Archaeological evidence dates the existence of Jewish traders from Persia and Yemen in Chinese territory to the 8th century C.E. Although mentioned tangentially in writings by Arab traders and European travellers since the 9th century, it was not until 1605 that the first account of a meeting between a Westerner and a Chinese Jew was recorded. Since that time scores of visitors to China have recorded their observations of the Chinese Jews, charting their course of assimilation into their Chinese environment over the centuries.Subjects--Topical Terms:

520 $a Archaeological evidence dates the existence of Jewish traders from Persia and Yemen in Chinese territory to the 8th century C.E. Although mentioned tangentially in writings by Arab traders and European travellers since the 9th century, it was not until 1605 that the first account of a meeting between a Westerner and a Chinese Jew was recorded. Since that time scores of visitors to China have recorded their observations of the Chinese Jews, charting their course of assimilation into their Chinese environment over the centuries.
520 $a While some have attributed the reasons for Jewish assimilation into Chinese society to isolation from the rest of world Jewry since the Ming dynasty (1368-1644), if not before, or the lack of persecution by the Chinese government, others have posited that their assimilation was due to the fact that the Jews took and passed the Chinese civil service exam in disproportionate numbers to their population, leading to their being assigned cities other than their own, to the Confucianization of intellectuals, intermarriage in their newly adopted towns and the acculturation of the Kaifeng Jewish community which was still under their influence.
520 $a After first documenting three hundred years of Western contacts with the Chinese Jews, this study explores the possible reasons behind initial Jewish attraction to the civil service exam at the time they first settled in Kaifeng, during the Song dynasty (960-1279), and to the Chinese educational system which spawned it, maintaining that the educational values held by the Jews at their time of entry into China and through the time they were most likely cut off from the rest of world Jewry, were so similar to those held by the Chinese at the time that it could not have done otherwise.
520 $a The historical and cultural basis for the development of both people's educational values, in particular the perceived link between the cultivation of individual and communal ethics through education, and national survival, is explored, as are similarities between Talmudic and Confucian educational traditions, all of which encouraged their participation and success in the civil service exam, and resultant assimilation into Chinese society.
