New Culture Movement Draft

History
The New Culture Movement was an expression used to describe the events that followed the May Fourth Movement. The May Fourth Movement was one of the first acts of nationalism that had become of symbol of the New Cultural Movement. Wenhua yundong (cultural movement) is the term used to refer to what happened after the May Fourth movement. As the cultural movement became associated with "revolution in thought" (思想革命 "sixiang geming") it was also considered the foundation for all the other changes that would then occur. As the term was assumed to be reformist, wenhua yundong sometimes would have the prefix "new".

Xin wenhua yundong (New Culture Movement) emerged after Chen Duxiu published his recommendations of what cultural modernity should be in the 1920s. He founded the Youth Magazine (青年雜誌 "Qingnian zazhi"), which then became New Youth (新青年 "xin qingnian"), in 1915. Some of the most influential manifestos to help instigate the movement were titled: "To Youth" ( 敬告青年 "jinggao qingnian"), "1916" (一九一六年 "yijiuyiliu nian"), and "Our Final Realization" (吾人最後之覺悟 "wuren zuihou zhi juewu").
