------------------- The first reliable evidence of Christian missionary activity in China is found on the famous Nestorian monument - erected in 781 and rediscovered in 1625 - with its lengthy and informative inscriptions in Chinese and Syriac. It states that a certain Alopen arrived in the Tang dynasty's capital of Chang'an (now Xi'an) in 635 during the reign of Emperor Taizong (627-649). This was a period of remarkable cultural openness and religious tolerance. The native religions were Daoism and Confucianism, but foreign creeds such as Christianity, Buddhism, and to a lesser extent Manichaeism, Zoroastrianism, Judaism and Islam were welcomed. By all accounts, Nestorian Christianity thrived in China for a long period, but Daoism and Confucianism, as well as the underlying folk religions, remained strong.
