Abstract

Names of translation·Rites Controversy of Society of Jesus is caused by a gap between ‘cultural adaptation’ and ‘conservative gospel’ in dialogue between Christianity and confucianism. While Matteo Ricci( , 1552~利瑪竇 1610) developed prudent indirect missionary work focusing on ‘cultural adaptation’, Nicolas Longobardi(龍華民, 1556~1654), pioneer of ‘line of gospel of common people’ in Society of Jesus implemented optimistic direct missionary work focusing on ‘conservative gospel’. The fact that missionary work lines of Matteo Ricci and Nicolas Longobardi became mature based on experience of missionary work in ShaoZhou, Guangdong, China deserves special mention. Above all, to Longobardi experience of ‘missionary work’ in ShaoZhou served as important spiritual resources that led Ricci’s line to focus on common people. In addition, experience of ‘missionary work’ in ShaoZhou had an influence on formation of view of Confucianism which was different from that of Ricci . Anti Ricci thinking was stimulated from a sense of gap between him and speculative ‘rationalized’ faith of Confucians which he faced during missionary work in province before he served as moderator in Beijing. To put it more accurately, experience of missionary work for common people in terms of spiritual theology which was implemented in ShaoZhou required a Confucian believing in God to have spiritual purity of pure gospel. Names of translation, conservative rites line and direct common people indigenization movement which were set forth in an extension of experience of missionary work are representative examples of ‘non-adaptation policy of Society of Jesus’. This paper represented a process which conservative theology of Society of Jesus which is still left as unexplored area began and developed centering on early Longobardi line, namely ‘missionary work for spirituality of common people in ShaoZhou’.
