Under the heading of Rococo it shows the influence of Chinese porcelain, lacquer, silk, embroideries, wall-papers, painting (especially on Watteau), and agriculture. It traces the influence of Confucius on Leibniz, Voltaire, the Encyclopaedists, and others; the derivation of Quesnay's theories from the Chinese doctrine of the State; the adoption of the Chinese garden and its effects on water-colour painting. A full chapter is given to Goethe and his Chinese sources; while the conclusion describes the waning of interest in things Chinese, and the increased interest in European antiquities and in India.'.
