| مستخلص: |
After the Catholic missionaries entered China, they took different attitudes and strategies to the Chinese local religions such as Confucianism, Buddhism, and Taoism and popular religions. In missionaries' apologetic writings, the authors strictly declaimed against the Buddhism, Taoism and the popular believes which are derived from the two formal religions. However, in the social communication, the attitude of Missionaries to the Taoist Culture differs from their points in the writings. They even reformed the content and polytheism of the Taoism culture to fill in the Catholic faith. In the countryside, Catholicism was unavoidable to be affected by kinds of local customs and popular religions. Critique and reform of the Taoist culture and local customs aims to spread Catholicism broadly and quickly; but in the process of encounter between the Catholicism and Taoist culture, the exchange and communication of Sino and Western culture has been realized.
