My son peered into the michelleqiao@ telescope and asked what the shanghaidaily.com bearded grandpa was looking at with it. This is no ordinary grandpa. Xu is often called the “Francis Bacon of China” or “the first Chinese who opened his eyes to the world” and the downtown area of Xujiahui is named after him. He was born in Shanghai in 1562, living in an era when interest in practical science was declining in China. In 1600, on a trip to Beijing, Xu met the Italian Jesuit missionary Matteo Ricci and converted to Catholicism. Ricci was a Renais- sance man of his time and shared his knowledge across a spectrum of science and humanities sub- jects with Xu. Together, they translated several ancient Western texts, most nota- bly part of Euclid’s “Elements,” into Chinese. Xu became a scientist and scholar in his own right. He set up Western astronomy instru- ments in Beijing, experimented A corridor paved with old tiles with cultivation of sweet potatoes featuring a mosaic of crosses in Shanghai to feed the starving, — Zhang Xuefei helped organize self-sufficient military settlements in Tianjin and authored many books on practical science, from agriculture and hy- draulics to the significant “Chong- zhen Almanac.” When he died in 1633 in Beijing, Michelle Qiao Xu held minister-level positions It (the Xujiahui and was buried in farmland in very year, nearly 100 couples take what was then western Shanghai. convent) attracted their wedding vows in a domed His descendants eventually settled Chinese women hall atop a Shanghai restaurant in there.
