    ?Jiangsu Province, Jiading County.

    Here is the branch of the Society of Jesus in China, headquartered in Beijing!

    The provincial governor of the Chinese branch of the Jesuits was named Fu Fanji, and the inspector was named Ban Ande. They jointly held a special meeting.

    This is the third time such a meeting has been held.

    Over the past twenty years, the Jesuits have had different opinions. Some people agree to use God and God, while others oppose the use of God and God.  Those who agree with it think it is more conducive to preaching, while those who oppose it think that it distorts the teachings.

    ? In the first meeting, there was no result of the debate, so a compromise was adopted: God and Heaven are not allowed to be used, but God can be used.  Because God and Heaven are both Chinese words, but God was created by Matteo Ricci.

    In fact, Tianzhu also belongs to the existing vocabulary. It was the main god among the eight gods in the Qin and Han Dynasties. Qin Shihuang and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty would sacrifice to God when they enshrined in Zen. These missionaries did not read enough to understand.

    The second council, just nine years ago, allowed the use of deus and god in missionary use.

    "The Ming Dynasty has been destroyed. The emperor of the Ming Dynasty heard that he died in a peasant rebellion," said the chairman Fu Fanji. "The new country of China is called the Datong Kingdom, and the new emperor is called Zhao Han. The emperor issued an order in Nanjing to destroy some  God, Heaven, God¡¯s missionary books. Here in Jiading, it will be implemented soon, everyone express their opinions.¡±

    There were also Jesuit missionaries in Nanjing. When they got the news, they immediately returned by boat to inform the headquarters.

    The news from the Society of Jesus is faster than the official, because this is not an emergency decree, and the official is issuing documents step by step at a normal speed.

    "I said a long time ago that you can't use words such as God and God, because you have not listened to my opinion!" Long Huamin patted the table excitedly.

    Long Huamin is the successor of Matteo Ricci and has been serving as the president of the Society of Jesus in Beijing.

    After Chongzhen succeeded to the throne, he handed over the work in Beijing to Tang Ruowang, and he went to Shandong to preach.

    Six months ago, a plague broke out in Shandong. He fled from Shandong to the south and was detained when he smuggled across the Huaihe River. He was quarantined for a month before he was released.  Six missionaries who went south together died of illness and finally arrived in Jiading this month.

    Don't look at Long Huamin's opposition to the use of God and God, he is actually more conservative and stubborn.

    He believes that God and God are traditional Chinese gods, and they cannot be equated with deus and god in Christianity. Otherwise, it is a blasphemy against God and a forced submission to Confucianism!

    He also forbade Chinese believers to worship Confucius and ancestors, thinking that these are stupid superstitious activities and a complete betrayal of the true God of Christianity.

    Matteo Ricci is just the opposite, trying to integrate with Confucianism, allowing believers to worship Confucius and ancestors, thinking that using God and God is more conducive to preaching.

    Long Huamin became more and more excited as he spoke, and he stood up directly: "The Jesuits spread teachings in China. They should not follow the route of scholars, but should follow the route of common people. Chinese society is unequal and there are many slaves. I was very successful in preaching in Shandong.  , I told the common people that everyone is equal before God. Many common people have joined the religion because they want to be equal! But the scholars are high above, they don¡¯t need to believe in religion. They believe in heaven and ancestors, Confucius and Mencius, they  It is a force that hinders missionary work!"

    Fu Fanji reminded: "Perhaps, Mr. President, you just came from the north, and you don't know much about China in the south. The new emperor of China has already declared that everyone is equal. Your civilian missionary route will not work in the south. This  In the past two years, many common believers have even chosen to leave the religion."

    "Civilians quit religion? What's the reason?" Long Huamin found it hard to understand.

    Fu Fanji explained: "The new emperor announced that everyone is equal, farmers can share their land, and urban people can settle down. Whether in cities or in rural areas, the lives of the people have become higher. Especially the common people in the countryside, they all have land. There is not enough land.  Those who were divided were also immigrated to the north to divide the fields. So they broke away from religion, and they no longer prayed to God, but worshiped the emperor at home."

    "Worshiping the emperor?" Long Huamin thought he heard it wrong.

    Fu Fanji sighed: "Yes, many farmers worship the emperor as a god."

    Ban Ande, a long-term inspector sent by the Holy See, interrupted the conversation between the two and reminded: "The two priests, the topic to be discussed today is whether to destroy all missionary books immediately. Also, the new emperor of China has already  Negative image of the Jesuits, we should send someone to contact the Emperor of China."

    Long Huamin said: "It is necessary to destroy missionary books and reprint them. I have always disagreed with the use of God and God, which really violates our teachings! If the new emperor of China believes that everyone is equal, I can go to see him in person  , may be able to persuade the emperor to join the religion."

    "You are crazy, it is impossible for the emperor of China to join the religion."?Hua Min persevered and continued, "Your Majesty, do you know where people come from?"

    Zhao Han said: "I don't know where people come from, but I know where you come from. This morning, I consulted my cabinet ministers, and it turns out that you have been famous for a long time, and you are the chief culprit who caused the Nanjing religious incident."  If you dare to stop Chinese believers from worshiping ancestors, believe it or not, I will directly announce a nationwide religious ban like Emperor Wanli!"

    "Don't dare!" Long Huamin replied quickly, sweating on his forehead in fright.

    Zhao Han said: "Stay here and help Qintianyuan to revise the calendar together. I will not give you a salary, and I will not stop you from preaching, but you are not allowed to preach in public. I will formally notify the Jesuits. Once Christianity is found to be in violation  According to the Chinese custom, the imperial court immediately expels all missionaries!"

    "Yes." Long Huamin bowed cautiously.

    Zhao Han said again: "If possible, call Tang Ruowang from Beijing.?
