摘　　要： 中西交流是以地理知识的沟通揭启序幕的,但来华传教士所带来的西方地理新知识,往往难以一时被中国古代士人所接纳。其中诸多细节,体现了两种不同文化间的差异与冲突,例如中西关于"四海"的诠定。中国古代文献记载中的"四海"从传统的经史体系而来,是以中国为中心的天下意识。而在利玛窦、艾儒略等传教士的地图和著述中,"四海"从西方的航海大发现而来,用来唤醒中国古代士人的世界意识。两者之间的冲突与矛盾,反映了中西交流的曲折历程。 Although Chinese-Western communication was preluded by the communication of geographic knowledge,the new knowledge of Western geography brought by missionaries coming to China was often difficult to be accepted by ancient Chinese intellectuals for a short while,among which many details reflected the differences and conflicts between two different cultures,for example,the interpretation and definition of“the whole world”(Sihai)between them.The“SiHai”in the records of ancient Chinese literatures from the traditional system of classcis and history was a China-centred idea of“tianxia”,while the“SiHai”in the writings by missionaries Western navigational discoveries was used for awakening the world idea.Both conflicts and contradictions is a winding course in the experience of Chinese-Western communication.
