Foreword. The Mongolian World
Litian Swen, Jesuit Mission and Submission
The Protestant Missions to South-East Asia
The relationship between the Anglo-Scottish Ultra-Ganges Mission and the Dutch missionaries in South East Asia, both missions based at Batavia and at Melaka (Malacca), could be described as “distant but cordial” – even during times of colonial conflict – but the same cannot always be said about the internal conditions of the British mission. This article will attempt to place the relationship between the Anglo-Dutch missionary enterprises into a …

Western Missionaries in Modern China
Western missionaries working for the proselytization of Christianity during the early twentieth century were predominantly representatives of a new worldview that put scientific objectives on a par with the aim of converting the Chinese to their faith. Conventional wisdom stipulates that the 1920s brought about a sea change in public attitudes, transforming the missionaries' perceived role in China, as well as in the colonized world, into "agents…
Rolf Gerhard Tiedemann (1941–2019)
紀念狄德滿 (Rolf Gerhard Tiedemann, 1941–2019)本文紀念著名的中國史研究學者和倫敦大學亞非學院的狄德滿教授。他不幸於2019年8月去世。狄德滿教授1941年出生於德國北部鄉村。隨著他1960年代移居美國,又在1970年代移居英國,他也踏上研究中國歷史的學術之路。現代學界關於基督宗教歷史的研究應歸功於狄德滿教授。事實上,藉著他的出版作品,他促進了這一研究領域的建設並將其作為中國學研究層面充滿活力的學科。早期,狄德滿教授就已將傳教修會的檔案看作彌足珍貴的信息資源,並向其他漢學家引介。他是中國鄉村天主教和新教傳教研究以及義和團運動方面的專家。退休后,狄德滿教授與中國義和團研究大師路遙教授和山東大學的劉家峰教授一起合作陶育下一代的研究人員。狄德滿教授留下的長久遺產是博睿出版的⟪中國基督宗教手冊——第二卷,1800年至今⟫,他編輯並貢獻了近一半的詞條
Mårten Söderblom Saarela, The Early Modern Travels of Manchu
To say that the publication of a book is overdue is no uncommon occurrence; to say that a long-awaited book has finally been written by a highly capable author does not happen every day.Although the contribution of the Manchus to late-imperial China has been studied with renewed vigor since the discovery of new archival sources in the 1990s, there has been no book devoted exclusively to the gestation, cultural interpretation, and eventual fate of…

Carol Benedict, Golden-Silk Smoke
Against a backdrop of ever more stringent anti-smoking legislation in Europe and in North America, China has crystallised as the only major market promising a bright future for the tobacco industry. Yet, as Carol Benedict's new book shows, tobacco clearly also has a long history in China. Golden-Silk Smoke provides for a densely argued narrative, often almost encyclopaedic in nature. Exhaustive and well-illustrated, both through anecdotes and a g…

Narcotic Culture
The book analyses the influence of medicinal and recreational drug consumption in China from the late Ming period (c.1600) to the fall of the Republic on the Chinese mainland (1949). It questions the assumption that opium (and later semi-synthetic opiates) were responsible for the military and political weakness of China during much of the the 19th and 20th centuries, pointing to patterns of social consumption which provided for stability and eco…
Memories of Faith
Drawing on official documents filed at the First Historical Archives in Beijing, and on missionary correspondence located at the Archivio storico ‘de Propaganda Fide’ in Rome, this paper will focus on printed manifestations of popular Christianity during the mid-Qing period. It will argue that, following the exclusion of foreign missionaries after the imperial edict of 1724, tendencies towards inculturation accelerated. Early nineteenth-century s…
