[The General medical journal of China]

The "General medical journal of China", started by Hou Yuwen in Beijing in 1923, was renamed the "Journal of Oriental Medicine" in 1933. This journal influenced the medical field in terms of improving medical development, and in particular, playing an important role in spreading western medicine in China in the 1920s and 1930s. The journal was operated and issued in Beijing, Shenyang, and Changchun successively, recording important medical activities and medical experiences at that time, presenting the historical events of multi-dimensional interaction and exchange between medicine and society, medicine and culture, and medicine and politics. In this sense, it has an important historical value.
