Under the field of cultural communication vision,Hu Shi’s research on thought is mainly based on the Chinese ideology and cultural system in the 20th century, which carries out the research work centered on the Hu Shi’s communication theory from the perspective of literary cultural communication.It’s generally acknowledged that thinking is the reaction to one’s surroundings, which includes historical context and survival situation. Naturally, Hu Shi’s thought of communication is related to his positive reaction. Hence, those positions based on "Theory of Generation", from the angle of the occurrence, based on some kind of "Understanding of sympathy" are to measure "survival philosophy" which is a basis to the thinker. It tries to get back to the lively historic scene and touches the heartbeats of the thinker in due course and inspects the way to research on how things come into being specificly, which should be advocated and encouraged. Because it’s not only beneficial to learning about the processes of thoughts’formation and restoring its own appearance, but also the effective way to maximize the thinking value of the thinkers. Hence, what kind of relationship is there between the Hu Shi and his communication theory? It’s the problem we should face and solve first and foremost.The first chapter of the essay "the analysis of Hu Shi’s communication motivation" concerns about the "people spread" activity in a way of "Reverse Attribution" to solve the relationship between Hu Shi acted as a communicator and his historical context. During the May Fourth New Culture Movement, Hu Shi got his rapid reputation when he appeared at the historical stage, during which he played the role of "being a son" and "being a father" at the same time, which was an important period of his life; his historical situation is the "communication time" when there existed the collisions of Chinese and Western and the alternations of the old and the new. As for Hu Shi, the historical situation and the survival situation has much similarities and homoorganicity. It’s the urgent ethical dilemmas that speeded up his pace to "being a apprentice" to a "National tutor". It was also during the comprehensive advance process from "the ego" to "Immortal self, "his identity" to "Beyond the main body" when Hu Shi completed his elaborate buildings of his communicator role clusters of the trinity of "the acceptant", "the communicator" and "the gatekeeper". Between the gloomy and the surpassing, hurrying to shape up in an age of urgent time, depending on his beyond consciousness of getting above others and unique comprehension ability with the perfect release of the communicator’s energy, they not only shape his perfect image of cross-cultural communicator, but also become the largest power source of his embarking on culture communication. This dynamic analysis of psychological factors is essentially the first step to research on Hu Shi’s communication theory.The second chapter is also based on Hu Shi’s survival situation, which tries to portrait and define the image of "the News Person Hu Shi" by inspecting on Hu Shi’s embarking on the specific media practice and media behaviors. After a brief combing,according to the article, the relationship between Hu Shi and his positive undertaking in newspaper and magazines is a kind of mutual achievement. Newspapers and magazines were not only production of cultural elaboration exerting all of his energy and soon became his platform for the expression of his thoughts at the same time,which both contributed to his influence and cemented his reputation. However, when inspecting the relationship between Hu Shi and the two big publishing houses, the Dongya Library and the commercial press as well as his interpersonal communication with publishers such as Wang Mengzou, Zhang Yunji etc, we can find that Hu Shi was the "opinion leader" in the field of ideological culture as well as an "able man" trapped in the law of human feelings in the media. The look of "opinion leader" and his unique " able man phenomenon", as two sides of Hu Shi’s " News Person Image" are other important sides of learning about his communication theory.The third and fourth chapters are the main parts of the essay. Based on learning about Hu Shi’s historical context and communication situation, they choose to continue tracking the thinker Hu Shi’s culture.According to the article Operational Logics an ways of thinking such as the Orthodox Philosophy, Central Tendency and Diversion Thinking, value concepts and Kernel Thoughts such as Pragmatism, Scientific Methodology, Liberalism constitute Hu Shi’s cultural philosophy. On this basis, the essay further pointed out that it should stick to value and rational principles in the cultural communication and encourage the media consciousness of simplicity, humanity, and generalization; highly emphasized the objectivity of the news, advocated the professional philosophy of the pursuit of truth and also not forget to pay attention to the social responsibility of the media and the professional ethnics of the journalists; meanwhile, adhering to " the theory of limited effects" in the culture dimension is to pursue the powerful effect of social dimension communication emotional organized plans of the concept political transmission of "His Organization". Moreover, since Dewey is the founder of modern transmission, Hu Shi was not only deeply influenced but bore it in mind for the whole life, who tracked Dewey’s dynamic thoughts all the time benefiting from the atmosphere of learning communication to the article, between 30 and 60s in the 20th century, Hu Shi’s thinking was related to the school of experienced function communication, his fate of the ups and downs associated. His ideas effectively synchronized with the most advanced thoughts in the world. The advantage of the academic level of resources are not only beneficial to explaining Hu Shi’s influence but also are good for us to redefine the unique charm of Hu Shi’s communication theory.Compared with the transmission thinking of Hu Shi, Li Dazhao, Liang Shuming, the fifth chapter further highlights the special value of Hu Shi’s communication theory and its probable historical limitations. The analysis says that among the three thoughts there exists three different geographical views " from west", "from north", "from south" and three different transmission strategies in methods, practices and thoughts and three different types of transmitters such as Dharma master, Tester, Requester etc.The essay further refers to Hu Shi’s communication theory, which was benefited from his peculiar insight to the ethical dilemmas of the process of " Father and son isomorphism" and his constitutions of surpassing the main body towards the united states doctor’s "He" identity. Hu Shi’s communication theory is a typical age birth in the pattern of the " West High And East Low" cross-cultural communication. It’s relevant to age and easily to become the mainstream of the age which did cause fatal historical influence. However, it’s probably because Hu Shi had a sensitive instinct or he had a over smoothed life situation where he was able to take control of the tendency of the age. Meanwhile, it led to his communication theory, a production of" following the trends" which hadn’t the impact force from Mr. Li and Mr. Liang’s conclusion of "Reverse Thinking", while the " Responsibility Ethnics" and "Personality Imagination" he boasted were also affected and impacted by its media practice and communication theory. And these had become the reason of his "Tiredness of Liberalism" and the historical limitations of his communication theory, which were highly tested in the developing processes of the thinking culture in the 20th century.
