Nestorian Christianity and Manichaeism were among a number of foreign religions which became established in China during the Tang Dynasty thanks largely to diffusion of cultures and religions along the Silk Road. This lecture looks at the discovery of the relics and texts of these two religions and their survival in South China into the Medieval period.
