In that case, it's of great value to research the functions, especially the construction function of advertisements in Science journal. Based on a quantitative and qualitative analysis, in this passage, we'll mainly discuss its important function in communicating science knowledge as well as science concepts, so that we can gather useful experience for the development of advertisements in sci-tech periodicals nowadays.
The Chinese Progress was a significant publication during the period of the Reform Movement of 1898, which was vital to the reform started by Kang Youwei and Liang Qichao. It had the largest circulation and the hugest impact at the end of Qing dynasty.
