| Description | Among the missionaries in China a major role played members of the Society of Jesus, the Jesuits. In course of almost two hundred years they had not only a great numerical superiority among the missionaries, but also developed a method of accommodation for the evangelization of China and played an important role in the imperial court in Beijing. They were popular at Qing emperors for their erudition because they were educated in various sciences such as mathematics, music, geography and cartography. They penetrated on the coast of China since the mid-16th century, but the first missions on the Chinese mainland were founded after the year of 1582. |
