The Tiger (political Magazine)
''The Tiger'' () was a political magazine which was initiated by Chinese intellectuals Zhang Shizhao and Chen Duxiu and was in circulation between 1914 and 1915. The magazine began as the effort of Zhang Shizhao to create his own publication in the wake of his departure from '' The People's Stand'', then the official publication of the Guomindang. Originally called ''Independence Weekly'', Zhang set out to establish his new journal as politically moderate and without his former connection to the Guomindang. Shortly after, he recruited as editor his contemporary, Chen Duxiu, who was of similar political ideology. The vast majority of each issue of ''The Tiger'' was "lengthy, logically argued, academic-style essays on government" Weston 1998, p. 264. These essays often treated Western liberalism or the state's relation to its people. Nevertheless, a given issue also allowed space for other inclusions like current events, essays in translation, and the occasional work of literature. Op ...

Magazine
A magazine is a periodical publication, generally published on a regular schedule (often weekly or monthly), containing a variety of content. They are generally financed by advertising, purchase price, prepaid subscriptions, or by a combination of the three. Definition In the technical sense a ''journal'' has continuous pagination throughout a volume. Thus '' Business Week'', which starts each issue anew with page one, is a magazine, but the '' Journal of Business Communication'', which continues the same sequence of pagination throughout the coterminous year, is a journal. Some professional or trade publications are also peer-reviewed, for example the '' Journal of Accountancy''. Non-peer-reviewed academic or professional publications are generally ''professional magazines''. That a publication calls itself a ''journal'' does not make it a journal in the technical sense; ''The Wall Street Journal'' is actually a newspaper. Etymology The word "magazine" derives from Arabic , ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Guomindang
The Kuomintang (KMT), also referred to as the Guomindang (GMD), the Nationalist Party of China (NPC) or the Chinese Nationalist Party (CNP), is a major political party in the Republic of China, initially on the Chinese mainland and in Taiwan after 1949. It was the sole party in China during the Republican Era from 1928 to 1949, when most of the Chinese mainland was under its control.

In Taiwanese politics, the KMT is the dominant party in the Pan-Blue Coalition and primarily competes with the rival Democratic Progressive Party (DPP). It is currently the largest opposition party in the Legislative Yuan. The current chairman is Eric Chu. The party originated ...
