Resumen
Following the ban of Yongzheng period (1723-1735), Jesuits Antoino José Henriques and Tristan d’Attimis rebuilt Catholic networks in Suzhou during the early Qianlong era (1736-1795). Crucially, merchants and boatmen, rather than the gentry, provided essential operational assistance. In 1747, the missionaries were arrested and subsequently executed. This study examines the 1747 Suzhou Religious Incident by cross-referencing Qing official records with Catholic writings. It aims to clarify historical facts, highlight the believers' unique social composition, and reconstruct the historical images of the two missionaries.
