The Sheo Yang Mission (referred to as SYM in some accounts) was a Protestant Christian missionary society that was involved in sending workers to China during the late Qing Dynasty. It was founded by the Pigott family in 1892〔Encyclopaedia Sinica available at (archive.org ), p.512〕 (possibly accompanied by two other families Johnson and McNair), they had previously been members of the China Inland Mission (CIM). The mission was destroyed and most members murdered in 1900, the work continued through the Baptist Missionary Society. ==Spelling of names, placenames== Shanxi :Shansi (Wade-Giles form) appears to be the preferred spelling in the years around the turn of the 19th Century, since then the pinyin〔Page at () gives Wade-Giles and Pinyin names and placenames for comparison〕 form Shanxi has become the standard. Other forms seen include: Shan-si,〔(The China Martyrs of 1900: A Complete Roll of the Christian Heros Martyred ) by Robert Coventry Forsyth, 1904〕〔 Shan-hsi.〔(Dawn on the Hills of Tang Or Missions in China By Harlan P. Beach ), the rendering of Shan-hsi, e.g. p110, appears to refer to Shanxi province〕 Not to be confused with Shaanxi (Shensi, Shen-si) which is a different, but local, province. Taiyuan :T'aiyuan, Taiyuen, T'ai-yuan (e.g. in Timothy Richards "Forty-five years in China"), T’ai-yüen. This is often seen with ''-fu'' or simply ''fu'' as an extension, presumably indicating that Taiyuan is the provincial capital. OCR errors include "T ai yiien".
