description Tomás Pereira, whose Chinese name was Xu Risheng, was a distinguished Portuguese Jesuit, scientist, and musician, born on 1 November 1645 in northern Portugal, more precisely in São Martinho do Vale, Famalicão, Minho. He arrived in Macau in 1672 and, one year later, began working at the court in Beijing before Emperor Kangxi. Beyond his divine mission, his musical talent was also widely renowned. Alongside his proselytizing work, Pereira served as an ambassador of Western sciences and held an important position at the Qing court, playing a prominent role in negotiations with Russia following the invasion of Chinese territories. The episode of the Chinese Rites Controversy reveals the influence that Tomás Pereira had attained: after the prohibition of missions in China, and thanks to his arguments before the emperor, the Jesuit succeeded in having the Edict of Toleration of Christianity published. Furthermore, as an expert in music theory, he served as music teacher to the emperor himself and wrote the first work in Chinese on Western musical technique.
