Abstract: The evolutionary development of the disciplinary nature of Chineseeducational psychology in the 38 years before China's liberation in 1949can be divided into two stages. Stage one began from the end of the QingDynasty (1911) to the early twenties. At this stage, there was only gener-al psychology and no educational psychology. Stage two began from theearly twenties to the year of liberation. During this period, educationalpsychology emerged simply as an applied science to explain educationalproblems.
