Christianity comes to Taiwan The first time Christianity came to Taiwan was back in the late Ming dynasty, when the Dutch and Spanish occupied key parts of the island. But after the Chinese general Zheng Chenggong (Koxinga) conquered the island, missionary work came to a halt, leaving behind as the only remnant of this phase the Roman alphabet used by the Dutch for romanizing Taiwanese.
其實，明朝末年，荷蘭、西班牙割據台灣時，基督教曾一度傳入台灣，但鄭成功收復台灣後，宣教工作便就此中斷，只留下荷蘭人宣教時所使用的羅馬字。
