china portal communism portal v t e when cai yuanpei the principal of beijing university resigned on may 9 1919 it had caused a huge uproar in the media across the country this connected the academic discourse within the university with the political activism of the may fourth demonstrations 31 the may fourth demonstrations of 1919 initially united the leaders but soon there was a debate and falling out over the role of politics hu shih cai yuanpei and other liberals urged the demonstrating students to return to the classroom but chen duxiu and li dazhao frustrated with the inadequacy of cultural change urged more radical political action 32 they used their roles as peking university faculty to organize marxist study groups and the first meeting of the chinese communist party li called for fundamental solutions but hu criticized it as abstract calling for more study of questions less study of isms 33 the younger followers who followed li and chen into organized politics included mao zedong other students heeded hu shih s call to return to their studies the new approaches shaped scholarship for the next generation the historian gu jiegang for instance pioneered the application of the new history he studied at columbia university to classical chinese texts in the doubting antiquity movement 34 gu also inspired his students in the study of chinese folk traditions which had been ignored or dismissed by confucian scholars 35 education was high on the new culture agenda cai yuanpei headed a new education society and university students joined the mass education movement of james yen and tao xingzhi which promoted literacy as a foundation for wider political participation many of the leaders of the kuomintang such as liao zhongkai hu hanmin and dai jitao as well as communist members of the kuomintang such as li dazhao participated in the new culture movement these figures played a major role in the restructuring of the kuomintang along soviet lines in 1922 1924 36 journalism and public opinion edit chinese newspaper journalism was modernized in the 1920s according to international standards thanks to the influence of the new culture movement the roles of journalist and editor were professionalized and became prestigious careers the business side gained importance and with a greater emphasis on advertising and commercial news the main papers in shanghai such as shenbao moved away from the advocacy journalism that characterized the 1911 revolutionary period 37 much of what they reported shaped narratives and realities amongst those who were interested in what was becoming the new culture movement 31 outside the main centers the nationalism promoted in metropolitan dailies was not as distinctive as localism and culturalism 38 in 1924 indian nobel laureate rabindranath tagore held numerous lectures in china he argued that china could encounter trouble by integrating too much progressive and foreign thoughts into chinese society liberal ideals were a major component of the new culture movement democracy became a vital tool for those frustrated with the unstable condition of china whereas science became a crucial instrument to discard the darkness of ignorance and superstition 39 new culture intellectuals advocated and debated a wide range of cosmopolitan solutions that included science technology individualism music and democracy leaving to the future the question of what organization or political power could carry them out the anti imperialist and populist violence of the mid 1920s soon overwhelmed new culture intellectual inquiry and culture 40 evaluations and changing views edit orthodox historians viewed the new culture movement as a revolutionary break with feudal thought and social practice and the seedbed of revolutionary leaders who created the chinese communist party and went on to found the people s republic of china in 1949 mao zedong wrote that the may 4th movement marked a new stage in china s bourgeois democratic revolution against imperialism and feudalism and argued that a powerful camp made its appearance in the bourgeois democratic revolution a camp consisting of the working class the student masses and the new national bourgeoisie 41 historians in the west also saw the movement as marking a break between tradition and modernity but in recent decades chinese and foreign historians now commonly argue that the changes promoted by new culture leaders had roots going back several generations and thus were not a sharp break with tradition which in any case was quite varied as much as an acceleration of earlier trends 42 research over the last fifty years also suggests that while radical marxists were important in the new culture movement there were many other influential leaders including anarchists conservatives christians and liberals the re evaluation while it does not challenge the high evaluation of the thinkers and writers of the period does not accept their self image as cultural revolutionaries 43 other historians further argue that mao s communist revolution did not as it claimed fulfill the promise of new culture and enlightenment but rather betrayed its spirit of independent expression and cosmopolitanism 44 yu yingshi a student of the new confucian qian mu recently defended confucian thought against the new culture condemnation he reasoned that late imperial china had not been stagnant irrational and isolated conditions that would justify radical revolution but that late qing thinkers were already taking advantage of the creative potential of confucius 45 xu jilin a shanghai intellectual who reflects liberal voices agreed in effect with the orthodox view that the new culture movement was the root of the chinese communist revolution but valued the outcome differently new culture intellectuals said xu saw a conflict between nationalism and cosmopolitanism in their struggle to find a rational patriotism but the cosmopolitan movement of the 1920s was replaced by a new age of nationalism like a wild horse xu continued jingoism once unbridled could no longer be restrained thus laying the foundations for the eventual outcomes of the history of china during the first half of the twentieth century 46 see also edit new life movement 1934 east west cultural debate total westernization new youth may fourth
