In early 1920th, Niels Bohr and his work have been introduced into China, and the first paper about his work was introduced in Wissen and Wissenschaft (XUEYI) by Changshou Zhou in 1920. From 1920 to 1936, Bohr’s theory about atomic structure and Copenhagen interpretation of quantum mechanics has been spread widely in China. In 1937, before the Anti-Japanese War, Bohr visited China and the grand reception gave him beautiful memory. Bohr’s visiting China is very important for the history of China’s scientific exchange. His speech was translated into Chinese and published in Wissen and Wissenschaft (XUEYI) in 1937. Bohr was evaluated as ‘Thought leader of modern science’, ’Pioneer researcher in atomic physics’, ’One of the great physicist in the world’ by Chinese scholars.
Niles Bohr was very friendly to new China since the establishment of People’s Republic of China in 1949. Chinese scientific community also respected him. Prof. Gege devoted his life to introduce Bohr and his work into China. In 1985, on the occasion of the 100th anniversary of Bohr’s birth, Chinese physics community held a ceremonious commemoration, and lots of Chinese physicists wrote articles which published in the next year to commemorate and highly praise Bohr. In this paper I comb the introduce and spread of Bohr’s theory in China and analyse the articles written by Chinese physicists in 1986, the praise from all kind of area of research indicates that China accepted entirely Bohr’s theory and praised it highly although his theory was ever criticized.
