In the late 17^th century, Temple, a British ambassador to the Netherlands, obtained the knowledge of Asia, Asian products and related information in the Netherlands, which served as another approach to spreading Chinese culture and products in the West besides the work of Christian missionaries. The first-hand and second-hand knowledge and products from India, Japan and Batavia also became ingredients for Temple's garden aesthetics. The way in which Chinese garden perception came to the U.K. is closely related to the global trading network established by Netherlands, a European country of Protestantism. The earliest spread path formed a "History of Three Kingdoms", that is, Japan, Netherlands and then the U.K.. Because of his wide knowledge about foreign countries and his great influence in the academic circle, Chinese garden perception that Temple spread transcended the scope of garden building and triggered the "Chinese heat" in the U.K. in the 17^th century and continuously influenced the Romantic turn in English literature.
