Modern history "evaluates the attitude of modern classes towards China's traditional literature"

The die-hards of the landlord class believe that traditional culture is superior to that of any place in the world and blindly stick to it. However, after a series of wars of aggression against China, such as the Opium War, the enlightened elements in the landlord class began to learn and introduce western culture on the basis of traditional culture, while the Westernization School put forward the idea of "taking China as the body and using western learning". The bourgeois reformists combined China's traditional culture with western political theory to transform China society and innovate ideas. The bourgeois revolutionaries introduced democracy and ideas into China's traditional thoughts and put them into practice. Radical Democrats, represented by Hu Shi and Chen Duxiu, carried out a comprehensive liquidation of traditional ideas under the banner of "democracy" and "science".
