在16世纪中叶至17世纪中叶的“南蛮学时代”里,由耶酥会教士等传入日本的西方科技、文化和一般知识形式构成了南蛮文化,包括教育,医学,天文历法,语言、文学,艺术等方面。南蛮文化使日本人第一次与中国文化圈以外的西洋人接触,扩大了日本人的视野,刺激了日本人的求知欲,使其西洋观开始发生潜移默化的改变。 In the Southern Paleolithic period from the middle of the 16th century to the mid-17th century, Western science and technology, culture and general knowledge imported into Japan by the Jesuits and other Japanese formed the Nanban culture including education, medicine, astronomy, language , Literature, art and so on. The Nanban culture touched the Japanese for the first time with western peoples outside the Chinese cultural circle, expanded Japanese horizons, stimulated the thirst for knowledge of the Japanese, and began to change its subtle influence from the western perspective.
