| In1859, Darwin's on the origin of species pressed in British, this was a sensation of human events and become a milestone in the history, which was founded by the evolution of biological discipline and the development of human civilization turn over a new page, Darwin rigorous scientific spirit, indomitable scientific literacy and "the Beagle's Voyage" become famous science of events. Darwin's Theory of Evolution began to spread through the books, periodicals and various kinds of media widely spread in the world. Darwin's Theory of Evolution began to spread in China in the late of19th century, and quickly had a huge response in society, its great influence and ideological change is not only related to the biology community, but also a profound influence on the sociology, politics and the natural science.Through the view of sci-tech periodicals communication, take a preliminary study of history on the spread of Darwin's Theory of Evolution in China from1873to1937by use the scientific history of literature review method, analysis and research method. Hoping from the standpoint of the life science and the social development, especially the standpoint of the scientific development view, to re-examine and outline the history communication and spread significance of biological evolution impartially and scientifically before1937years in China.Comprehensive survey of more than tens of thousands of article in3000kinds of science and technology journal in1949years ago, choose18journal from the evolution of the transmission of science and technology in1873-1937, select213articles and representative book as research evolution in transmission basis in the period. And further analysis and comparison of the literature research selection about The Chinese Scientific Magazine, The Light Seekers, Science,Xin Oing Nian, Revus pour tous, min duo and so on the representative journal and the western exam slightly, species original and so on.The results of the study show that,1) in1873, published a report title on the west humanistic in no.404, according to research, this was the first time of the name of Mr. Darwin and his work in China. John Fryer published in the writing the chaotic said "penny, introduces the biological by Jane to diverse gradual process, and for the first time about the ape theory with fathers, and mention biological evolution on no.7The Chinese Scientific Magazine in1877. In1884the United States Presbyterian missionary DingWeiLiang published a book named the western Exam slightly, the official of Darwin's theory of evolution and comment on the introduction, according to research this book is so far see the earliest, the most system to the evolution of Darwin's introduction.2) In1897, The Light Seekers assembly introduce the western theory of evolution. promote reform and development point of view, China's ideological circle, the academic circles have profound enlightenment role for the reform movement provides theory basis, Yan Fu combine Darwin's theory of evolution and the creatures in late Qing dynasty of China social form, and make alienation of communication strategy for social evolution, is the main cause of causing unprecedented influence. In1906, Lee Di articles published the TianYanLun BoYi in9years54report, as the evolution of the criticism is representative of a missionary journal, from the side show the evolution of the spread of twists in China, this promot the evolution further spread in China, and eventually of natural science on the new theory of profound influence on the development of Chinese people's thoughts become baptism, promoted the thought the profound development of enlightenment.3) Founded in1915, the new youth of the spread of evolution, initially have close to its scientific nature, but soon in the Chen Duxiu's alienated to social evolution, and trying to change the ruin of Chinese society. Chen Duxiu, as a representative of the progress of evolution to the people in the new youth journal for media, and the integration of the extensive publicity for the propagation process of evolution in China added a dense. So, in1919before during and after, the theory of evolution reach the spread of climax in the third time in modern China.4) In1915by China science club founded the science publishing, and released "evolution album" in1927, there published "scientific" Darwin, evolution from his thoughts origin and influence, genetic, mutation, species form, adaptive evolution, human evolution and social problems and other aspects of introducing the all-round evolution, and also introduced the system as a whole is the basis of evolution of modern biology. At the same time China science club also founded China's earliest biological research institute. From the history of evolution, evolution method, evidence of evolution, Darwin and other aspects of the chronological for us to interpret biological evolution, and put forward the development trend of the theory of evolution.The conclusions are as follows:1) Outline the propagation path of the1873-1937years of Darwin's Theory of Evolution from a new perspective of science communication for the first time in China. Darwin's Theory of Evolution is not, as scholars generally considered in1897by Yan Fu's "Evolution and Ethics" was introduced to China, passed hours in advance to1873. Compared to books and newspapers, journals has been the main medium for the dissemination of Darwin's Theory of Evolution in China. From the morphological point of view, the spread of Darwin's Theory of Evolution journals from the arts and journal to the natural scientific journals and then refined as the subdiscipline journal article genre from the point of view, the late Qing period news reports, commentaries message form the genre of articles, in order to introduce Darwin its being to the early Republican period article genre evolved to become more professional papers, which also marked the " The Journal of Natural History "," Journal of Natural Science," Natural Magazine "biology further enhance the professionalism of the professional journals dissemination of scientific knowledge.2) Take a profound analysis of the introduction of Darwin's Theory of Evolution to Chinese society from the perspective of the journal spread for the first time. Yan Fu, Chen Duxiu combine of Darwin's Theory of Evolution with social forms in the Late Qing Dynasty, and alienation of social Darwinism communication strategies, resulted in an unprecedented impact on the most important reason. From the newspaper form the "National News" journal form "national news compilation" Evolution and coexistence, both newspapers proof of one of the origins of the birth of Chinese journals, Yan Fu avoid the respective disadvantages of newspapers and periodicals and use of the advantages of a typical case skillfully. A year later, Yan revise and improve of the serialized part" Evolution and Ethics ", and published in book form. In which,to avoid the newspaper intellectual, academic and tend to be more of a disadvantage, and take full advantage of the fast track of the advantages of newspaper news reports, Darwin's Theory of Evolution in the spread of Western science news first spread; to avoid the disadvantage of journal publication cycle is longer than newspaper, and fully scholarly journals, systematic advantage, his serial Darwinism, to achieve the secondary transmission; circumvention books continuity, timeliness disadvantage of the poor, the first serial published in the journal, the formation of the continuity of knowledge to obtain suspense, and then use the stage of the book. integration advantage, on the basis of journal serialized form of a book published, in order to achieve the three propagation effects. This is one reason why Evolution and Ethics, formed in the late Qing Dynasty and outbreak spread in china.3) The "science"journal founded in1915spread biology, especially of Darwin's Theory of Evolution, as well as growth-promoting life science disciplines and systematic master media completely different from the sporadic spread of other books or journals related to Darwin's Theory of Evolution since the late Qing and Early Republic Period, limited to the dissemination of knowledge and even alienation of the state of affairs of transmission. Founded as China's first large-scale comprehensive academic journal, it is the development of life sciences in China has made important contributions, in particular the spread of Darwin's Theory of Evolution in China has played an invaluable role in promoting."Science",from most of the western introduction of the basic disciplines, dissemination of the systemic and the pursuit of cutting-edge. This is the fundamental reason why "Science" have become the main medium of the spread of Darwin's Theory of Evolution since the late Qing Dynasty in China.4) Darwin's Theory of Evolution,as one of the most important theory,it spread in China to promote and influence the establishment and development of the biology of higher education in China. The Chinese people accept and study the Darwin's Theory of Evolution to speed up the biological evolution, the rise in China as an independent branch of discipline, and thus improve the development of Biology in China. The Biology of higher education in China under the influence of biological evolution is not only enriched the original plant taxonomy and animal taxonomy, comparative physiology, embryology, systematic, and other traditional disciplines, but also gradually derived from evolutionary biology, cell into the chemical evolutionary ecology, quantitative genetics, evolutionary genetics, biological evolution, human origins and cosmogony new branch. And make the Chinese biological disciplines develop quickly toward the direction of the systematic and theoretical.
