This article structure divides into five parts.Part One : crisis-ridden Japanese politics."New Life"monthly publication had carried on the introduction and the analysis to Japan's political condition., and thought then Japanese politics rule was being at one kind of crisis-ridden condition . It performance: Veterans dominated political , financial magnates control political situation, general election was false and growth of proletariat's strength."New Life"monthly publication thought that the veterans were the representatives of feudal influences, financial magnates and political parties colluded each other in order to benefits, these two respects dominated Japan's politics so Japan's political was corrupt; Japan was a capitalist country, it cloud not give the people real democratic power, the victory of general election belonged to the political party of capitalist class, and this kind of situation was strengthened with proletariat's strength in Japan constantly ,that would initiate the people's revolution inevitably.The introduction of Japan's political state is political reality which accords with the Japanese society at that time in the monthly magazine of " New Life ", Japan's politics had drawback which was pointed out in the publication, but the crisis intensity did not so absolutely that had disconnected theory of the publication.Part Two: economy of Japan was coming to a dead-end.Japan was a capitalist country , one of the ways that it invaded Chinese was the economic invasion, so it introduced more Japan's economy."New Life"monthly publication said that Japan's economy had reached a dead end. Although Japan to China and North Korea as its base looting and dumping and the supply of the First World War, Japan's economic situation was not optimistic. Resources of country were limited, accompanied the economic crisis occurred, China National Revolutionary domestic boycott operations increased, and Chinese crude industrial developed so that Japanese goods in China were affected."New Life"monthly publication thought that in these conditions Japan's economy was surely to collapse.Japan's economic conditions did exist difficulties in1920s, during this period of economic development situation can not be compared with the First World War. The conditions which cited in"New Life"monthly publication was consonant with the Japanese social and economic, But this could not cause Japan's economy to collapse in a short time. The reason was that on one hand Japanese Government can intervened and regulated economic development; on the other hand Japan utilized and launched a war to shift the crisis.Part Three : superstition and conservative ideology and culture."New Life"monthly publication pointed out: Superstition idea existed in the culture of Japan, which abounded in imitating, was scant of creating."New Life"monthly publication proposed the foundation of this view was that Japan did not have it's own independent ideology and culture. In feudal era Japan regarded China as the target of studying; after 1868 Reformation imitated western society unconditionally."New Life"monthly publication thought that it would cause state to perish of Japan that this kind only imitated, had no ideology and culture created.The ideology and culture of Japan had obvious imitation traces. China and western countries were both once targets who they imitated, But the ideology and culture of Japan was not the unconditional imitation, It also included a choice, course given up and created synthetically.Part Four : desperate diplomatic circumstances."New Life"monthly publication pointed out: the diplomatic situation at that time of Japan was very difficult. The policy on China had been the center of the Japanese foreign policy all the time, it adopted the tactics of attacking neighbor countries and maintaining friendly relations with more distant nations. Japan adopted the tactics of maintaining to imperialism countries such as Great Britain and America and so on; for China and Korea it carried on positive invading and robbing. The tactics of attacked neighbor countries and maintained friendly relations with more distant nations of Japan had already failed at that time. In China the emergence of national revolution gave Japan attacks; in the world Britain and America discontended with the thing that Japan expands in China's force which caused Japanese isolating in the world. Japan was in the desperate diplomatic condition.From July of 1926 to April of 1927 the first Northern Expedition implemented which had attacked the old warlord and his imperialism backer, but the second time " Northern Expedition " launched by Jiang Jieshi group had already lost the meaning of the revolution for in April of 1928. Fight for the war carried on in domain with the old warlord in Jiang Jieshi group for the second time " Northern Expedition ", It is a backstage supporter that Jiang Jieshi drew imperialism over to his side actively .He had visited Japan in order to obtained support in September of 1927, the revolution in 1928 had not brought the enormous blow to Japan. Japan expanded in China taking advantage of the First World War was to scruple to some extent to Britain and U.S.A. ,the system of Washington obviously has purpose of restraining Japan from expanding the situation too, but the imperialism country all considered for their own interests, they would not think about the destiny of China. The tactics of attacking neighboring countries and maintaining friendly relations with more distant nations of Japan were in a kind of awkward condition, but this was only a strategy that Japan adopted according to the international situation. When this kind of tactics was impractical, Japan would follow the situation and adopt another strategy.Part Five: characteristic of Japan's view of " New Life "monthly magazine." New Life "monthly magazine was received assignments to establish in Jiang Jieshi meaning by Zhou Fuhai, Dai Jitao and so on, so this publication was speaking on behalf for Jiang Jieshi group. In the May of 1928 the emergence of " tragic incident of Jinan " made domestic hatred day mood high, " New Life "monthly magazine published the serial articles of Japan of studying under caring current events and aimed of excusing Jiang Jieshi's non-resistance policy .It introduced political, economic , the ideologies and cultures and diplomatic situation were all introduced to some extent, have revealed Japan's social existing problem and the motive that Japan invaded China. It facilitated the knowledge of Japanese society of the people of our country, and strengthened people's enthusiasm of resisting against Japan. Because class stand restricted and current events situation need, publiced crisis in Japan intensity excessive to exaggerate, think Japan tendency that cause a state to perish, called people put in drive work of warlord out at home focal point of revolution absolutely, this was a weak point of our publication. In general, the Japanese temple of monthly magazine accorded with the Japanese social current situation at that time in " New Life ", its positive meaning could not be ignored.
