A Comparative Analysis of Foreign Cultural Reception in the People’s Republic of China Since Its Founding: Focusing on Government Documents and People’s Daily
Abstract
This study examines the patterns of foreign cultural reception in China across three distinct historical periods since the founding of the People’s Republic of China in 1949. Through a comparative analysis of official government documents and reports from People’s Daily, the research focuses on how China’s mode of accepting foreign cultures has shifted from being centered on the Soviet Union (1949–1969), to being dominated by American influences (1978–2000), and finally to the current stage characterized by cultural exchanges with East Asian countries (2000–present). The study employs content analysis of two major sources of data: (1) government policy documents, and (2) People’s Daily reports spanning over seventy years. The research framework is based on a triangulation methodology, incorporating multiple theoretical perspectives, including Ideological Control Theory, Cultural Imperialism Theory, and Cultural Hybridization Theory, to ensure a comprehensive analysis. Key coding categories were developed to identify the reception patterns, characteristics, and limitations of foreign cultures in each historical period.
