After all they are, and have been for several centuries, intimate partners in the business of building a world civilization. The technological world of today is a product of both East and West to an extent which until recently no one had ever imagined. It is now time for the Chinese contribution to be recognized and acknowledged, by east and West alike. And, above all, let this be recognized by today’s school children, who will be the generation to absorb it into their fundamental conceptions about the world. When that happens, Chinese and Westerners will be able to look each other in the eye, knowing themselves to be true and full partners. Robert Temple, The Genius of China, 1998, p. 12 如果世界上的国家和人民相互间有更清晰地了解就更好了，就能在东西方之间的 认知鸿沟上架起桥梁。总之他们是，而且几个世纪以来一直是，建造一个世界文明的 紧密伙伴。今天的技术世界是一个东西方合作的产物，直至最近尚无人 能想象得到它的发展程度。现在是东方和西方都该认识到并了解中国的贡献的时候了。 而且，最重要的是，要让今天学校里的孩子们认识到这一点，他们这一代人将把这些 知识吸收到他们对世界的基本认知里。 当这个实现了后，中国人和西方人才能平等相看，认识到他们是真正的全面的伙伴。 Robert Temple， 《中国的天才》1998，
