The Spread and Limitations of the New Culture Movement:A Survey of the New Man and the Young China Association as a Perspective
The New Culture Movement spread rapidly throughout the country after the May Fourth Movement,and in just one year it encountered problems such as unclear main idea,different approaches,and biased aspects,which triggered many questions and criticisms.In order to understand the real situation and try to improve it,the New Man and the Young China Association conducted organized surveys of the actual cir-cumstances of the New Culture Movement in most parts of the country(Hubei,Guizhou and Guangxi were not covered),in order to break the monopoly of the New Culture Movement by the New Culture Faction and open up a different way of progress.The survey results showed that the situation in Henan,Hunan and Zhe-jiang was encouraging,while Shandong,Anhui and Sichuan had shown some improvement,and the rest of the places,including Beijing and Shanghai,were not optimistic.The main positive aspect was the increase and dissemination of publications,while the drawbacks included the concentration of the movement in the cities and the intelligentsia,the lack of rationality,the failure to popularize it throughout society and at all levels,the disorganization of students under high pressure,and the emergence of new idols.How to break through the bottleneck of superficiality and shallowness became the key to the depth and durability of the New Culture Movement.
