It is necessary to note preaching lies on th : e top of missionary agenda and their relief actions are often regarded as th : e byproduct and instrument of preaching. From 16 to 18 century, there were m : ore than 800 missionaries to come to China, which is argued that China and w : est communication moved to "Missionary Era". In the missionary era, Missiona : ry staffs took the responsibility as the humanitarian technician, church act : ed as the humanitarian agencies, and catholic communities are the humanitari : an vector : Matteo Ricci was the first person who attended to organize humanitarian reli : ef in China. Michele Ruggleri and Matteo Ricci built their first church in 1 : 583. And they demonstrated the first relief attempt in 1586, that is, Matteo : Ricci provided the shelter service for the victims who were trapped in the : flood in Zhaoqing. When he moved to Beijing, the capital of Ming Dynasty, Ri : cci with other missionaries assisted the governments to deliver relevant rel : ief to the flood victims in 1604. : A more organized relief by missionary happened in 1634, when a serious famin : e hit Shanxi. Alfonso Vagnoni tried his best to help the affected people and : even built an orphan asylum which was financed by missionaries and local Ch : ristians. Compared with charity action provided by Matteo Ricci, Father Vag : noni contributed a larger-scale and more organized relief in China. : Juan Adam Shall von Bell and Ferdinand Verbiest were the most well-known peo : ple about Sino-Europe communication except Matteo Ricci. As the missionaries : , they all were appointed the official positions in Qing Dynasty and had ver : y close relationship with the emperors. They had the advanced knowledge abou : t astronomy and earthquake. Emperor Kangxi once revised the Chinese calendar : s and related earthquake measurement policies according to their introductio : n of western knowledge, which provided a foundation of Qing's disaster respo : nse. In addition, Ferdinand Verbiest once provided minor relief in Inner Mon : golia. : A larger scale humanitarian action dominated by Europeans with the official : appointment of Emperor Kangxi, Joachim Bouvet, Petrus Jartoux, Dominique Par : ennin and Jose Suarez started their humanitarian actions in Beijing after a : serious flood and subsequent famine in Shandong, when millions of displaced : people flowed to the capital. Jartoux thought this appointment indicated the : emperor's trust on foreign missionaries. The fathers designed a good proced : ure about relief signal and delivery address. With the money from government : and collection, they made a good job to deliver food for the victims and me : anwhile provide sanitation service. These hungry people were in a good order : , which made Chinese officials a little jealous, argued by Jartoux. Finally, : this action last for 4 months and deliver the food for more than one thousa : nd : than one thousand victims。 : Timothy Richard was an epoch-making figure in the Chinese humanitarian actio : ns, who had lead a largest-scale relief actions with John Nevius in the drou : ght-famine-plague disaster in nine provinces of North China, especially in S : hanxi Province. This drought last more than 3 years and finally led to a mos : t serious famine, which was named "Dingwu Qihuang". "Dingwu" stands for year : s of 1877-1878; "Qi" means most unusual, most surprising and incredible, and : most serious, etc; and "Huang" is a complex of many disasters including nat : ural and human-made. In this drought and famine disaster, there were 200 mil : lion people affected and 13 million killed. 1/3 population in Shanxi Provinc : e lost their lives. In this misery disaster, Qing government was incapable t : o handle it as a result of fragile governmental capacity, internal and exter : nal threats. In order to deal with the catastrophe, they had to take foreign : assistance by the catholic missionaries into a relief system. This relief i : s the first "organized and planned" disaster relief activities that took for : eign missionaries into account in China. During the relief, on the one hand, : Richard urgently called for the money collection in Britain and "London Maj : or Disaster Relief Foundation" was built, which provide millions of money fo : r the disaster victims. On the other hand, he advised Qing government to mig : rate people to some places with low food price and recommended the measureme : nt, i.e. Food for Work (Yigong Daizhen), meaning give people work in place o : f relief subsidies。 : In sum, social welfare and charity events by Catholic and Christians were ma : inly focus on three aspects, i.e. medical service, children and elderly char : ity, and relief service. Triangle aspects are interrelated in fact and provi : ded technical conditions and experiences for Chinese humanitarian actions, d : irectly and indirectly. By 1937, there are about 70 hospitals built by Catho : lic organizations of France that provided 5000 sickbed. Meanwhile Christian : organizations of Britain and United States built 300 hospitals with 21,000 s : ickbeds. In addition to these hospitals, there were about 600 clinics in Chi : na. The building of European medical facilities promoted the development of : medical technology in China and raised Chinese public health awareness. Som : e of marginalized groups like infants, orphans and elders are the target gro : ups of European churches, especially for the Catholic organizations. In 1930 : , there were 306 orphan asylums with 74,752 orphans or abandoned infants. At : that time, there were 232 Catholic welfare homes for the elder. -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 123.175.102.37
