Jingzhe (Chengdu)

Jingzhe (traditional Chinese: 驚蟄, translated to English as both Spring Festival and Awakening from Hibernation) was a Chinese newspaper, published in Chengdu in the late 1930s. It was one of the last public expressions of the anarchism in China, one of several journals published by Chinese anarchists during the period but the only such to have a clear anarchist identity and position. Anarchism in China was previously a minor but influential ideology during the last years of the Qing dynasty, both in South China and among the Overseas Chinese, but with the eruption of the Chinese Civil War the anarchist movement declined heavily. It was frequently suppressed by the dual monoliths of Chinese politics, the Communist Party of China and the Chinese Nationalist Party.
