The two slogans of the New Culture Movement are "Mr. De and Mr. Sai", namely democracy and science.

Slogan of the new culture movement

"Democracy" refers to democratic thoughts and democratic politics; "Science" mainly refers to the laws and spirit of modern natural science. The bourgeoisie preached democracy and opposed feudal autocracy, pointing the finger at Confucianism, the theoretical pillar of feudal autocracy; Advocate science and oppose feudal superstition and ignorance.

This slogan reflects the requirements of China's social development and the urgent needs of the people, and has effectively promoted the development of the New Culture Movement. However, this slogan still belongs to the nature of bourgeois old democracy and has the limitations of its class and times. It can't be combined with mass movements, and it can't treat China culture and western culture from the viewpoint of historical materialism, so it can't fundamentally overthrow feudal thought.

The establishment of the two banners of democracy and science in the New Culture Movement has brought about earth-shaking changes in many aspects of China, and created great opportunities for the wide spread of new ideas and theories.

New Culture Movement

The New Culture Movement is an unprecedented enlightenment movement in the history of China, and it is also an unprecedented profound ideological emancipation movement. With a fearless spirit and a fierce attitude of breaking away from traditional ideas, it mercilessly criticized feudal absolutism, feudal ethics and superstition, awakened a generation of young people, and baptized China intellectuals, especially young people, with western democratic and scientific ideas.

In the society, a vigorous wave of ideological emancipation was set off, which burst the floodgate of imprisoning people's thoughts, thus opening the door for the introduction of various foreign thoughts into China and inspiring people to explore the truth of saving the country and the people.

It was under the impetus and influence of the New Culture Movement that a group of young revolutionary Democrats appeared in China. Among them, the advanced elements accepted the influence of Russian October Revolution and prepared ideological and cultural conditions for the widespread spread of Marxism in China.
