ISA-RC34 and China Youth Research

（一）

今天，“百年青年研究——中国青年发展与青年学学科建设研讨会”在上海举行。会议安排的时间和地点富有纪念意义。

1915年，影响中国近代历史进程的《新青年》杂志在上海创刊，至今整一百年。她的出现标志着中国新文化运动的开始。创办人陈独秀号召年轻人做“新青年”，并提出“新青年”的六大标准是：自主的而非奴隶的；进步的而非保守的；进取的而非退隐的；世界的而非锁国的；实利的而非虚文的；科学的而非想象的。在某种程度上，《新青年》的创刊也被视为中国青年研究的起点。

我完全赞成这一观点。不只是其刊名和办刊的宗旨，也不只是其内容已经初露对青年的观察、分析和研究，而是《新青年》创刊于1915年这个时间节点。因为从19世纪末延续到20世纪20年代，正是西方青年研究开始进入学科化建设的初创期。横空出世的《新青年》杂志顺应了这一现代青年研究学科化趋势的世界潮流！

(I)

Today, the “Rise of Youth Research – China Youth Development and Youth Discipline Building Workshop” held in Shanghai. Time and place of the meeting scheduled monumental significance.
In 1915, the impact of Chinese Modern History “New Youth” magazine published in Shanghai, has a whole one hundred years. Her appearance marked the beginning of Chinese New Culture Movement. Founder Chen called on young people to do the “New Youth”, and the “New Youth” six criteria: independent and not slaves; progress rather conservative; aggressive and not retired; the world rather than locking country ; the utilitarian rather than imaginary text; science rather than imagined. In a way, the “New Youth” is founded also considered the starting point of China Youth Study.
I fully endorse this view. Titles and journal not only its purpose, not just its content has burst on the scene observed on youth, analysis and research, but “New Youth” was launched in 1915 this time node. Because from the late 1800s to the 1920s continue, the western youth research has begun to enter the start-up of discipline construction. Born the “New Youth” magazine in tune with this trend of modern youth research discipline in the world trend!
