Tianzhu (Chinese: 天主, Tiānzhǔ), meaning "Heavenly Master" or "Lord of Heaven," was the Chinese word used by the Jesuit China missions to designate God.〔(''Manufacturing Confucianism: Chinese traditions & universal civilization'' by Lionel M. Jensen p.73 )〕 ==History== The word first appeared in Michele Ruggieri's Chinese translation of the ''Decalogo'', or ''Ten Commandments''.〔 In 1584, Ruggieri and Matteo Ricci published their first catechism, ''Tiānzhǔ shílù'' (天主實錄, ''The Veritable Record of the Lord of Heaven'').〔(''The Jesuits: cultures, sciences, and the arts, 1540-1773, Volume 1'' by John W. O'Malley p.365 )〕 Matteo Ricci later wrote a catechism entitled ''Tiānzhŭ Shíyì'' (天主實義, ''The True Meaning of the Lord of Heaven'').〔〔 Following the Chinese rites controversy, the term ''Tiānzhŭ'' was officially adopted by the Pope in 1715, who rejected alternative terms such as ''Tiān'' (天, "Heaven") and ''Shàngdì'' (上帝, "Supreme Emperor").〔(''Chinese Christians in America: conversion, assimilation, and adhesive identities'' by Fenggang Yang p.52 )〕 "Catholicism" is most commonly rendered as ''Tiānzhǔjiào'' (天主教, "Religion of the Lord of Heaven"). An individual Catholic is ''Tiānzhŭjiào tú'';〔"Catholic", in ''Collins Chinese Concise Dictionary'' (2006), New York: HarperCollins.〕 ''tú'' includes the meanings "disciple" and "believer."〔"tú" in ''Collins Chinese Concise Dictionary'' (2006), New York: HarperCollins.〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Tianzhu (Chinese name of God)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
