In how many centuries and years was photography introduced to China?

By the way, in the forties of 19, photography was not popular in China at first. At that time, people were superstitious and thought it was a kind of witchcraft that could absorb people's souls. Later, Cixi discovered photography and used it extensively, which changed people's ideas and began to accept cameras. What needs to be added is that Cixi likes to let others paint for herself most in her life, but Cixi is very particular about painting, and she can't agree with the general painting. Later, when he discovered this technology, he felt that the photos he took were exactly the same as his own, and they were very vivid, so he had the above things, and photography spread in China.
