On February 4, 781 C.E., inside China's very first church, the Daqin Monastery, in the Yining Ward of capital Chang'an, a stele was erected. Between Chinese hornless dragons setting on its top, a Christian cross was carved, with lilies and clouds flanked on its two sides. Below the cross written in Chinese regular script were characters, meaning ''Stele to the Propagation in China of Jingjiao (the Luminous Religion) of Daqin (the Roman Empire)''. #ChinainCulturalRelics For more: https://english.
