EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "European foreigners at the gate of a temple of Confucius - their gift of a goat is refused with disdain" transports us back to 1891, offering a glimpse into an intriguing moment in history. The image showcases a group of European visitors standing at the entrance of a temple dedicated to Confucius, bearing a gift of a goat. However, instead of being received with gratitude or curiosity, their gesture is met with evident disdain. The accompanying text reveals that the disciples and followers of Confucius during that time harbored deep reservations towards Christians and foreigners alike. Symbolically represented by their distinct green headgear, these European visitors are seen as unwelcome intruders on sacred grounds. The inscription above the temple's entrance denotes Hing-Tan, which signifies its significance as an esteemed school founded by Confucius himself. This detail adds further context to the rejection faced by these foreign guests – it suggests that they were not only denied entry but also denied access to wisdom and knowledge imparted within those walls. This thought-provoking image serves as visual evidence from an era characterized by rising nationalism and xenophobia in China. It reflects sentiments against Europeans and Christianity prevalent during this period while shedding light on anti-foreign sentiment within Chinese society. As we contemplate this historical snapshot captured through color lithography, we are reminded that art has always been instrumental in conveying political messages and shaping public opinion – even dating back centuries ago.
