The New Culture Movement Favorite 

The New Culture Movement was initiated by Chen Duxiu, Li Dazhao, Lu Xun, Hu Shi, Cai Yuanpei, Qian Xuan and other writers who had received Western education (called the new-style education at the time). It is an ideological and cultural innovation and literary revolutionary movement. The New Culture Movement began with the founding of the "New Youth" magazine, which gathered a large number of progressive literati and promoted democracy and science to refuse feudalism in a variety of literary genres such as novels, prose, and arguments. Among them, the reform of vernacular is a key part. For example, as the founder of Chinese proletarian literature, Lu Xun advocated the abolition of ancient prose, used colloquial vernacular for literary creation, and published China’s first vernacular novel, laying the foundation for later modern Chinese literature.
