- Abstract
Taiwan was officially opened after the Sino-British-French Tianjin Treaty, and with it prosperous business and a large number of Western missionaries entered the cities and towns in the north and the south. The presbyterian church in the north had a greater impact on the future. However, the conflicts of various civilizations and the problems that followed have emerged one after another. Therefore, the anti-Christian protests of the people of Taiwan that started in the 1870s were an important Chinese and foreign incident in the cities and towns of the Taipei Basin. Later, due to the Sino-French War of 1884-85 spreading to northern Taiwan, religious cases broke out in cities such as Huwei. Although it was subsequently settled under official negotiations between China and Britain, it contained complicated factors such as politics, clashes of civilizations, and religious beliefs. This also indicates that more passionate resistance will erupt in Taiwan in the next 10 years. In the conclusion, this article summarizes Huntington’s theory of the conflict of civilizations, trying to open up a new perspective on the conflict between Chinese and Western religions in Taiwan at the end of the nineteenth century.
