摘要
宣武门内教堂是耶稣会士最早建成的正式教堂,最早俗称“西堂”,后以其方位被称作“南堂”,耶稣会士或称之为“学院教堂”。该教堂由耶稣会士汤若望在1650年主持修建,1705年该教堂完成改扩建工程,增设管风琴。1720、1730年两次地震,宣武门内教堂损坏严重,在京耶稣会士重建教堂,于1743年再次对外开放。宣武门内教堂的形制与内饰如何,耶稣会士书信中时有记述,其中又以乾隆朝宫廷乐师鲁仲贤的描述最为详尽。富有特色的教堂建筑吸引了不少访客,但访客们的兴趣只停留在建筑、绘画、器物这些感官层面,并不涉及对基督教的深入探究。
As the oldest church in Peking,the church inner Xuanwu Gate was first named“Xi-tang”,later was named“Nan-tang”for its position in the city.Jesuits in China also called the church inner Xuanwu Gate as Church of College.P.Adam Schall von Bell was in charge of the building the church inner Xuanwu Gate in Peking in 1650.1705,Jesuits upgraded the church and introduced pipe organ.The church inner Xuanwu Gate was destroyed completely because of powerful earthquakes,which happened in 1720 and 1730.The reconstructed church was open to public again in 1743.Depiction of the decoration and outrage of the Church were described by Jesuits in exquisite words,particularly the record of P.Joannes Walter,a court musician,who introduced the new church in detail.The visitors would be touched by the splendid building,but their curiosity would be gratified by the Church’s unique appearance,paintings and instruments,etc.,no one intended to know more about principles of Christianity.
