While Jesuit missionaries argued for China's ancient history based on astronomical records, Costard vehemently rejected these claims, labeling them as fictitious and politically motivated. He criticized the reliance on Chinese celestial observations, linking their credibility to the despotic nature of the Chinese government, which he believed compromised the integrity of historical records. This discourse reflects broader tensions between European Enlightenment ideals and the political implications of knowledge production in both China and Europe. pubtype: Periodical doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y custom: Copyright of History Today is the property of History Today Ltd. and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites without the copyright holder's express written permission.
