As the third section of Zhaoran gonglun (115R, Ash Wednesday 1846: 25 February), criticizes this instruction, it dates before February 1846.

上下兩卷.

"Reprint" (chongyin 重印).

Lead movable-type print (huoban 活版). Illustrated.

Author's preface dated 1886 (Guangxu 12).

Joachim Kurz, "The Works of Li Wenyu (1840-1911)," Wakumon 11 (2006), 153 (item 21) writes "date of first edition unknown." Kurz classifies our copy as 2nd ed. There was a 3rd ed. in 1920.

The library copy has annotations on the inside wrapper written on red slip: "Gao Pu, baptismal name Paul, from Ningyi" 寧邑洗名保祿高譜. This is followed by a series of Suzhou numerals (Suzhou ma 蘇州碼), which we have been unable to decipher. The inside wrapper also has the title in ms., followed by more Suzhou numerals and, in different ink, "For use by Paul" (Baolu yong 保祿用).

This is a devotional and theological work that explains the significance, structure, and spiritual value of the Rosary in the Catholic tradition. Written in classical Chinese, the book serves as both a catechetical guide and a meditation manual, integrating traditional Catholic teachings with Chinese literary and philosophical expression. The first part explores the origins of the Rosary, the meanings of key prayers like the Our Father and Hail Mary, and offers moral stories about the Rosary’s spiritual power—such as miracles, protection from disaster, and moral reform. The second part is a 31-day meditation plan, guiding the faithful through the Joyful, Sorrowful, and Glorious Mysteries of Christ’s life. The work reflects early efforts to localize Christian theology in China, making it accessible to Chinese converts by blending Western religious content with Chinese cultural forms.
