民国时期关于“生育节制”的四大论战

Four Debates of Birth Control in the Republic of China

1922年4月桑格夫人访华之后,中国知识界从母性自决、新性道德、人口问题、优生学等方面,讨论生育节制与妇女解放、性自由、人口控制、民族优生的关系,由此引起了生育节制的四大论战。尤其节育论者把生育节制与社会改良、国家发展、民族优生、富强救国紧密联系起来,提出"优生节育"、"节育救国"思想。结果,"优生节育"成为国民政府生育政策的思想基础。

After Madame Sanger Margaret s visit to China in April, 1922, there had been discussions on such topics as the new sexual morality, women liberation, sexual freedom, etc., leading to four debates about birth control. Those people who advocated birth control connected it with the social reform and development of the country as a whole, which paved the way for the birth policy of "promoting eugenics and birth control" of the Kuomintang Government.
