Tianzhu (Chinese Name Of God)
Tianzhu ( zh, c=天主, w=Tʻien-chu), meaning "Heavenly Master" or "Lord of Heaven", is the Chinese word used for God in Catholicism, designated by the Jesuit China missions. History The word first appeared in Michele Ruggieri's Chinese translation of the '' Decalogo'', or ''Ten Commandments''. In 1584, Ruggieri and Matteo Ricci published their first catechism, ''Tiānzhǔ shílù'' (天主實錄, ''The Veritable Record of the Lord of Heaven''). Matteo Ricci later wrote a catechism entitled ''Tiānzhŭ Shíyì'' (天主實義, ''The True Meaning of the Lord of Heaven'').

Tianzhu (India)
Tianzhu () is one of the historical ancient Chinese names for the Indian subcontinent. Tian (天) means heaven, and Zhu (竺) means bamboo in Chinese. Tianzhu was also referred to as ''Wutianzhu'' (, literal meaning is "Five Indias"), because there were five geographical regions on the Indian subcontinent known to the Chinese: Central, Eastern, Northern, Southern, and Western India. Etymology Originally pronounced as l̥induk or *qʰl'iːn tuɡ 天竺 in Old Chinese, it comes from the Chinese transliteration of unattested Old Persian diminutive *Hinduka-, which is from attested 𐏃𐎡𐎯𐎢𐏁 ''h-i-du-u-š'' (Hindu), which is itself derived from the Proto-Indo-Iranian *síndʰuš, the etymon also of Sanskrit ''Sindhu'', the native name of the Indus River. Persians travelling in northwest India (present-day Pakistani Sindh and Punjab) named the subcontinent after the river around the 6th century BC.
