通俗读物编刊社:顾颉刚的民众观与出版实践

The Popular Reading Publishing Company: Gu Jiegang's View of the People and Publishing Practice

在20世纪30年代忧国伤时的时代氛围中,以顾颉刚为代表的知识精英,从学术的象牙塔中转向文化最底层的普通民众,他们相信民众是亟待精神改造的重要的国家力量,而优良适宜的民众读物则是改造民众的利器,于是选择以通俗读物编刊社为宣传阵地,探索出"旧瓶装新酒"等典型的实践方式,出版了大量不仅为下层民众所认同与欣赏,而且契合战时教育与指导目标的民众读物,是非常值得注意的。

In the atmosphere of the times when the national was worried about the Japanese invasion in the 1930s,the intellectual elite represented by Gu Jiegang turned from the academic ivory tower to the ordinary people at the bottom of the culture.They believed that the people are an important national force that needs spiritual transformation,and the excellent and suitable reading materials for the people are the tools to transform them.Therefore,they founded The Popular Reading Publishing Company as a propaganda position,exploring typical practices such as“new wine in old bottles”,and they finally published a large number of popular reading materials that not only appreciated and appreciated by the lower class,but also meet the goals of wartime education and guidance,which is very noteworthy.
