EDITORS COMMENTS
This ancient stone inscription, discovered at Si-gan-fou (Chang-an or Hsian-Fu) in 1625, provides compelling evidence of early Christian missionary activity in China during the Tang Dynasty. The inscription, which is now housed in the National Museum of China, bears the name of O-lo-pen, an Assyrian man who is believed to have preached Christianity in China around 635 AD. The inscription, which is written in both Chinese and Syriac scripts, confirms that O-lo-pen was sent as a missionary by the Syrian Patriarch Isho'yahb I. The discovery of this stone, which is one of the earliest known records of Christianity in China, has significantly expanded our understanding of the historical spread of Christianity in Asia. O-lo-pen is believed to have brought the Gospel to China during a time when the country was open to foreign influences and religious exchange. His missionary efforts are believed to have laid the foundation for the spread of Christianity in China, which continued to thrive for several centuries. The inscription also provides valuable insights into the cultural exchange that took place between China and the Middle East during the Tang Dynasty. The use of both Chinese and Syriac scripts on the stone reflects the multicultural nature of the period and the interconnectedness of the Eastern and Western worlds. The discovery of the O-lo-pen inscription is a testament to the rich history of religious exchange and cultural interaction between China and the Middle East. It serves as a reminder of the important role that China played in the spread of Christianity and the significant impact that it had on the development of the religion in Asia.
