Divine Yan’an-the Establishment And Spread Of Yan’an Image In KMT-ruled Area During The Anti-japanese War

From the perspective of the Yan’an image construction,this paper explores how Yan’an image is written and communicated in the KMT-ruled area,and analyzes how the media image of Yan’an changed from a "barren land" with backward economy and poor conditions to a "revolutionary Holy Land" in the hearts of thousands of young people.Grasping the era context of counter-Japanese and national salvation and the political environment for the KMT and the CPC during the counter-Japanese war,this paper,firstly,according to the communication subjects,made a distinction between "self-talk" and "the others-talk" of the communication paths of the Yan’an image in the KMT-ruled area,to analyze how the Communist Party of China constructed and communicated the Yan’an image,and what role the third-party media other than the KMT and the CPC played in the battle for public opinion about Yan’an.From the media text,by analyzing the two main media images of counter-Japanese "holy land" and democratic "holy land" gradually constructed during the counter-Japanese war,it is concluded that the writing of these two images is a result of commonly shaping by the Communist Party of China and Chinese and foreign journalists with the text.The communication of the image of "holy land" broke the news blockade by the KMT to a certain extent,reversed the image of Yan’an and the image of the Communist Party of China in the mind of the people in the KMT-ruled areas,and absorbed a large number of talents for the Communist Party of China,which had a far-reaching impact on the victory of the war of resistance against Japan and the Chinese revolution even."Holy land",the Yan’an image carries many meanings with political value,such as "unity","counter-Japanese" and "democracy",and is also an important political symbol of the Chinese revolution.
