Western church refers to Catholicism, Eastern Orthodoxy and Protestantism, the branch of Christian. Western church purchased estate on the basis of Sino-France Beijing treaty (Chinese version) signed in 1865 and the treaty on the church purchasing inland estate in 1895. The government of Qing Dynasty had negotiated for times with France the problem of church estate. Restoring the former site of Catholic Church was a special activity of preachers to plunder the property of Chinese people. Churches purchased estate in diverse ways, scale and quantity, and for different usage, and each of them exert different influence on China’s modern society.
