abstract

In the eyes of European travellers, missionaries and merchants who visited China in modern times, the city of Suzhou seemed very similar to Venice ever since Matteo Ricci S.J. (1522-1610), in the 16th century, explicitly established a kinship between the two cities in his memoirs. This continuous comparison led to the collective and protracted formation of a legitimate palimpsest in which Suzhou was repeatedly described as the Chinese Venice.
