庚子年内蒙古阿拉善旗王公礼送外籍神父出境事件述略

A Brief Analysis of Maharaja of Alxa's Helping Foreign Missionaries Out of China in 1900

19世纪末,在山东等地爆发以"扶清灭洋"为目的的义和团运动。这一运动很快自内地传入关外,于是1900年,在内蒙古西部蒙旗发生了一场焚毁教堂,攻击教民的仇教事件。在这次事件中,作为主要被攻击目标的外籍神父,或负隅顽抗或纷纷出逃。据史料记载,当时比利时圣母圣心会10多位外籍神父为躲避义和团拳民和蒙旗官兵的围剿,从鄂尔多斯等地逃往阿拉善旗三盛公教堂,并在阿拉善旗王公的协助下经库伦返回比利时。然而值得我们注意的是中西文献对此事的记载却不尽相同。这反映出蒙旗与教会之间错综复杂的关系及庚子年蒙旗仇教事件的复杂性。

At the end of 19th century the Boxers movement broke out in Shan Dong and other prov- inces. In 1900, in the western Mongolian banners an anti-Christian event broke out. Churches were de- stroyed and Christians were attacked. In this event the missionaries either fought back or escaped. Accord- ing to historical documents, a dozen of missionaries from the Congregation of Immaculate Heart of Mary escaped with the help of maharaja of Alxa and they returned to Belgium via Kulun. What we should notice is that the historical document from China and the west differ about this event. This suggests the complex- ity of the relationship between Mongolian Banners and churches and the complexity of the anti-Christian in Mongolian Banners.
