传教士自明末清初进入中国,经历了从禁锢到接受,从排斥到吸收的巨大变化。近代以来,随着国门的逐渐被开放,西学东渐的高潮让传教士带来的文明成为近代文化转型的主要动力,尤其是在最早开埠的沿海城市。本文仅撷取香港和上海两座较为典型的城市来探讨这种影响力的巨大。 The missionaries entered China from the late Ming Dynasty to the early Qing Dynasty and experienced tremendous changes from imprisonment to acceptance and from exclusion to absorption. In recent years, with the gradual opening up of the country, the climax of Western learning made the civilization brought by the missionaries the main driving force for the transformation of modern culture, especially in the earliest coastal cities that were opened to traffic. This article extracts only two of the more typical cities in Hong Kong and Shanghai to explore this huge impact.
