Originated in 1884, Dianshizhai Pictorial, which made pictures with novel and delectable news, supplemented with explanations in words, initiated the pictorial press of the late Qing Dynasty. Among all of the over 4 600 pictures, 280 ones ware related to science and technology, most of which were about western new technologies involving train, ship, submarine, fire balloon, and telegraph, etc. Compared with the other newspapers, Dianshizhai Pictorial contained more information, and thus a more intuitionistic result was generated in transmission. At the same time, Dianshizhai Pictorial was also the reflection of Chinese peeples attitudes towards the western science and technology transmission into China: on one hand, it reflected the acceptance and recognition of Chinese people, e.g. on the issues of medical operations and photography; on the other hand, it reflected the repulsion and Sino-Western cultural conflicts, e.g. the idees of railways destroying geomantic omen, and rumors that the spirits of the dead were used to send telegraph, etc. On account of the peculiar position that Dianshizhai Pictorial occupied, its value in the studies on history of science and technology as well as communication of science and technology stands to reason.
