九江开埠以后,西方教会陆续进入九江兴建教堂并进行传教活动。为了配合传教,西方教会在九江创办了新式教育、西式医疗、慈幼恤老等慈善公益活动。这些活动推动了近代九江社会的转型,促使九江成为西方教会在江西乃至长江中下游流域传教的重镇,彰显了九江在近代发展中的特殊地位和辐射力。 After the opening of Jiujiang, Western churches gradually entered the Jiujiang Church and missionary activities. In order to cooperate with preaching, the Western Church founded a new type of education in Jiujiang, Western-style medicine, charity and other charities charity activities. These activities promoted the transformation of the modern Jiujiang society and prompted Jiujiang to become the center of Western missionary mission in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River in Jiangxi Province, highlighting the special status and radiation power of Jiujiang in its modern development.
