Apart from the introduction in the first chapter and the conclusion in the last chapter, this thesis consists of two parts. The first part comprises of Chapters Two and Three which deal with the history of the LiangYou Printing & Publishing Company and its pictorial magazine The Young Companion, putting mainly the progress of the Company and its magazine in the order of their establishment, development and extinction, and analyzing the Company's publications in order to show a full view of the magazine to the readers. The second part mainly explores the age and milieu as depicted in The Young Companion. This part is primarily a textual study, discussing the magazines views of China and the world through its news reports, special columns and serial features. / The Young Companion, after its virgin publication in 1926 in Shanghai, China, rapidly became an influential and authoritative large-scale pictorial in the 1930s and 1940s on account of its correctness in widening knowledge, enriching common sense and exploring field of vision. The long period of its existence and the numerous issues published earned its uniqueness in China. As a large-scale pictorial magazine, The Young Companion created a new idea for magazine publication. The research done on the magazine will help us understand how a new cultural trend is formed in society. / This thesis focuses on the uniqueness of the coming and going of The Young Companion as a cultural pipeline facing the public in Shanghai which is a place of cosmopolitan population and a meeting point of China and the West; it also focuses on how the magazine regulated its position in the socio-cultural context of China as a new medium and cultural product. / 王若梅. / 論文(哲學博士)--香港中文大學, 2007. / 參考文獻(p. 274-287). / Adviser: Yuen Sang Leung. / Source: Dissertation Abstracts International, Volume: 69-01, Section: A, page: 0339. / Electronic reproduction.
