Features: In recent years, the Chinese academic community has made tremendous efforts in translating and introducing the works and thoughts of Western academic masters. This phenomenon contrasts sharply with the ignorance and arrogance of some Westerners towards Eastern culture. However, once the urgency of understanding Western academic culture is affected by a () social mindset, the quality of translation and introduction work declines significantly. As a result, some people swallow Western academic works whole, while others interpret Western academic thoughts based solely on literal understanding. The importance of a communication studies perspective can also be more broadly understood and applied in our academic research. For a long time, people have often discussed the history of scholarship or the history of thought from a static, non-communication studies approach. That is to say, people naturally start from their current understanding rather than from the actual communication conditions of the research subject—textual factors—to describe the history of scholarship or thought. This greatly reduces the credibility of various works on the history of scholarship or thought.
