matematičkim, astronomskim i geografskim spoznajama i tehničkim dostignućima Zapada. S druge strane, Zapadu je Ricci otkrio dotad neznanu, bogatu i raznovrsnu drevnu kinesku kulturu, posebice etičko nasljeđe konfucijanizma. U naše vrijeme, kad se Kina sve snažnije uključuje u svjetska zbivanja i istodobno vraća svojim korijenima, pozitivno vrjednujući konfucijansku baštinu, a Zapad je u krizi identiteta, Matteo Ricci, kineskim imenom Li Madou (利玛窦), osoba je koja nam ukazuje na međusobno prijateljstvo među svjetovima različitih kultura kao put k zajedništvu, koje sve obogaćuje. The Jesuit Matteo Ricci (1552-1610) is deeply held in respect by both contemporary China and the Catholic Church: China celebrates him as the first to bring and spread important knowledge from the West and also as a friend; the Church, as the apostle of China, who, borne by love for souls, totally devoted himself to the spreading of Christianity in China. Through him as intermediary, the first true encounter and mutual acquaintanceship between the cultures of the West and Far East occurred in an atmosphere of friendship and respect, at that. Ricci acquainted China with the spiritual values of Christianity and European culture, but also with knowledge from the fields of mathematics, astronomy and geography as well as the technological achievements of the West. On the other hand, Ricci revealed to the West the hitherto unknown, rich and diverse ancient Chinese culture, particularly the ethical heritage of Confucianism. In our time, as China becomes increasingly involved in world events, while returning to its Confucian roots, and as the West suffers an identity crisis, the persona of Matteo Ricci, or Li Madou as he is called in China, gives testimony to the fact that mutual friendship between worlds of diverse cultures is the path toward a communion which enriches all. |
