“本書根據1919年 重刊本辯學遺牘 編輯整理”--P. 1 (2nd group)

“ .... Several catechetical and theological writings take an apologetic stand: they explain Christian doctrines while exposing the difference from Confucianism, Buddhism, or Taoism. Some works were solely devoted to this topic such as the Bianxue yidu 辯學遺牘, attributed to Ricci and postumously published (ca. 1623), which refuted the criticism expressed by the lay Buddhist Yu Chunxi 虞淳熙 (js. 1583, d. 1621) and the monk Zhuhong 祩宏 (1535-1615).--Cf. N. Standaert, Handbook of Christianity in China, v.1, p. 616-617.

Bianxue yidu 辯學遺牘
By Li Madou 利瑪竇 (Matteo Ricci) and others.
One juan in one volume. Chinese bamboo paper. Second edition by the Xishizhai 習是齋續梓本. No date or place of publication.

The cover has a label with the title in Chinese with a Latin inscription: “Dialogus inter patrem Riccium, et doctorem sinam de falsis sectis, metempsychosi, etc.”

Part 1
Yu Chunxi (d. 1621, zi 長孺, hao 德園, posthumous name 澹然) was a native of Zhejiang. He passed his jinshi examination in 1583 and later became a minister in the Civil Ministry. He left behind a collection of writings in 60 juan under the title of Deyuan ji 德園集. As a devoted Buddhist he was not pleased with the Tianzhu shiyi 天主實義 of Ricci (Jap-Sin I, 44–47). He therefore wrote a letter advising Ricci to give more time to the study of Buddhist scriptures instead of going against Buddhism, which “might lead to the ruin of Christianity [literally: the Holy City].” His letter was polite and elegant. Accordingly, Ricci replied in the same tone, though he showed his firm determination throughout the letter:

I am confronted with a difficulty. Undoubtedly Buddhist scriptures are numerous and those who study them are also many. But our sacred writings and books on history and philosophy of the true religion are perhaps double the number of Buddhist writings. They have not been translated [into Chinese] and, being alone without disciples, I am not in the position to do it. Under these circumstances, as your letter puts it, one might face complete destruction, if one tries alone to go against one thousand. [But I must confess] that this destruction would be due to a failure of physical strength and not because of lack of reasoning. What I now suggest is, let us put aside the idea of who is going to win or to lose, and let some of your countrymen help [me] to translate [our] books. The translations need not to be as copious as those of the Buddhists; perhaps one or two percent. With these translations in hand one could then start to debate. If after the debate I am found in error, I should be ready to admit that Christianity is a failure. Now, as you would say, one must not launch an attack on Buddhism, if one is not familiar with Buddhist scriptures, I would reply, in the same spirit, that one who does not understand Catholic writings should not criticize Christianity [literally: how can you ruin our Holy City?]. I will make an attempt to study Buddhist writings in order to compare [it with our religion]. But is it not up to you to make an investigation of Catholic teaching so as to find out what it is all about? It is of great importance for us and for the generations to come to distinguish the truth itself from the unorthodox doctrines and I beg you to pay heed to my words.

Though he worships the Lord of Heaven, in reality he has no conception of Heaven. . . . According to him the Lord of Heaven is a being without form, without color or sound. One can then only conclude that Heaven is nothing more than [pure] reason. But how can [pure reason] rule its subjects, or promulgate laws, or reward and punish? He [Ricci] may be an intelligent person, but he has never learned the scriptures of Buddhists; what could be expected but that his doctrine would be wrong.

Hence I am most willing to carry out a debate . . . , otherwise what is evident will remain obscure. . . . But there should be order in a debate, the debaters must be governed by reason. No one should bring up wrong traditions in his arguments; that would be to believe in hearsay rather than to follow reason, and that seems childish and would be to no point.

Lienchi (Zhuhong) changed from a Confucianist to a Buddhist, and Deyuan (Yu Chunxi) was a profound scholar on the writings of Buddhism. Both were leaders of Buddhist followers in southeast China. Their belief was very different from the teachings of Mr. Li (Ricci). Reading now these letters in which they carried out their discussions, it gives the impression that they respected one another highly. Each tries to expound his learning with sincerity in the hope that the truth may appear. Unfortunately they never came to a conclusion. How regrettable that within a short period they all passed away. Had they had the opportunity to come together to discuss their knowledge freely and to propose their difficulties as open-minded philosophers, they would certainly have exhausted the subject without reservation of their talent. This might have brought to light hidden points and subtle ideas which undoubtedly would be of great enlightment to the ignorant. How lamentable that this never came to pass.
I received this manuscript accidentally from a friend of mine, and once more my old sentiments revived. I therefore decided to have the manuscript published in the hope that the memories of these venerable persons will not diminish throughout the years. However, I must confess that I am not the person to decide upon the quality and the orthodoxy of their learning.

This book is included in the Tianxue chuhan 天學初函 which was published by Li Zhizao in 1629 (Chongzhen 2). There is a reprint made from wooden blocks by the Lazarists in Peking (Catal. 1924, no. 88). The text has also been reprinted in mobile characters in 1915 by the Dagong Bao 大公報 periodical (Tianjin). Four years later, in 1919, Ying Lianzhi 英斂之 had it published in Peking with prefaces by Chen Yuan 陳垣 and Ma Liang 馬良 (Ma Xiangbai 馬相伯). According to the preface of Chen Yuan, the letters in this book were not written by Ricci himself, but by his followers after his death. Li Zhizao’s postscript, however, makes us think that Ricci was the author. Perhaps the drafts were done by one of Ricci’s friends; or the ideas may have come from Ricci and been put into writing by a Chinese scholar.

Da ke wen 答客問.
By Zhu Zongyuan 朱宗元.
One juan. Chinese bamboo paper in one volume. No date or place of publication.

The cover bears the title with a Latin inscription: “V. RR [vera responsa] ad quaesita a licentiato christ. Chu çum yuen.”

In the Zhengshi lüeshuo (Jap-Sin I, 145) Zhu Zongyuan says of the Da ke wen: “What I could express by words of mouth, I would not spare my insignificance. I was prone to arguments and [as a result] I published the Da ke wen . . .” (cf. Hsü 1949, p. 156). According to the preface of Lin Wenying the author wrote this book when he was 23 sui. It deals with the teaching of the Catholic Church and presents apologies against false religion. Lin Wenying has high praise for the zeal of the author of this book, saying that he was a great worshipper of the Lord of Heaven and that he was eager to communicate his knowledge of God to others. “The readers, therefore, need not think unjustly that this book deals with learning from the West; rather they should realize that it deals throughout with the religion we Confucians should embrace; since this religion is a practical one, its doctrine agrees with ours and [even] its mental attitude, in general, is the same as ours.”

According to the preface, new printing blocks were being prepared for the Da ke wen by Mr. Su 蘇先生 around the year 1697. This makes us think that he was José Soares (1656–1736), whose Chinese name was Su Lin 蘇霖 (zi 沛蒼).
The Yin Xian zhi 鄞縣志, compiled in the Kangxi period, gives the biography of Zhu Zongyuan, who was a native of this district (Ningbo 寧波, Zhejiang). He was a tribute student (gongsheng 貢生) of 1646 (Shunzhi 3). Two years later he obtained the juren degree. We are told that he was learned and an accomplished essayist.
Antonio de Gouvea in his Asia Extrema speaks of a young scholar who was baptized in Hangzhou by Manuel Dias Jr. and took the Christian name Cosmas. Later he returned to his native Ningbo and invited the missioners to come to evangelize the people there. His mother also was converted to the faith. In the letters of missioners Zhu Zongyuan is often named Cosmas, which seems to identify him with the young man baptized by Manuel Dias. In 1640 there were 560 neophytes, according to Colombel (vol. I, p. 323), among whom were three brothers of a Zhu family that came from a gentry class. Their Christian names were: Peter, Cosmas, and Mathias. Cosmas seems to have been the second of the three brothers. Besides writing the above mentioned books, Zhu Zongyuan seems to have given much help to the missioners in their writings. So he polished the style of Qingshi jinshu 輕世金書, the Chinese translation of the Imitatio Christi, made by Yang Manuo 陽瑪諾 (Manuel Dias Jr.) and published in 1640 (Chongzhen 13). He also wrote a preface for another book by Manuel Dias, namely, the Tianzhu shengjiao shijie zhiquan 天主聖教十誡直詮 (A straightforward explanation of the Ten Commandments of the holy Church of God). Zhu Zongyuan was also one of the revisers of the Tianxue lüeyi 天學略義 written by João Monteiro 孟儒望 and published in Ningbo in 1642 (Chongzhen 15) and of the Tizhengpian 提正篇, written by Girolamo de Gravina and published in 1659 (Shunzhi 16). The Tianzhu shengjiao huoyi 天主聖教豁疑, a booklet in less than a thousand characters, bears Zhu Zongyuan’s name as its narrator and that of Qu Dude 瞿篤德 (Stanislao Torrente, 1616–1681) as its reviser.

" ... His final work, Daiyi xupian (1635, posthumously published) treats the question of Orthodox Transmission: supposing that the foreign teaching is equally orthodox as Confucianism, is it then necessary to adhere to it? Daiyi xupian is not only a defense of Christianity, it is an indirect apology of the Confucian tradition in reference to Christianity..."--Cf. N.

"The present dissertation offers a re-examination of the late Ming Jesuit writings in Chinese from a literary perspective ... finds that the connection between Jesuit works and literature is made through the medieval ars praedicandi, whose particular logic of proofs actually finds its fountainhead in such rhetoricians as Aristotle, St. Augustine, and Alan of Lille.... the Ming Jesuits "transwrite" a variety of medieval exempla from Latin and, possibly, Greek sources in their apologetical and evangelical works in Chinese... The focal point of the present study is the Greco-Roman type of the Jesuit sermon stories ..."

"Sequel to the Chinese Christian Texts from the Zikawei Library is edited by Nicolas Standaert, Ad Dudink and Wang Renfang. In line with earlier collections, it reproduces not yet known or not yet published texts which were originally co-produced by Chinese and Europeans. These prints and manuscripts revive the early contacts between China and Europe in the seventeenth and eighteenth century.

The present collection of 34 volumes includes 84 titles from the Zikawei (Xujiahui) Library in Shanghai. Two of these titles cover already 14 volumes: Zhang Xingyao’s 張星曜 Tianjiao mingbian 天教明辨 and Louis de Poirot’s translation of the Old (incomplete) and New Testament. The remaining 82 titles cover a wide range of subjects such as Bible texts, Christian explanations of the Book of Changes, apologetics, history of religion and science, and include unique or rather rare titles, for example Jingyi tang zhi 敬一堂誌, Renlei yuanliu 人類源流, Chongxiu jingyun 崇修精蘊, Lü Liben 呂立本 Yijing benzhi 易經本旨, Shang Huqing 尚祜卿 Bu Ru wengao 補儒文告, Lu Xiyan 陸希言 Yishuo 億說, and Chen Xun 陳薰 Xingxue xingmi 性學醒迷.

The purpose of this publication of precious works is twofold: to protect the ancient documents against damage and decay as well as to make these unique documents open to researchers in order to encourage new research. In this way, the editors hope to contribute to the protection and conservation of this cultural heritage."--Publishers note.
