Abstract: At the end of Min Dynasty and the beginning of Qing Dynasty, the churchmen leading by Matteo Ricci started to carry throgh the activities of culture intercommunion and missionizing in China. However,the differences between the twocultures towards the relationship of father and son, husband and wife,and the ceremony finally led to violent collision between the western ethics and the Chinese traditional family morlity. The Chinese traaditional moral criterions of paramountcy of paternity, males senior while females inferior, one husband with several wives, and ancestor worship were so against the grain with the Catholic morality that they couldn't tolerate each other. And at lase the intercommunion of the two different culture broke off.

摘要： 明末清初,以利玛窦为首的西方传教士们以“学术传教”为手段,在中国社会进行文化交流和传教活动,由于两种文明中在对待父子、夫妻以及仪礼规制等的价值取向上的差异,从而导致了西方伦理同中国传统社会的家庭伦理的剧烈碰撞。中国传统家庭伦理中的父权至上、男尊女卑和祭祖孝亲等伦常规范同天主教的伦理要求格格不入,互不相容,最终导致了两种不同文化交流的中断。
