Abstract

The aim of this thesis is to compare and analyse what kind of Chinese language Jesuit and Protestant missionaries learned and understood for their missionary activities in China. Selecting Ruggieri and Ricci for the Jesuits and Morrison and Medhurst for the Protestants, what they valued, Mandarin or dialects of Chinese, and the reason and methods for learning them will be described in this thesis. Through this thesis, it was found that while the Jesuits focused on Mandarin and Literary, the Protestants focused on dialects from each region of China in addition to Mandarin and Literary. The reason for this tendency were cited by the Jesuits as Chinese, which Chinese people could teach to foreigners, as a tool for persuading the ruling class, and the unique origins of Chinese language learners among the early Jesuit missionaries. Protestant was analyzed for more active learning than the Jesuits, increased contact with the civilian population rather than the ruling class through active missionary activities, and differentiation of missionary areas by various denominations and missionary organizations. The biggest difference in learning Chinese between Jesuit and Protestant missionaries is whether or not they had in mind the learning of Chinese dialects.
