《中國學生周報》（簡稱《周報》）曾經每期出版超過三萬份，作為香港五十至七十年代最重要的青少年刊物之一，培養了一大群高質素的作者和讀者群，貢獻香港以至整個華文地區的學術及文化發展。同時，《周報》作為接受美國官方資金贊助的香港青年刊物，在出版二十多年間（1952-1974）不斷地向香港青年人讚揚和推廣傳統中國歷史、文化和語言知識，藉此建立當代香港青年的「中國人」身份認同意識，並利用傳統中國文化知識作為抗衡共產主義意識形態的工具，驅使香港青年人抗拒當時在中國大陸破壞傳統中國文化的中共政權。本文將首先介紹《周報》與當代香港的時代和政治背景，繼而透過回溯及分析《周報》裡介紹中國歷史、語言、音樂、藝術等涉及傳統文化的文章，並配合多位民族主義與身份認同研究學者的研究成果，剖析《周報》如何透過推廣傳統中國文化知識，從而建構當代香港青年大眾的「中國人」身份認同意識。

The Chinese Student Weekly, once published more than 30,000 copies per issue, was one of the most important youth publications in Hong Kong from the 1950s to the 1970s. It had also cultivated a large group of high-quality authors and readers, and promoted the academic and cultural development of Hong Kong and the entire Greater China region. Sponsored by US official funds, the magazine continuously praised and promoted traditional Chinese history, culture, and language knowledge to young people in Hong Kong during the publication of more than two decades (1952-1974), thereby establishing a contemporary sense of “Chinese” identity among Hong Kong youths. In addition, it also used traditional Chinese cultural knowledge as an ideological tool to counter the Chinese Communist ideology, driving young people in Hong Kong to resist the CCP regime that undermined traditional Chinese culture in mainland China. This article will first introduce the political background of The Chinese Student Weekly and contemporary Hong Kong, and then analyze retrospectively the articles from The Chinese Student Weekly which introduced Chinese history, language, music, art and other traditional cultures. At the same time, this article applies various theories in nationalism and identity to analyze how The Chinese Student Weekly promoted traditional Chinese cultural knowledge to build the “Chinese” identity of contemporary Hong Kong youths.
