What are the tendencies of absolute negation or absolute affirmation of eastern and western cultures in the New Culture Movement?

Affirmation: The development of democracy and scientific thought has shaken the dominant position of feudal thought, promoted the development of natural science in China and liberated people's thoughts, especially those of young people. Marxism spread in the later period was accepted by advanced intellectuals in China and became an ideological weapon to save the nation and transform society. It played a propaganda and mobilization role in the outbreak of the May 4th Movement, and was also conducive to the popularization and prosperity of culture.

Negative: The New Culture Movement was initiated by the bourgeois radical democrats. It has great contributions and serious shortcomings. The advocates of the movement ignored the masses, did not combine the new culture movement with the masses, and confined the cultural movement to the circle of intellectuals. They also avoided the actual struggle against the warlord government at that time and did not directly put forward the anti-imperialist task. As far as the literary revolution at that time was concerned, although the construction of "national literature" was put forward, the literary activities at that time were limited to some intellectuals and could not be popularized among workers and peasants. The blind criticism of China's classical literature and the overall affirmation of western learning are one-sided.
