The Society of Jesus, also known as the Jesuit order, was one of the chief arms of the Catholic Counter-Reformation in Europe, and one of the earliest and most prominent groups of Christian missionaries to be active in China. Individuals such as [[Matteo Ricci]] (at Court in Beijing 1582-1610) and [[Giuseppe Castiglione]] (at Court in Beijing 1715-1766) were granted prominent positions in the [[Ming Dynasty|Ming]] and [[Qing Dynasty|Qing]] Courts respectively, and played significant roles in introducing European science, technology, art, and architecture to China.
