Xu Guangqi, born in 1562, Shanghai, was an official of the Ming dynasty (1368–1644) and a pioneer in the cultural exchange between China and the Western world. Once studied with Matteo Ricci, a noted Italian Jesuit missionary in China, Xu became the first Chinese person to translate European books on mathematics, hydraulics, and geography into Chinese. Among them the most famous translation was Euclid’s Elements (Jihe yuanben), which exerted a great influence on Chinese mathematics.
Xujiahui in Shanghai is the hometown of Xu Guangqi. It was originally named Fahuahui, but later changed its name to Xujiahui, literally “property of the Xu family at the junction of rivers”, in memory of Xu Guangqi. The tomb of Xu is now located in Guangqi Park on Nandan Road in Xujiahui. In the park, you will see Xu’s statues, a corridor of stone inscriptions as well as a marble cross erected by the Catholic Diocese of Shanghai in order to commemorate this most influential Chinese convert to Christianity at that time.
