Taking national construction as the source of rationalization, Chen She-wo began with the reforming of society, insisted on founding popular newspapers, cultivating modern citizens and fulfilling the task of founding a national state. This involved in absorbing the resources of civilian education and work-story doctrine, setting up a mixed journalism education combining with professional and cultural education, cultivating journalists being good at using both hands and brains based on “skills”, “learning” and “morality”, erasing the differences between physical and mental labor and that between labor and capital, changing the interacting manner between the intellectuals and the common people, so as to achieve the goal of social reform and found a national state. This was the so-called “founding a state – cultivating person –establishing newspaper – self-improving – promoting education” rationalization path with a noticeable color of instrumental rationality and an aim of business value and cultural transform.
