a wise man

The Kangxi Emperor banned Christianity in China, saying:

Westerners are trivial; how could they understand Chinese great philosophy? in addition, no Westerners know Chinese classic. Their discussions (to Chinese philosophy) are ridiculous. In my perspective, the missionary's talk is same as those heretic Buddha monks, Taoists, and other superstitions. The (knowledge of) Westerns are no more than this (the missionary's talk). We could simply forbid them from spreading their religion in China, for the sake of avoiding troubles.

只說得西洋人等小人，如何言得中國人之大理？況西洋人等，無一人通漢書者，說言議論，令人可笑者多。今見來臣告示，竟與和尚道士異端小教相同。彼此亂言者，莫過如此。以後不必西洋人在中國行教，禁止可也，免得多事。
