Why did the New Culture Movement want to knock down Kongjiatian?

The May Fourth Movement. The "May Fourth" New Culture Movement was different from the many Enlightenment movements in Chinese and foreign history, which took the form of respecting the past and restoring the past, and appeared in the form of distinctly anti-traditional. The reason was that it was not only difficult to find a base or banner for reform in the old ideology, morality, and culture, but also increasingly showed serious obstacles. The choice of "Kongjiajian" as a breakthrough was undoubtedly conducive to breaking through the old cultural pattern centered on the feudal political and ethical order. However, on the other hand, those representative figures were not "totally anti-traditional", as can be seen from Hu Shi's writings, he had respect for Confucius and Zhu Xi. Another example is Qian Xuan-tong, who was a fierce critic of the old culture at that time. He once advocated the abolition of Chinese characters, but while firmly opposing authoritarianism in the academic and cultural fields, he also longed for the broad and free world that the Chinese ancients fantasized about, "Everything grows in parallel without harming each other, and the paths run in parallel without contradicting each other". With regard to Confucius himself or Confucianism represented by Confucius, they mainly directed their criticism at the use of Confucian classics to clamp down on people's thoughts and personalities. Therefore, the basic spirit of the May Fourth New Culture Movement was the demand for freedom of thought, independence of spirit and liberation of personality. "The May Fourth Movement did not cause any "cultural rupture" or "ideological crisis", but played an important role in the historical process of China's modernization.
