Church, state, and history : the last Jesuit higher education institute in China / Jiang Youguo 姜有國 and Tian Weishuai

"This book explores the history of the Tianjin Institute of Higher Studies in Industry and Commerce, the last Jesuit higher education institution in China. Founded by French Jesuit missionaries in 1921, the institute played a crucial role in the educational and cultural exchange between China and France during a transformative period. The authors detail the institute's foundation, development under various political regimes, and its integration into the Chinese national education system after 1949, highlighting its influence on Chinese modernization and the unique cross-cultural collaboration it fostered. Through meticulous research, Youguo Jiang, S.J., and Weishuai Tian provide an insightful narrative of the institute's challenges and achievements. The book examines the broader context of Catholic and Protestant missionary activities in China, offering a comprehensive look at the interplay between religion, education, and politics. This work is essential for scholars of Chinese history, religious studies, and educational development, as well as those interested in the legacy of Jesuit education in China."

Abstract:

This study explores the complexities of mission-state and church-state relations from a micro-level perspective, asking how the missionaries, teachers, and pupils at the Lutheran Middle School in Hunan Province negotiated conflicting claims on church membership and national citizenship. However, Hunan is not a microcosm of modern China. When dealing with nationalism in a Hunanese context, it is sometimes more accurate to speak of Hunanese nationalism rather than Chinese nationalism. This micro-level case study sheds light on the general trends of changing mission-state and church-state encounters, but it also emphasizes unexpected expressions of local Christianity in a context that has not so far been given much scholarly attention.

Abstract:

A growing number of Protestant missionaries engaged in vernacular education in the late nineteenth century. To meet the demands of the new era, Christian church education faced challenges not only in its curriculum design but also in the way it presented new knowledge. Previous studies have focused on church education at the tertiary level while overlooking the elementary level. This article discusses vernacular church education and vernacular textbooks at the elementary level in the late Qing, with specific reference to Youxue baoshen yaoyan 幼學保身要言 (The Human Body for Children). It argues that the demand for spreading new knowledge urged Protestant missionaries to compile vernacular textbooks and present Western knowledge in the local settings. Vernacular church education should be regarded as the precursor of indigenous education proposed by the late Qing Court. The local dialect, Cantonese in this case, bridged the linguistic gap between new terms and children’s cognition and became an effective means of presenting new knowledge. Vernacular textbooks had an unparalleled significance in the cultural sphere of dialect writing, since the language of textbooks could drastically influence the writing and reading habits of the young generation and further influence people’s attitudes towards dialects and dialect literature.
