Figurism
Jesuit missionary intellectual movement / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Figurism was an intellectual movement of Jesuit missionaries at the end of the 17th and the beginning of the 18th century, whose participants viewed the I Ching as a prophetic book containing the mysteries of Christianity,[1] and prioritized working with the Qing Emperor (rather than with the Chinese literati) as a way of promoting Christianity in China.[2]
