Contemporary Review () was a weekly Chinese literary magazine published from December 1924 to December 1928.
Established in Beijing, Contemporary Review began printing weekly editions on December 13, 1924. The publication featured work from new literature writers, covering topics such as politics, economics, law, philosophy, education, science, and the arts. Many scholars affiliated with the magazine had studied in Europe or the United States, including Hu Shih (), Gao Yihan (), Tang Youren (), Chen Yuan (), and Xu Zhimo (). After 209 issues, the magazine ceased publication in December 1928. During its run, it produced 3 extra issues and a series of specials.
In the January 24 and January 31, 1925 issues, Zhang Dinghuang () published "Mr. Lu Xun" (), a two-part review of Lu Xun's (é²Âè¿ ) writings.
Early Republic of China journals such as Contemporary Review, Fiction Monthly (founded in 1910), New Youth (Xin Qingnian) (founded in 1915), Creative Quarterly (founded in 1921), and Tattler (founded in 1924) were published during a period of significant change in written Chinese. These publications featured writers and scholars who lived through the 1911 Xinhai revolution, which marked the end of the Chinese monarchy and the establishment of the Republic of China. Hu Shih (è¡é©) later served as Education Minister for the Republic of China and Cheng Fangwu () of Creative Quarterly worked on the Red Army education system.
