Architectural features
Ruins of St. Paul is divided into five layers, the bottom two for the same rectangular rectangular, triangular composition of three to five pyramid. This paper is to study is one of the main statue of the third layer, this layer of the series of statues of Our Lady of the Immaculate Conception by the middle of the center dividing line as to the level varies in width, but the symmetrical left and right between two stone pillars and related forms of content, were grouped into six pairs of statues. According to the left and right sides are all on the turn slightly inward, as follows: First of: all about China, Buddhist-style bust of stone lions. Second pair: the left wings of the dove on the ball, the right to wear the crown for the double-arrow cross. Third pair: the left female body plus the devil's head and limbs, the chest is a Darts wear, its the right side of the Han textual as "ghost is a tempting evil" and its right hand clockwise the left cross. The right is the skull bones of the dead one, the left side of the Han textual as the "crime of inaction studying the dead", the right side of the counter-clockwise in the L-Cross. Fourth pair: the left is a patron of Our Lady in a sea barque, the right for the same seven feet on the Dragon Lady, the upper right corner of the Han textual as "Our Lady of tread leading." Fifth on: Left for the three dragons (? Or human) head of the water column and a rectangular pool, the right is the Tree of Life (? Or Bodhi) tree. Sixth on: Madonna of the Immaculate Conception in symmetrical on each side of the upper, middle and lower as the three angels. Not more than six pairs of carving has obvious non-traditional Catholic form and content, and there are three statues which were carved with a Chinese were captions. This is not the other layers, according to Mr. Xu Xin Macau result of research, said: "In that era of Baroque architecture, carved with Chinese characters, only Macau's St. Paul's cathedral." In the contemporary Catholic Church the statue, only this is with a profound meaning in Chinese from a series of illustrative, rather than occasional, individual isolated, little profound meaning of Chinese characters. This unique statue to Han Wen explain the phenomenon itself, have been shown to have this series of statues from China's cultural, religious origins. Luo also pointed out by Lewis A. Coser: Use some new art graphics, whether it is in the text, or a number of European religious architecture was still the strange thing is that religious art Ruins of St. Paul the most distinctive aspects of architecture. For example, the image of the devil and death, and is different from the religious art of Trento, after the General Assembly, the graphic method of Symbolism. Need to mention that in this artistic masterpiece, we see these innovations, or what ever, are clearly Jesuit missionary in China, the results of the new method, that is a reflection of the gradual adaptation policies. This is a different use of time in Africa and the Americas, the "white board" TABULA RASA new type of China missionary missionary method, conceived by Xavier, Valignano planning, Ricci and Ruggieri be practiced successfully. Therefore, in addition to a new way beyond the mission (no doubt that at the time was living in the first place), but also need to study all aspects of the corresponding relationship to a better understanding and assimilation as a strategy reflects the results of the Jesuits in Macau and China arts development situation. Above theory is undoubtedly correct and very enlightening. In this paper, the whole of the Ruins of St. Paul's views on Ji agreed to "better understand and assimilate the results as a reflection of the strategic," but also must face the problem that the other hand, the results of the assimilation of Chinese culture itself led by Catholic orthodoxy as alienation. As mentioned earlier, the results eventually led to the Ruins of cathedral is not only in ruins, and the tragedy of a cemetery.

Previous study, especially the West who, because of the lack of Chinese Religion depth understanding of culture, this Church has in the Buddhist meaning of the statue and the three Chinese, often only for the screen and literally, and even shallow Solutions is a misunderstanding. Therefore, the arch is the result of Chinese and Western discussion of integration and assimilation in the superficial but most remain within the abstract. Of course, this is understandable. However, we can not always stay in the images and text on the surface of the shallow solution basis, but should be in succession on the basis of previous studies, continue to thoroughly explore the culture of non-traditional Catholic sense of deep content, whether it is from China Which Religion cultural background story. I believe that the statue of the third layer and text, have drawn reference to Buddhist scriptures, in particular related to Shakyamuni Buddha's past lives of the "Jataka" or the "play by the" story. We have the image and the Zhen is on textual sources and explore together the meaning is it possible to receive Secret Zhen puzzle is the effect.
