AB - The European Latin Biblical civilization, or Western learning, began to be transplanted to East Asia in earnest during the Ming and Qing Dynasties (16thto18thcenturies).ItwastheCatholicJesuitmissionarieswhoenteredChinaatthetimewhowerethemainplayersinestablishingthisintellectualnetworkbetweentheEastandtheWest.Inparticular,theAccommodation of the Society of Jesus, which was created by Jesuit missionaries, was developed both in conjunction with and in antagonism with the traditional concept of heaven(天). In other words, Accommodation Heavenly Studies is composed of the transformation and expansion of the Confucian concept of heaven(天) for the monotheistic and personal God of Christianity. In this way, the propagation of Western culture to China by Jesuit missionaries has nothing to do with interests or conflicts between countries, unlike the Western imperialism or Orientalism that has been seen since the modern era, and was a relatively pure cultural clash and process of convergence. In this regard, this paper analyzed and examined the reaction of Chinese Confucian and Buddhist intellectuals following the introduction of Western religious thought (Heavenly Studies) in the late Ming and early Qing, focusing mainly on the critical currents, anti-Christian literature and its controversy. This type of discourse provides a useful historical basis and theoretical model for understanding the conflict between Eastern and Western civilizations, microscopically the antagonism and junction of two cultures, or the East Asianization of Christianity behind it– that is, the tolerance of the recipient (China) and the accommodation of the propagator (missionaries).
