Bewegung des vierten Mai
The May Fourth Movement was not a Renaissance, but an Enlightenment movement. The May Fourth Movement focused on opposing the old culture and promoting the new culture. As a continuation of the New Culture movement, the May Fourth Movement greatly influenced the cultural field. The slogans of "democracy" and "science" advocated in the New Culture Movement were designed to attack the old feudal culture and promote the new culture. Influenced by the New Culture Movement, the May Fourth Movement combined the spirit of democracy and science and inspired the society to change continuously under the leadership of the main force of the May Fourth Movement. This purpose can be summed up in a sentence from David:" was the turning point in China's search for literary modernity.". Lu Xun's "Diary of a Madman" and Hu Shi's vernacular Chinese show the writer's ideological and cultural changes during the May Fourth Movement. More ordinary people also began to try to get in touch with new cultures and learn excellent foreign cultures. Joseph once said: "This intellectual ferment had already had an effect in altering the outlook of China's new youth.". This new cultural atmosphere was of great help to China to abandon feudalism and promote modern literature development. After the May Fourth Movement, the Chinese modern female literature became literature with modern humanistic spirit, taking women as the subject of experience, thinking, aesthetics, and speech.
