After the 1980s, it became a trend for opposition magazines to work side by side with political movements. The publication of a magazine could not only publicize ideas for an election, but also provide a platform for the candidates campaigning for public offices. Many of the magazines recruited young talented people, organized and educated them, making them a new driving force for opposition activities and a representative for the antagonizing the new and the old generations of thoughts. The Deep Cultivation was one such magazine. It was bold in its speech, and thus quickly raised its visibility and became one of the best sellers. This paper studies the magazine by referring to its original texts, discussing how it was initiated and published, describing its editing staffs, analyzing its contents and style, and exploring how it aroused the conflicts with regards to the proper route and how it affected opposition movements. First, in 1982 it severely criticized the compromise between the KMT and its opponents in the “boycotting event.” Later, it also attacked Kang Ning-hsiang personally, and criticized the opposition route as advocated by the Eighties when the four opposition leaders returned from the United States. Furthermore, it presented its arguments about “Reforming Systems” or “Systematic Reform.” Its sever criticism soon spread to other opposition magazines, leading a hot discussion of the many issues raised by the Deep Cultivation. Even after its issuance as stopped, its atmosphere of criticism continued to exist.
