The Commercial Press and Modern Chinese Culture
by Shi Chunfeng
About This Novel
The Commercial Press is a century-old tree and a heavy book. Whether from the perspective of modern cultural history or modern publishing history, the Commercial Press is an object worthy of careful study. In recent years, the industry has begun to re-examine the Commercial Press, which is what it should be. In 1999, Comrade Shi Chunfeng was admitted to the History Department of Beijing Normal University and studied for a doctorate with me. He is eager to learn and his writing skills are also very good. She discussed with me the topic of her dissertation, and finally decided on "The Commercial Press and Modern Chinese Culture." Although academic research on the Commercial Press has produced some results, Comrade Shi Chunfeng's paper takes a different approach and still has its own unique perspective. She placed the Commercial Press in the historical process of the collision and blending of Chinese and Western cultures in modern times, conducted a long-term and systematic investigation, and focused on its rise and development, especially its relationship with modern political trends, modern Chinese and Western cultures, modern education, and modern cultural celebrities. She provided many independent insights and helped people understand the Commercial Press and even modern cultural history. The author pays attention to collecting information extensively, and takes advantage of the favorable conditions in Beijing to visit old people in the Commercial Press, so that his thesis has a solid historical data foundation. This book is the result of further enriching her doctoral thesis while teaching. There is no end to academic research. Comrade Shi Chunfeng has taken a gratifying step and I believe she will continue to achieve new results. This book is a publication funded by the Beijing Social Science Fund. The author traces and verifies the history of the Commercial Press and clarifies many historical issues. In particular, he makes a convincing discussion of the relationship between the publishing industry of the Commercial Press and the development of modern Chinese culture.
