This paper intends to answer the interaction between the language pattern evolution of the press media and social changes. On one hand, it tries to find out the reflects and influences of modern press media on social ideas, ideology, times spirit and people's psychology; On the other, it analyzes restricts and influences putted on language pattern of press media by special social situations and language conditions. Through new theoretical analysis of changes in the internal and external system of the language pattern in press media, the paper tries to re-collect the evolution process of language pattern in modern press media.The language use of modern Chinese newspapers is based on the breakthrough of both "Eight-part" Essay and TongCheng School of Classical style. Modern missionary newspapers adopted the strategy of "While in Rome, Do as the Romans do.", the Chinese characteristic style , entering into China's realm. Clear position of political elites can be found in the public media of late Qing Dynasty. Though "the enlightenment language" reflects no practical "dialogue relations", the "elites" in the press media stand on behalf of the "public opinion" to some "rebel."The Revolution of 1911 set off a rush in revolution in China. The modern papers were gradually turning to language system with revolution as its main subject. It is in such language situation of revolution that derives the archetype of "revolution". While in contrast , non-governmental papers stand their ground trying to build a " folk language system", as to be different from the lonely " enlightenment language " of the elites .ormation of the colloquial language during the "May Fourth Movement" changes the authority status of the Classical Language underlaid by Confucius culture. However, only those Bourgeois elites are really free in language using, as they have learned the journalistic language and signals. During the transformation of the paper language to colloquial language, the enlightenment language forms.Since the Agrarian Revolution, China's papers language pattern starts to split up. The Kuomintang papers are even more contrary with the public opinion. The standpoint of commercial papers also appears to split up and fuse, but the majority has the dual unfavorable situation in politics and public opinion. "Newspapers" and "the tabloid" of this time between launches to news language power capture, and have constructed "the language field" to the publication news. In correspondence, "the social class language" were further distinguished in parties and groups publication news propaganda in the country series area and under the red political power leadership, Party papers through cultivated news audiences "public opinion field"; the language pattern of "recoding news from the point of the Party" and "publicizing the Party's opinion through narrative news" have come into being the main form.The formation of "public language" pattern in China's press media lasted for hundreds of years. Different significance and importance of "popularization" are represented in different periods' papers. The real "public language" pattern are finally formed in the specially historical period -anti-Japan war. In anti-Japan war and Liberation war period, the language mainstream is revolting against Japanese, saving the nation and political conflicts, and "political utilitarianism" and "nationalism" become the main language pattern. Based on its special advancement and rationality, the language use of CCP's papers keep up with the times and stands out in the historical competition and selection.
