Abstract The author conducts an investigation into the religiosity faith of the ancient Chinese people, through the writings of Archbishop Lokuang, a specialist in Chinese philosophy. In some of his articles, the Archbishop considers the first three Chinese books: Shang-shu (The book of documents), Shi-jing (The book of poetry), and Yi-jing (The book of changes). According to his research, these books demonstrate the presence in ancient Chinese culture of a deep and widespread religiosity. What emerges from these passages is a very clear notion that the ancient Chinese believed in one God, in a way comparable with the Christian concept of God. The result of this research could be useful in achieving the aims set out in the Declaration on non-Christian Religions of the Second Vatican Council. It also serves as a bridge for dialogue with the Chinese people and shows that their ancestors were not forgotten in God's revelation.
