Beichen 北辰

Library holds only no. 3 (June 10, 1929). "Specially bound for the private library of the Father General of the Society of Jesus." The issue comes with a "loose sheet with retreat schedule" dated 1977. This issue was given to the library by Anthony E. Clark in 2025. Quotes from the accompanying donation list by Clark.

Beichen 北辰, a monthly, was published by the Institut des hautes études industrielles et commerciales 天津工商學院 in Tianjin. The ads for businesses in Tianjin in our copy would accord with that location. It appears that the name was changed to Xin Beichen 新北辰 in 1935, which bibliographical records say was published by Xin Beichen zazhi she 新北辰雜誌社 in Beiping (Beijing). In 1940, Löwenthal (p. 32) wrote that Xin Beichen was published by the National Catholic Action Centre in Beiping. It had a circulation of 4,000 copies. Löwenthal (chart 1, no. 1) lists Xin Beichen as having been founded in 1929, so he assumes a continuity between the two publications. Peng Fuying (p. 65) writes that the magazine "ceased publication following the outbreak of the anti-Japanese war." Exactly when publication ceased remains to be determined.

內容提要: 十九世紀上半葉，第一批來華的新教傳教士在近代中西文化交流史上扮演了重要的角色。他們所出版的中英文書刊，起到了面向西方傳遞中國文化和向中國輸入西方文明的雙向文化媒介作用。作為第一份面向西方讀者，以介紹、研究中國為主要內容的英文報刊， «中國叢報》無疑是其中最值得關注的出版物之一。但是，由於種種原因， «叢報》迄今尚未引起國內外學術界的足夠重視。
本論文力求考察《叢報》創辦的時代背景、編撰機制、內容以及該刊在中西文化交流史和中國近代化進程中的影響。
本文分為囚章。文前的引言部分介紹本論文的選題緣起、前人研究和本文的視角與目標。本論文第一章擬先追述《叢報》創辦者、美國第一位來華傳教士禪治文的來華起因、神學背景、他抵華之際新教傳教士在華南沿海活動的格局與模式; 並簡要勾勒了《叢報》在中國近代第一批報刊中的位置。第二章是對《叢報》的創刊緣起、內容主旨、編輯運轉和停刊原因的分析。
第三章是對《叢報》內容的研究，本章將重點分析在《叢報》上展開的、曾在當時讀者中激起了強烈反響的兩起辯論:一是鴉片戰爭前夕西人關於鴉片貿易問題的爭論;另外是在華新教傳教士在《聖經》漢譯的過程中關於 God 的"譯名之爭"。本章試圖通過理清這兩起爭論在《叢報》上的歷時演變，以及具體撰稿者在不同時期、不同事件中的態度與觀點，從整體上把握《叢報》二十年的輿論效應和價值取向，以及這兩起論爭在中西關係格局變遷中的意義。論文第四章擬從《叢報》與十九世紀西方漢學的關係、《叢報》節譯《京報》的現象、以及《叢報》與當時中國知識界的接觸這三個方面，來探討《叢報》在中西文化交流史及中國近代思想史上的重要意義。最後為論文的結語部分。
