Episode 8: Nanjing Decade (1): Academia & Journalism


Listen Later

The Nanjing Decade is the period from 1928 to 1937 that saw Chiang Kai-shek's Nationalist rule over a semi-unified China, allowing for the blossoming of new trends in science, literature, art, and culture that were brought to an abrupt halt with the invasion of Japan in 1937.

This episode is the first in a series of episodes on the Nanjing decade, and discusses developments in academia, including natural sciences, humanities, social sciences, medicine and journalism. It gives an overview of the intellectual sphere, looks at government involvement in science and journalism, and highlights key figures in the development of new academic fields in China including Hu Shi, Gu Jiegang, and Fei Xiaotong. We will also talk about the influence of foreign nations on China, particularly Japan, the US, and European nations such as Britain, Germany, and France.
