What is the New Culture Movement

The New Culture Movement (the New Culture Movement) was an ideological liberation movement against feudalism initiated by some advanced intellectuals in China at the beginning of the 20th century. Its basic slogan was to support "Mr. Democracy" and "Mr. Science", that is, to advocate democracy and science.

The advocates of the New Culture Movement used the evolutionary viewpoint and the idea of personal liberation as their main weapons, and vigorously attacked the "past sages" represented by Confucius, vigorously advocating new morality and opposing the old morality, and advocating new literature and opposing the literary language.

In September 1915, Chen Duxiu founded the Youth Magazine in Shanghai, which was later renamed New Youth, and the New Culture Movement began. The movement strongly attacked and shook the dominance of feudal orthodoxy, awakened a generation of young people, and baptized Chinese intellectuals, especially young people, with the ideas of Western democracy and science, thus opening the floodgates that curbed the flow of new ideas, and setting off a vibrant trend of intellectual emancipation in the Chinese society.

This created favorable conditions for the spread of new ideas, especially Marxism, that suited China's needs.
