Abstract: The term “diffusion” might be more accurate than the term “dissemination“ in describing the Marxism dissemination in the early 20^th century in China.According to Everett Rogers,the interpersonal network is an important channel for information diffusion.Initiated at Zhejiang Official Secondary Normal School in late Qing Empire,this interpersonal network was reinforced through the New Culture Movement and May Fourth Movement in the 1910s and 1920s,and Marxism was spread within the network.After the First Revolutionary Civil War,the interpersonal network grew into the United Front in Cultural Work led by the Communist Party of China and its members transformed from Marxism thinkers into its disseminators.During this period of time,Marxism was effectively diffused and spread through networks to more diversified social classes,which avoided the possible political and economic risks in Marxism promotion,and meanwhile ensured its stability and sustainability.The diversified interpersonal networks in the League of Left-Wing Writers also made Marxism dissemination more effective and diverse as well.This research is expected to be thought-provoking for scholars in studying and understanding the characteristics of Marxism dissemination in its early stage in China.
