Abstract:
The paper discusses the images of China from their earliest appearance in European sources of information
about the empire (known as Cathay and also as the land of the Seres) up to the end of the nineteenth century.
It traces the development of these images through the centuries and examines how they have changed in
accordance with the varying ways in which the representatives of the West have looked upon the world.
Special attention has been given to the cyclic nature of image creation. The individual authors have been
grouped in several sections discussing the different periods of communication and interaction.
Keywords:
