戊戌变法时期北京传教士办报之兴衰——以《尚贤堂(新学)月报》(1897—1898)为例

The Rises and Falls of Newspaper-running by Missionary in Beijing During Hundred —— take Shang Xian Tang( Xin Xue) Monthly( 1897—1898) as an example

《尚贤堂(新学)月报》由美国传教士丁韪良任主笔,其内容及写作方式与同时期维新派报刊相比,后者更能贴近晚清社会局势,并受到民众广泛认同。以《尚贤堂(新学)月报》为代表的一批维新变法时期的传教士报刊之所以迅速被淘汰,主要是因为其内容上加诸于政治上的宗教色彩以及由此表现出的文化优越感引起中国人的反感,以及其办刊理念不适应中国社会及文化精神需要而致。

This paper discussed the content and the composing style of Shang Xian Tang （Xin Xue） Monthly written by American missionary William Alexander Parsons Martin. Through the comparison with other newspapers of the Reformers at the same time, it proved that the former could adjust to the social situation of late Qing dynasty so that it was widely accepted by the public, and the conclusion is ： the rea son that many newspapers run by missionary were eliminated during the Hundred Days＇Reform is because the rehgious tone on politics and the cultural superiority based on it, this arose the antipathy of the pub lic, so they were eliminated from market because their conception of editing did not adapt to the spiritual needs of Chinese.
