The research on missionaries is the traditional research in the study on the history of Catholicism of late Ming and early Qing dynasty, after entering in twenty-first century; it appeared some new research trends. For example, the choices of missionary cases became more and more diversiform, and the scope and field of activities of missionaries became much wider. The new research production which based on the traditional research fields greatly expanded our understanding of the cultural exchanges between western and china during Ming and Qing Dynasties.
