晚明南京教案是中国天主教史上的第一次大规模教案。关于这次教案的起因,以往的研究主要集中在佛耶冲突、晚明党派之争、中西文化冲突等方面。实际上,晚明中外局势下西方殖民活动的威胁亦为南京教案爆发的一个重要诱因,只是学界迄今仍鲜有论及。 Late Ming Nanjing lesson plan is the first large-scale Catholic lesson in Chinese Catholic history. On the cause of this lesson plan, previous studies mainly focused on the Foye conflict, the partisan faction in the late Ming Dynasty, the Sino-Western cultural conflicts and so on. In fact, the threat of Western colonial activities under the situation in both China and foreign countries during the late Ming and the Ming Dynasties was also an important incentive for the outbreak of the teaching plan in Nanjing. However, the academic circles still seldom deal with it so far.
