The Translation and Dissemination of the Western Psychology from the Early Republic of China to May 4th Movement

Abstract

The period from the early Republic of China to May 4th Movement is the crucial turning stage in the Chinese psychology translation history. During this time, the oversea students ever studying in Japan dominated the translation circle, and meanwhile some professional intellectuals ever studying in America began to join this circle. Therefore, the translation of this time not only maintained the former historical marks, but also began to take on many characteristics appearing after May 4th Movement.
