Jesuit mission and submission : Qing rulership and the fate of Christianity in China, 1644-1735 / by Litian Swen.
Includes bibliographical references and index.

Jesuit Mission and Submission' explains how the Jesuits entered the Manchu world after the Manchus conquered Beijing in 1644. Supported by Qing court archives, the book discovers the Jesuits? Manchu-style master-slave relationship with the Kangxi emperor. Against the backdrop of this relationship, the book reconstructs the back and forth negotiations between Kangxi and the Holy See regarding Chinese Rites Controversy (1705-1721), and shows that the Jesuits, although a group of foreign priests, had close access to Kangxi and were a trusted part of the Imperial circle. This book also redefines the rise and fall of the Christian mission in the early Qing court through key events, such as the Calendar Case and Yongzheng's prohibition of Christianity.

本書以紅票作為敘事切入點， 圍繞清初皇室特別是康熙帝與湯若望、南懷仁為代表的北京傳教士群體之間的互動，抉出了一段中國與西洋深度接觸的往事。 進入中國的西洋傳教土， 與中國各階層有著廣泛的接觸， 上至皇帝高官、下至販夫走卒， 他們的交往交織若文化碰撞與私人恩怨，糾纏著國際競爭與內闈宮鬥。 作者精讀中西文獻， 細加論證， 在諸如清初歷獄、中西禮儀之爭、雍正禁教等熱點問題上均有原創性見解， 並對流傳巳久的＂閉關鎖國”“朝貢體系”“文明衝突” 等歷史論調提出了質疑， 是一本學術性與通俗性兼具的佳作。

This book takes the Red Manifesto as the starting point of the narrative, and centers on the relationship between the imperial family in the early Qing Dynasty, especially during the reign of the Kangxi Emperor, and Beijing missionaries such as Adam Schall and Ferdinand Verbiest. The Western missionaries who entered China had a wide range of contacts with all social levels, from emperors and officials to peddlers, and their interactions were intertwined with cultural clashes and personal grudges, and entangled in international rivalries. On the basis of Chinese and Western literature and sources, the author carefully examines hot issues such as the Calendar Case in the early Qing dynasty, the dispute between Chinese and Western rituals, and the Yongzheng’s ban on Christianity. This book challenges theories about China as a “closed country,” the “tribute system,” the “clash of civilizations” and other historical frameworks both for academic and popular audiences.

Privileges for being slaves: Christian missionaries in the early Qing court / by Litian Swen.
Thesis (Ph.D., History)—-City University of New York, 2019.
Bibliography: p.244-257.

This dissertation works to elucidate the long-term confusion over the identity of the Christian fathers in the early Qing court. The identity for which this dissertation argues is straightforward: Christian fathers were identified by the Kangxi emperor as his family slaves. The master-slave relationship has long been overlooked because it was overshadowed by an overwhelming focus on the Jesuit Adam Schall, who entered the Manchu court as a Chinese-style minister. Shifting the focus from Schall, this dissertation starts by showing two seldom mentioned Jesuits, Ludovico Buglio and Gabriel de Magalhaens, who entered into Manchu service as slaves. It was, this dissertation shows, not Schall but Buglio, Magalhaens, and the network they built through their slave status that set the foundation for future Jesuits’ successful participation in the Manchu empire. With the master-slave relationship between Kangxi and the Christian fathers established, the fourth and fifth chapters examine Kangxi’s receptions of the two papal legations as family guests instead of as foreign embassies of state.
The identity of the Christian missionaries, this dissertation shows, determined both rise and fall of the Christian mission in the Kangxi and Yongzheng’s reigns.
