中华文明在欧洲的传播起到了推动欧洲转化为资本主义的作用。我举个例子，在18世纪中期的英国，因为中国的墙壁纸价格很贵，不是一般人可以用得起的。因此，以墙壁纸代表的中国的艺术风格与爆发户 ，即富人的炫富联系在一起。著名诗人为我们留下了这个事实“一个普通的公民总是谈论他的中国装饰“。就是说追求中国的艺术风格与公民追求财富连着一起。此外，中国的墙壁纸在纺织工人看来也威胁到他们的工作。总结一下，就是输入的中国文化对欧洲的社会转型起到了推动作用。下图是1750年广州生产的墙壁纸。现存于伦敦维多利亚和艾伯特博物馆。

The spread of Chinese civilization in Europe played a role in promoting social transformation into capitalism in Europe. Let me give you an example. In the mid-18th century in Britain, the Chinese wallpaper was not affordable for ordinary people because it was very expensive. Therefore, the Chinese art style represented by wallpaper was associated with the nouveau riche, that is, the rich showing off their wealth. The famous poet left us this fact "an ordinary citizen always talks about his Chinese decorations." That is to say, the pursuit of Chinese art style is associated to the citizen's pursuit of wealth. In addition, Chinese wallpaper also threatened the jobs of textile workers. To sum up, the imported Chinese culture played a role in promoting the social transformation of Europe. The picture below shows wallpaper produced in Guangzhou in 1750. It is now in the Victoria and Albert Museum in London.
