Prefaces and Postscripts in Juejiao tongwen ji: An Encounter of Ming Literati and Christian Doctrines
This article discusses Ming literati's reception of Western learning by analysing prefaces and postscripts composed for Jesuit publications before 1615, which were collected in the Juejiao tongwen ji 絕繳同文紀 (‘learning from a distant land common to cultures’, JJTWJ, 1615). It first examines these texts and their authors, then explores how the missionaries’ character traits convinced literati of the unity of knowledge and action. Late Ming literati …

The China Mission in the Early Seventeenth Century: The Link between Higher Administration and On-the-Ground Missions
Adopting an accommodationist strategy with a positive attitude, the mission in China had a breakthrough when Matteo Ricci reached the Ming Court in 1601. Valentin Carvaglio’s Lettre de la Chine de l’an 1601 reports on this historical moment and testifies that the Jesuits’ intelligent, discreet, and humble presence under the guidance of the policy was an effective strategy. However, after Ricci’s death, the high profile adopted by the mission and …
Portuguese Macao Border Delimitation in the Late Nineteenth and Early Twentieth Centuries: Territoriality, Sovereignty and Negotiability
This article discusses the Macao boundary question, a significant diplomatic issue between China and Portugal from the 1860s to the 1920s. It analyses the various obstacles that prevented the delimitation of the Macao border requested by the Portuguese from taking place. Lack of documentary evidence to support the Portuguese's occupation of Macao, the domestic opinion, and local commercial interests of Xiangshan County, Guangdong, constituted ess…
The Alleged Jesuit-Led Rebellion in 1606: Missionary Conditions in Early Seventeenth- Century China
In early 1606, the Chinese in Guangdong Province mobilized militarily upon learning that the Jesuits in Macau were rising up in an attempt to occupy China. However, the incident did not develop into persecution of the missionaries and was quickly put to an end with the restoration of the Jesuits’ innocence. The peaceful resolution of the alleged Jesuit-led rebellion shed new light on the rich yet complex missionary conditions in early seventeenth…
French Perceptions of Macau as Place and Space in the Nineteenth and Twentieth Centuries
Using eyewitness accounts by some French writers who sojourned in Macau during the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, this article investigates Macanese history from French perspectives. Attention is given to history, culture, and literature within writers’ interpretations. A distinct feature of Macanese history in this period is a story of the conflict between changed and unchanged, glory and decline, temporariness and timelessness. Imbue…
A Partial Picture: Nineteenth-Century China in the Eyes of a Fan-Koueï
This study examines the representation of China in La Chine ouverte: aventures d’un Fan-Koueï dans le pays de Tsin (1845). Pretending to be an expert on China, the author provides a panorama of Chinese society in the late Qing. Yet, this is a fictional travel account, as the author did not set foot in China. Thus, its representations are based either on second-hand knowledge or imagination. Along with literary and visual representations, one find…
The Octagonal Pavilion Library of Macao: A Study in Uniqueness
Privately owned by the Macao Chamber of Commerce, the Octagonal Pavilion Library was the first free Chinese library service as well as the most used Chinese public library in Macao from its establishment in 1948 until the late twentieth century. With a total surface area of 1,130 square feet, it is possibly the smallest library in the world. Despite its diminutive size, its educational and cultural impact on the community make it unique. Its rela…
