This book also includes masterful translations of both Wang Yinglin’s (1551–1602) hallowed Confucian \u003ci\u003eThree Character Classic\u003c\/i\u003e and Aleni’s Chinese catechism that was published during the Qing (1644–1911). Clark’s careful reading of the \u003ci\u003eFour Character Classic\u003c\/i\u003e provides new insights into an area of the Jesuit mission in early modern China that has so far been given little attention, the education of children. This book underscores how Aleni’s published work functions as a good example of the Jesuit use of normative Chinese print culture to serve the catechetical exigencies of the Catholic mission in East Asia, particularly his meticulous imitation of Confucian children’s primers to promote decidedly Christian content.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Palgrave Macmillan\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2021-01-10\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9789811596230\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-981-15-9624-7\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 210cm x148cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 105\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer Nature Singapore","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47515873116300,"sku":"9789811596230","price":58.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9789811596230.jpg?v=1775964558","url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9789811596230","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
