In the early mission period, the European Mission orders(Jesuits,Dominicans,Franciscans) had a lots of influence upon East Asia missions. But , in the 19C-20C, the European Powers(France, America, Germany, The united Kingdom) had much influence upon East Asia missions. On the other hand, anti-Christianity movement had an effect on the eclectic style church architecture.3. Main materials of church architecture in the treaty port of modern China were gray brick, red brick and stone. Especially, in the case of Catholic church, gray brick, Red brick and special brick were used together in Korea and China for presentation of Western architectural detail.
