Summary: Sinology, the study of the multifarious aspects of Chinese civilisation, is one of the most forgotten areas of Portuguese academic re search, despite Portugal having been the first European nation to establish diplomatic and trade relations with imperial China. The roots of Portuguese sinology lie in the small and strategic enclave of Macao. First settled some where between 1556 and 1557 by Portuguese sailors, the history of Macao is a veritable tale of political survival, reflecting the uncertain juridico-political legitimacy that always loomed over the Portuguese exercise of sovereignty within the territory and Joaquim Vous that led to few and irregular examples of cultural expression.
