Missionaries and the Beginnings of Western Music in China: the Catholic Prelude, 1294-1799
MISSIONARIES AND THE BEGINNINGS OF WESTERN MUSIC IN CHINA: THE CATHOLIC PRELUDE, 1294-1799 By Hongyu GONG Unitec Institute of Technology, New Zealand Next to the Word of God, only music deserves being extolled as the mistress and governess of the feelings of the human heart. — Martin Luther (1538)1 he history of modern China is closely intertwined with the global expansion of TChristianity.2 The Protestant movement of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries in particular, as some scholars have convincingly argued, had played an important part in China’s search for modernity.3 No other agents of Western influence managed to achieve the kind of 1 Cited in Walter E. Buszin, “Luther on Music”, The Musical Quarterly, Vol. 32, No. 1 (1946), p. 81. 2 Rather than following the accepted Chinese scheme of periodization, which starts with the Opium War of 1839, here the term modern China refers to China since the late Ming, as used in Jonathan D. Spence’s The Search for Modern China (New York & London: W. W. Norton & Company, 1990). 3 The roles played by Christian missionaries in China’s search for modernity have been studied by a number of scholars both in China and abroad.

Tracing the Bicentennial History of Oriental Studies in Lithuania
SPECIAL ISSUE: Studying THE ORIENT IN Lithuania Introduction: Tracing the bicentennial history of Oriental studies in Lithuania Audrius Beinorius Vilnius University Historiam nescire hoc est semper puerum esse CICERO This special issue of Acta Orientalia Vilnensia is dedicated to the bicentenary of the commencement of Asian studies in Lithuania and particularly at Vilnius University, which was founded in 1579 and is the oldest academic institution in Lithuania. Two hundred years is a comparatively short period, but these years have a wealthy history, especially keeping in mind that Asian or Oriental studies, as it was called at the beginning of this period, was a newly emerging academic field that has grown from a purely comparative and philological approach to recently discovered non-European cultures due to of the increasing implications of colonial aims and the imperative to manage properly those subjugated Asian counties and nations. Certainly, an integral part of this interest in Asian learning was European romantic fascination with the cultural and intellectual otherness of that area. Lithuania was not excepted from this kind of intellectual involvement. The beginning of the 19th century was a politically complicated and turbulent period in Lithuanian history. After the third and last division of the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth, between Tsarist Russia and Prussia in 1795, the Grand Duchy of Lithuania became an eastern province of the Russian Empire and formally disappeared from the world map for a more than a century. Notwithstanding, some academic institutions, including the main one, Vilnius University, continued their activities, even though under the strict control and supervision of Russian officials. -
Andrius Rudamina (Andrzej Rudomina) Vakarų Ir Kinijos Dialoge Andrius Rudamina (Andrzej Rudomina) in the Dialogue Between China and the West
Gauta 2012 12 20 LoREta PoškaItė Lietuvos kultūros tyrimų institutas andRIuS RudamIna (andRzEj RudomIna) VakaRų IR kInIjoS dIaLogE andrius Rudamina (andrzej Rudomina) in the dialogue between China and the west SummaRy the evangelical activity by the most famous Christian jesuit missionaries in China is an object of longtime scholarly investigation in the w estern and Chinese studies. However, in recent times scholars have brought to light facts about less famous missionaries and texts about their activity. this research reveals some unique yet very important details about the activity of Christian missionaries, as well as the dialogue between Christians and Confucians on the level of daily talks and between western Christians and their Chinese converts. the topic of this article is the activity of the Lithuanian jesuit andrius Rudamina (also known as andrzej Rudomina S.j., and as Lu ande 盧安德, 1596–1632), the only known Lithuanian missionary in China. It concentrates on his methods of evangelization, as revealing the politics of the „adaptation to Chinese culture“, namely, the popularization of the achievements of western science, the use of visual material (pictorial representations of the Christian doctrine in symbolical images) and the appeal to par- ticular concepts shared by Christian and Confucian adepts, such as heart in Christianity and the heart-mind (xin) in Confucianism. the investigation is based on a unique book written by the Chinese convert, Li jiubiao. It is entitled, „the diary of oral admonitions“ (kouduo richao 口鐸日抄). the diary is the only source of a.Rudamina’s talks with Chinese people about Christianity.

On February 23, 1555, Ignatius of Loyola wrote a letter to the Negus of Ethiopia, an alleged descendant of the mysterious Prester John, stating his willingness to in- tercede on his behalf to facilitate full reconciliation with the Holy See. According to historical accounts, this unfortunate Jesuit enterprise in what was then known as Abyssinia revolved around the Negus Galawdewos, Claudius, who had been appealing to the King of Portugal, John III, to defend his tiny king- dom from Muslim assaults. The Portuguese king, in turn, believing that these re- quests in fact were a loosely disguised bid to unite the African nation with the Ro- man Church, sought the help of the recently constituted Society of Jesus, asking Ignatius to select from among his brethren a suitable candidate for appointment as Patriarch of Ethiopia. The plan was that the Patriarch would be assisted in his mission by two bishops and a group of twelve other Jesuit missionaries. The exu- berance of the Portuguese king, who evidently envisioned the union of the Church of Ethiopia with the Roman Church as a giant step toward a more lasting consolidation of his colonial empire, provoked a comparable response from Igna- tius. The Ethiopian mission was in fact the only case in which the saint agreed to make such an exception to the rule which forbade Jesuits from promotion to episcopal and prelatial appointments. -
