Abstract

Chinese culture can be considered to have had little influence in Spain, despite the direct contact between these two nations from the 16thcentury onward. This article outlines the grounds for the convergence and divergence, as the initial contact promised a deeper interaction than what took place. Among the latter grounds for influence, some literary themes stand out which ended up becoming clichés in the literature of the Spanish Golden Age and in subsequent European literature, and which reflect the course of Chinese influence in the West.
