Years have passed, and you still don't knowMay Fourth Movement
In the famous May Fourth Movement, young students played a key vanguard role. This was emphasized in 1979 when commemorating the 60th anniversary of the May Fourth Movement.
May Fourth Movement": Forever Spiritual Beacon In 1999, ** in commemoration"May Fourth Movement"At the 80 th anniversary meeting, the evaluation of this movement was: "The 'May Fourth Movement' is a great patriotic revolutionary movement that is thoroughly anti-imperialist and anti-feudal, with advanced young intellectuals as the vanguard and the broad masses of the people participating, and is also a great ideological emancipation movement and a new cultural movement. ”
Today, a century has passed, but the spirit of the May Fourth Movement is still widely mentioned and inherited. At the Paris Peace Conference of 1919, China was invited as the victorious power to discuss how to deal with the defeated countries and how to divide the fruits of victory equally.
However, China's position at the conference was seriously ignored and weakened, which made the Chinese people deeply angry and dissatisfied. It is in this case,"May Fourth Movement"The outbreak broke out, and the Chinese youth and people issued a strong ** and protest.
The May Fourth Movement is an important historical event in China's modern history, which is not only a symbol of the struggle of the Chinese people for national independence and national dignity, but also a symbol of the Chinese youth and people in their pursuit of truth and opposition to feudalism and imperialism. "
May Fourth Movement"The spirit is the Chinese people's pursuit of freedom, equality, democracy and science, and the love and commitment of the Chinese people to the country, the nation and the future.
Therefore, no matter how times change,"May Fourth Movement"The spirit is always worth remembering and inheriting. It reminds us to dare to pursue the truth, dare to oppose all injustice, have a patriotic heart, and have the courage to take responsibility. "
May Fourth Movement"It is a valuable asset of the Chinese people and a valuable asset of ours.
In World War I, China, as the victorious power, was supposed to share the fruits of victory with Western countries, but at the Paris Peace Conference, China was ignored by other countries, and even its normal rights and interests were not guaranteed.
The representative of our country proposed the abolition of the spheres of influence of other countries in our country, the demand that the armies of other countries leave our country, and the abolition of the requirement for the existence of "twenty-one articles". However, other countries were indifferent to this, and even continued to harm China's rights and interests, and transferred all German rights and interests in the Shandong region to Japan.
This series of events shows that although China has contributed to the victory of other countries, it has not received the respect and preferential treatment it deserves, but has suffered the fate of partition again, which is simply a loss to its wife and soldiers.
When news of the diplomatic failure at the Paris Peace Conference reached China, it aroused the anger of many patriots. They strongly urged the people** to ignore the outcome of the conference and refuse to sign the agreement.
This event sparked nationwide demonstrations and became one of the important events to promote the process of modern Chinese history.
Under the influence of the domestic **, the representatives at that time did try to fight again, but due to the tough attitude of the foreign powers, Beiyang ** finally compromised and signed a contract to transfer Germany's rights and interests in Shandong to Japan.
After the signing of the contract in Beiyang**, patriots pointed the finger at **, and students took to the streets to hold demonstrations. In fact, after the Paris Peace Conference rejected China's demands, students began to put pressure on Beiyang through demonstrations.
On May 4, 1919, students from Beijing colleges and universities gathered at Tiananmen Square under the banners of "swearing to fight to the death to return Qingdao to China" and "recovering Shandong's rights", and demanded "internal punishment and external struggle for sovereignty".
Some students even stormed Cao Rulin's home to demonstrate. The action of the students in Beijing has been echoed by students from other places, who have also held various marches.
According to statistics, students from more than 20 schools in Beijing alone participated in the school strike. In addition to students in Beijing, workers in Shanghai also launched strike action, and in June, the focus of the May Fourth Movement shifted from Beijing to Shanghai.
At this time, the literary world published articles in support of the student and workers' movements. For China, the May Fourth Movement was a milestone in China's modern history, marking the beginning of a thorough and uncompromising struggle against imperialism and feudalism.
Prior to the May Fourth Movement, the country was largely under the control of the imperialist powers, despite the high banner of independence. Since the Opium War, many patriots have put forward many plans to save the country and save the country, including "mastering the skills of the people to control the country" and establishing capitalism**, but none of them have achieved remarkable results.
In Chinese history, the feudal monarchy existed for more than 2,000 years, but after its end, China did not achieve real prosperity, and the people's life was still difficult, and the barren land was littered with corpses.
All these facts tell us that capitalism and feudalism cannot save China from the dire situation. However, with the development of the May Fourth Movement, the Chinese people began to realize that only the proletariat could save China by saving itself.
After the Opium Wars, China once relied on "kneeling and licking" imperialism in exchange for a brief period of tranquility. However, this approach has not brought about real change. In fact, the failure of the Paris Peace Conference and the outbreak of the May Fourth Movement revealed the true face of imperialism, which not only did not help us, but instead treated us as fat.
During World War I, although China was the victorious country, it was still treated unequally and life was difficult. All this has made people with lofty ideals realize that China is facing serious challenges.
Although many people did not see this fact clearly at first, the occurrence of the "May Fourth Movement" made more and more people begin to wake up. After the "May Fourth Movement," our party also successfully stepped onto the stage of history.
Before the May Fourth Movement, many people thought that capitalism could save China, but after this movement, people realized that only they could truly save themselves, and even the whole country.
The May Fourth Movement laid a solid foundation for the birth of the Communist Party of China, and then under the leadership of the Communist Party of China, the Chinese people finally established the People's Republic of China after 28 years of bloody struggle and opened a new chapter in Chinese history.
With the joint efforts of the proletariat, our Party has continued to struggle, and it took only 40 years to push China to a new height, and now China has been able to become independent on the global stage and is closer to realizing the historical grand plan of the Chinese dream of great rejuvenation.
The May Fourth Movement ushered in a new era for China, and it had a profound impact on China's social atmosphere and historical trends. And most importantly,"May Fourth Movement"To a large extent, it has promoted the ideological awakening of the Chinese and influenced the process of Chinese culture.
The May Fourth Movement: The Collision of New Culture and Old Culture The May Fourth Movement was a conflict and fusion of the national spirit and traditional culture with patriotism as the core. In the face of the diplomatic failure at the Paris Peace Conference, Chinese youths stood up and swore to defend the country's sovereignty with patriotic enthusiasm, waged a heroic struggle against the imperialist powers and Beiyang**, and promoted the upsurge of the patriotic movement.
The May Fourth Movement not only inherited China's national spirit with patriotism as the core, but also adhered to China's cultural roots. In this movement, China's traditional culture and Marxism were deeply integrated, opening up a new path for China's cultural development.
After the Opium War, China was in crisis, and one of the important reasons was the crisis of Chinese culture. However, the May Fourth Movement proved with practical actions that as long as we stick to our cultural roots and carry forward the spirit of patriotism, we will be able to overcome difficulties and achieve national rejuvenation.
The nation is in danger, and culture comes first. In the past, we focused too much on the resolution of national crises and neglected the importance of culture. Although the bourgeoisie has recognized this, it has not worked well in practice.
However, with the outbreak of the May Fourth Movement, people finally realized that only Marxism could shoulder the heavy responsibility of saving the national and cultural crisis. Since then, Marxism has developed rapidly in China.
After the "May Fourth Movement," although China's publishing houses also published some articles on Marxism, the number was limited and the people's attention to them was not high.
However, in the three years from 1919 to 1921, more than 130 articles on Marxism were published. The introduction of Marxism had a profound impact on Chinese culture.
Since the introduction of Marxism to China, the spiritual outlook of the Chinese people has undergone significant changes, from passive acceptance to active exploration. Marxism not only solved the crisis of traditional Chinese culture at that time, but also made people realize that we should use the method of dialectical unity to look at culture, give new content to traditional culture, eliminate dross, and retain the essence.
After the May Fourth Movement, the Chinese people took democracy and science as the banner to break free from the ideological shackles brought by traditional culture. Prior to this, the role of the gods was generally valued, and even after the imperial system had been overthrown, there were still many people who believed in the "divine right of kings" and looked forward to the gifts of the heavens.
However, the spread of Marxism changed this concept, and people began to receive scientific and cultural education, realizing that only through their own efforts can they create a good life.
The May Fourth Movement "opened a new chapter in China's ideology and culture, allowed people to break through the narrow spiritual shackles, saw a broader world, and forcefully refuted the old feudal and decadent ideas.
The campaign aroused a sense of public responsibility, and the young students proved their strong patriotic convictions with their actions, and their actions inspired people from all walks of life to join the reform movement one after another.
The May Fourth Movement also had a profound impact on Chinese dress and women's equality concepts. After the exercise, women began to choose more comfortable and "exposed" Western clothing, which marked the awakening and rise of women's consciousness.
At the same time, the movement also freed women from the shackles of feudal etiquette and began to pursue bold clothing, no longer bound by the traditional concept of "no skin can be exposed for a moment".
Overall, the May Fourth Movement was an important turning point in China's history, and it made great contributions to the progress and development of Chinese society.
The May Fourth Movement opened a new chapter in women's awakening and made the world realize the importance of women. In the years that followed, in order to enhance the country's protective power, we actively promoted women's education, so that women's right to education was strongly guaranteed.
Since then, many women have stopped relying on men, left the family and devoted themselves to work, and women's sense of independence has been further enhanced. The New Culture Movement also played a key role in promoting China's publishing industry.
As early as the Ming Dynasty, China already had a carving market, although the scale is not small, but the organization is not perfect, and there are problems in management. However, the promotion of the "May Fourth Movement" has led to the rapid development of China's publishing industry, the profit distribution mechanism has been optimized, and there is a professional team.
After the May Fourth Movement, China's publishing industry showed a vigorous development trend, and the number of copies published reached tens of thousands. All this is due to the enlightening effect of the "May Fourth Movement".
In 1921, China's ** industry prospered, with as many as 1,134 types of newspapers. "May Fourth Movement"It had a profound impact on China's higher education, and the idea of pragmatism spread in China, and Hu Shi spoke highly of Dewey's pragmatism.
In this context, China has carried out a comprehensive reform in terms of curriculum, teaching materials and teaching methods. In 1904, Zhang Zhidong and others founded China's first state-promulgated school system, but due to the development of society, this school system is obviously no longer suitable for Chinese society.
The North has tried to reform the school system, but there are still many drawbacks. At that time, people studying in the United States proposed to learn from the American school system, and in 1922, my country passed the "School System Reform Bill", which was later"Six-three-three"Academic.
This is because of the New Culture Movement and"May Fourth Movement"The development of the Western education system has made people begin to pay attention to the Western school system. In addition, in the later period of education, China also paid special attention to the use of scientific methods to cultivate students' personalities, and abandoned the past practice of sticking education and only reading the Four Books and Five Classics.
With the introduction of Western educational concepts, schools pay more and more attention to the thinking education of students. After the May Fourth Movement, new management institutions were established within each school, democratic management was implemented, and the single management mode of the previous school was changed.
Today, students can self-manage themselves through a variety of autonomous organizations, a system that is still widespread in China's primary and secondary schools. The May Fourth Movement was an unprecedented change for China, which had a far-reaching impact on the Chinese people and even the entire society.
Although 100 years have passed, the May Fourth Movement is still talked about, and its spirit has always inspired Chinese to forge ahead.
