The Dissemination Of Information In The Boxer Movement

In Chinese and even international historical academic circles,the correlative researches on the Boxer movement are always the key and hot point of the teaching and learning research.The speed of development of its correlative research is faster than that of the Boxer Movement. In the educational world of history ,no matter Chinese or foreign,those beautiful flowers bloom in the research area of the Boxer movement.Up to today, the degree of heat of the Boxer study has gone down, but compare to some historical events,the Boxer study still has a certain heat degree. The rapid development along with the multitudinous subject(it includes the natural sciences and social sciences),the multi-disciplinary overlapping research becomes a new breakthrough point in each research area day by day.This article attempts to superficially study the Boxer Movement question which has been studied clearly by many historians in the pattern of the information classification as well as the information dissemination .At present, in the historical academic circles ,more and more historians only concentrate on the Boxer Movement event itself, the study of information dissemination by social sciences is limited in the information dissemination circles, .Especially, it changes the research direction of the dissemination to the vector that study the change about the disseminate medium along with the fast development of the modern medium. By author's limited field, the studies on the way of the information dissemination in the Boxer Movement process, as well as the channel of the information dissemination and the role which plays to the entire movement have not been a mature systematical and exhaustive research achievement in China. It is sketchily mentioned in other special study. Much historical evidence about the information dissemination exists in the work about the Boxer Movement. The western scholars pay much more attention to this question than the Chinese scholars do, they already concern the astonishing speed that has been used to push the movement to the high tide in a short time by the Boxers .The medium of dissemination was not advanced in China then, so we think the method and the pattern which the people adopted is suitable to the historical background. Unfortunately, it is not able to receive the Chinese translation or literatures of the correlative special study in China. If we neglect the vital role of the information dissemination in the Boxer Movement, we will not explain the reason why it can rapidly expand in a short time, thus affected many areas in China. At the time ,it was also a spoken-language society ,a Chinese society which did not completely complete the transformation to the medium society. The Boxers'composition structure has doomed the dispersiveness, the mysteriousness and the complexity must go far beyond other mass movement do. These factors caused the information dissemination to have an important and particular effect in the organization in which the movement participant's quality is lower .This article attempts to use mainly the concept'information disseminates'and its correlative analysis pattern to analyze the information dissemination pattern, the way in the Boxer Movement, and attempts to analyze the social philosophy foundation behind these information dissemination patterns and the reason why the Boxer Movement adopted these patterns and matters .As mentioned above, in Chinese and even international historical ciecles, the research on the Boxers Movement is very mature, the quantity of the relative writings is so.huge. Up to today, in the mainland China, the studies on the Boxers no longer has its hot point status. But, we also must realize that, the Boxer Movement is the huge movement that made tremendous influence in the Chinese modern history. After this movement , not only the Qing government signed the treaty of equality, but also started to the Xinzheng revolution.Even more frequent revolution activities which happened after the Xinzheng revolution as well as the revolutionary party members to clearly understand the situation finished the history of the feudalism dynasty that has 2000 years of life in China. Therefore, it is still necessary to attempt to study the Boxer Movement with the aid of other academic achievements in a different but superficial view .This article will draw support from other related concepts and the analysis construction in order to construct a new apparent threshold on the Boxer Movement studies. Certainly, this kind of attempt is inevitably superficial .This article divides into five parts. The foreword is the first part, it mainly introduces the present research situation about the information dissemination in the Boxer Movement in domestic and the international historical circles, and explains the article's proposition and the main mentality.The first chapter to the third chapter is the main body part, and is also the most important part. The chapter 1 mainly introduces the related concept about the information and the dissemination in the dissemination research area. This kind of introduction carries on from its serviceable aspect with the Boxer Movement. The concept information dissemination is widely applied in the natural sciences domain, especially in biology, chemistry, medicine, pharmacy and electronic science technology. However, along with the academic exchanges daily deepening, it is already more and more applied in the dissemination study domain now. In this article , the information dissemination only refers to the social information's dissemination. It refers in particular to the human being'disseminate, which entirely different from that in the natural sciences.The chapter 2 introduces the different message classify and the dissemination patterns in the Boxer Movement in detail. It is possible to divide the different information dissemination ways in the Boxer Movement into the spoken language dissemination, the writing dissemination and the non-language's.The spoken language dissemination may subdivide into the ballad and nursery rhymes, music, leaders'lectures and so on. The writing dissemination mainly includes the placards, announcements, and the correspondences. The non-language dissemination includes the mark dissemination (for example, group money, flag, clothing and so on).The chapter 3 mainly expounds information dissemination types and the influence in the Boxer Movement, the dissemination type in the Boxer Movement mainly includes the interpersonal dissemination, the clique dissemination and the organization's.The information dissemination pattern mainly accelerated the development speed of the Boxer Movement, expanded the influence scope of the Boxer Movement, and push the movement to a more formalized direction and so on. But these information dissemination patterns also exposed the Boxer Movement participant's low knowledge level and insufficiency in the knowledge structure. The conclusion is the last part, mainly makes a brief summary to this article.
