Christian dialogic writings flourished in the Catholic missions in late Ming China. This study focuses on the mission work of the Italian Jesuit Giulio Aleni (Ai Rule , 15821649) in Fujian and the unique text Kouduo richao (Diary of Oral Admonitions, 16301640) that records the religious and intellectual conversations among the Jesuits and local converts. By examining the mechanisms of dialogue in Kouduo richao and other Christian works distinguished by a certain dialogue form, the author of the present work aims to reveal the formation of a hybrid ChristianConfucian identity in late Ming Chinese religious experience.By offering the new approach of dialogic hybridization, the book not only treats dialogue as an important yet underestimated genre in late Ming Christian literature, but it also uncovers a selfother identity complex in the dialogic exchanges of the Jesuits and Chinese scholars.Giulio Aleni, Kouduo richao, and ChristianConfucian Dialogism in Late Ming Fujian is a multi-faceted investigation of the religious, philosophical, ethical, scientific, and artistic topics discussed among the Jesuits and late Ming scholars. This comprehensive research echoes what the distinguished Sinologist Erik Zrcher (19282008) said about the richness and diversity of Chinese Christian texts produced in the 17th and 18th centuries. Following Zrchers careful study and annotated full translation of Kouduo richao (Monumenta Serica Monograph Series, LVI/1-2), the present work features a set of new findings beyond the endeavours of Zrcher and other scholars. With the key concept of Christian-Confucian dialogism, it tells the intriguing story of Alenis mission work and the thriving Christian communities in late Ming Fujian.

About twelve years ago, I became interested in the great encounter of China and the West in early modern history, and I decided to focus on the intellectual exchanges between the Jesuits and late Ming Confucians as the main theme of my Ph.D. dissertation. A popular Chinese saying states, It takes ten years to sharpen a sword, and so was my personal experience in carrying on this ten-year-long project. Despite many challenges and delays, I was able to make major revisions in the draft manuscript and put some of my recent research findings in the chapters. After accumulating a lot more evidence, knowledge, and insights on this subject, I am more convinced than ever that the key terms discussed in this book, such as dialogism and dialogic hybridization, are on the right track towards a broader vision for cross-cultural studies in the future. The book in its present form already offers a comprehensive, up-to-date study on Kouduo richao and dozens of Catholic dialogic works from early 17th-century China. While these examples will generate a better understanding of the two-way flow of words, beliefs, and experiences through Sino-Western exchanges during the late Ming, I believe the new paradigm proposed in this book can also contribute to methodological advances in future research on the entanglement of religiosity and secularity, individuality and collectivity, and orthodoxy and diversity in the midst of contacts between cultures.
I cannot help but remember my earlier studies at the University of Southern California, where I received abundant support from teachers and friends to set out on this exciting but mostly unaccompanied exploration. First and foremost, I would thank Dominic Cheung, my academic advisor, for having spared a tremendous amount of time to help me go through the writing of my dissertation. Without his meticulous guidance, it would have been impossible for me to finish the project on time and pass the oral defense with distinction. I am also indebted to John E. Wills Jr., Alvin Rudisill, and Bettine Birge, who provided insightful comments and suggestions for my research.
Towards the later stage of my doctoral research, I had the opportunity to participate in the 2005 Dissertation Workshop sponsored by the Association for Asian Studies. A dozen young scholars presented cutting-edge studies, from which I learned to enhance the interdisciplinary outlook of my own project. I also benefited from the critical comments from David Szanton, Laura Hostetler, and other senior scholars in this productive exchange.
In 2006 and 2008, the Ricci Institute for Chinese-Western Cultural History, University of San Francisco, offered financial support in my visits to its archival collection. Some key sources in this book come from these research trips. My special thanks go to Wu Xiaoxin, Antoni erler, and Mark S. Mir for their friendship and continued support of my early academic career. In fact, my first study of Alenis works and Jesuit print culture in Fujian drew inspiration from their initiative in organizing the 2010 international symposium on early missionary printing in Asia and the Americas.
In addition, the revision of this book was facilitated by the Hsu Long-sing Fund, which I received soon after I began to work at the University of Hong Kong in 2008. The Fund enabled me to visit several major Chinese Christian archives in Europe and Taiwan, where I could access and reproduce a number of important sources. I would like to express my gratitude to the Faculty of Arts for such timely support.
While working on this book in the past few years, I have benefited enormously from the exchanges with a number of scholars. Nicolas Standaert and Adrian Dudink are well-known experts in European Sinology. They not only provided abundant information on different kinds of primary sources and secondary studies (e.g., the online CCT Database), but they also offered detailed answers promptly to my questions. Eugenio Menegon inspired me with his expertise on Fujian Catholic communities in late imperial China. When I worked for the China on Paper Exhibition (2007) at the Getty Research Institute, Los Angeles, Marcia Reed and Paula Dematt gave me useful advice on scientific and artistic exchanges between late imperial China and early modern Europe. Roman Malek and Zbigniew Wesoowski, the former and current Editors-in-chief of the Monumenta Serica Institute, Sankt Augustin, likewise offered valuable comments on my research, and they showed great patience and professionalism in guiding me to get my first book published with their Institute. I am also thankful to my American colleague Nicholas M. Williams for his timely support in proofreading of the manuscript and clarification of the key concepts in my arguments.
A broad range of primary sources, both textual and visual, are used in this book. I therefore express my deep gratitude to the staff of Chinese or Asian collections in many libraries and institutes, including Kenneth Klein of East Asian Library, University of Southern California; Valentina Longo of Biblioteca Nazionale Centrale, Rome; Robert Danieluk of Archivum Romanum Societatis Iesu, Rome; Gianfranco Cretti of Centro Studi Giulio Aleni, Fondazione Civilt Bresciana, Brescia; Tatiana Pang of Institute of Oriental Manuscript, Russian Academy of Sciences, St. Petersburg; Nathalie Monnet of Bibliothque nationale de France, Paris; and Chien Fan-wen of Fu Ssu-nien Library at the Academia Sinica, Taipei. With their timely and professional assistance I was able to study numerous rare manuscripts and use them to strengthen the arguments in my revision.
