The Opium War led to the change in the Later Qing Dynasty, which had made a huge impact
on the social order of integrated communication in ancient China, and reconstructed the construction
path of Chinese cultural leadership: (1) Discourse subject: intellectuals; (2) Discourse channel: modern
newspapers and periodicals; (3) Discourse content: news plus speech; (4) Discourse object: the general
public. The change in the late Qing Dynasty was not only a change in the media pattern from the
“classical center (literati)” to the “newspaper center (reporter)”, but also from the integrated order of
“governing religion” to a culture of “divide between politics and religion”. This change in the power
order had also shaped a new media landscape.
