Abstract

With the advent of the Age of Discovery, cultural, economic, and intellectual exchanges between the East and West experienced their first peak, during which the fusion of East and West cultures was based on economic exchange and commercial interaction.

The Age of Exploration also brought about the exchange of knowledge and technology between different cultures. The Portuguese and Spanish brought back knowledge of new plants and animals, which were then studied and cultivated in Europe. The Chinese introduced the printing press to Europe, which revolutionized the way books were produced and disseminated.

we can conclude that from the Age of Discovery to the Millennium, there have been many waves of cultural exchanges between the East and the West, and the positive effects are mainly to promote the dissemination of knowledge and technology, the development of science and art, the rise of the nation-state and international relations, the diversity and inclusiveness of values, and the process of globalization.
