This paPer, from the angle of communicative medium, takes "MorningPaPer Supplement" as an exarnple, seeking for the form and state, the motiveforce, the natUe and the characteristic of early construction and development ofChinese modem literatUre, trying to get some new understanding and discovery."Morning PaPer SuPplemeflt" is one of the "four famous supplements"about Chinese modern literature during the May 4,h period .TogeTher with theother progressive suPplements, It initiated the glorious tradition which has beenan influence on the development of Chinese Iiterary supplements f spreadingidea and supp1ying knowledge in art form, inheriting and enhancing theifltellectllals' humanity spirits. At the very beginning, "Morning PaperSuppIement" had c1ose relationship with Chinese modem literatUre. Manyillustrious masters in literary history had more or less connection with it.TherefOre, it became one of the colIecting and distributing centers of the earlymodern literary writers with their works and opinions. However, the researchwork on "Morning PaPer Supplement "is far away from sufficiency andpenetration. There leaves much inadequacy to make up and exceed .This iswhat is going to be illustrated in this paPer.Only in a epoch with groups, communicative medium can demonstrate itsimportant meaning to human development. But in the period of May 4th, Chinajust stepped into modern society,in which the function of communicativemedium should stand prominent .But this is overlooked by us for a longtime .Until today when we experienced the great influence on literWdevelopment by infOrmation technology,we began to realize the enormousenergy of communicatve medium. From this aspect, commllnicative mediumwill no doubt open up a brand new way for Chinese modern literature research,get more valuable view and idea, as welI as draw more meaningfuI inspiration'from today's literny development.This paper probes into the relationship between "Morning PaperSupplement" and new literatUre in May 4th period from mainly three aspects."Enlightenment" was the main trend of the New Cultural Movement inMay 4,h period. "Morning PaPer SuPplement" upheld the course, transferred thenew cultural idea, yet meanwhile, it didn't easily yield to the publicrequirement and interest, so it becarne the backbone of communicative mediumin enlightenmellt time.

Thirdly, "Morning PaPer Supplement" hadspecial contriblltion on humaniZaion of science and suPported the all-roundcontriction of new literatue in May 4,h period with all its strength. And what'sworth mefltioning here is that, "Morning PaPer Supp1ement"'s unique feamre of"Question Consciousness" helped the enlighenment and made outstandingeffect. It is on the basis ofcomPletC underStanding on "group age" that this partspeaks highly of the conscious enlightenment idea and the persistent pursuit ofits own ideal in "Morning PaPer SuPplement". While the most importancontent of this part is the deep concern about the humanization of science andthe raise of "Question Consciousness" on "Morning PaPer Supp1ement".The fOrmer research only focused on the dissemination and populdrization ofscieotific knowledge that "Morning PaPer SuPp1ement" did as the other culturalcommunication supplemellts, but neglected the active effoTts "Morning PaPerSuPplement" made on the humAnzation of science.
