Research Of Du Yaquan's Reconcile Thought During The May Fourth Movement Era

The May Fourth Movement era is an important period for the transformation of Chinese society from traditional society to modern society.In terms of ideology and culture,Chinese society also has a heated debate on the issue of eastern and Western cultures.This is not only a discussion about what kind of culture to build,how to build a certain culture,but also a discussion about the nature and direction of social,national and national changes,which has a profound impact the fate of the nation and the choice of the country's way out.The theory of cultural harmony is one of the most influential cultural propositions,among which Du Yaquan,the editor in chief of Oriental Magazine,is the most representative.His debate with Chen Duxiu about the cultural differences between the East and the West and the advantages and disadvantages of the two sides has aroused wide attention and participation of the ideological circles.Li Dazhao,Liang Qichao,Liang Shuming,etc.have also made a lot of contributions to the issues involved in the debate Different views are put forward.Although the debate between the radicals and the conciliators ended with the victory of the radicals in the May 4th movement,both sides showed their historical value and academic significance in the debate.The depth and influence of the debate far exceeded the disputes between westernization and conservatism,between reform and westernization,between revolution and constitutionalism,and deepened the place of Ideological and cultural change in social change Position and function promoted the cultural enlightenment.Based on the recognition of the differences in the nature of the eastern and Western cultures,Du Yaquan's thought of reconciliation puts forward that based on China's traditional and inherent culture,the harmony between the eastern and Western cultures and the continuation of the new and old thoughts should be pursued in a steady way,and at the same time,he hopes that Chinese culture can make an important contribution to the creation of new cultures in the world;on the study and absorption of Western learning,Du Yaquan The rational attitude of "conditional tolerance" against the blind all-round Westernization promotes people's thinking about the unity of cultural nationality and the world.The idea of reconciliation represented by Du Yaquan is not an obstinate conservative,nor an opponent of the new cultural movement,but a relatively moderate and ideal construction plan aiming at the radical ideas and words of overallWesternization.Although it has many references in academic value,it also has many defects,such as the lack of in-depth understanding of western culture,the lack of sufficient sublation of Chinese inherent culture,the lack of understanding of the inertia of feudal tradition,and it is difficult to stand the test of practice,but it should be evaluated in an objective and rational manner,not only to see the rich ideological resources it contains.To affirm and absorb it,at the same time,we should also see its theoretical defects and practical deficiencies,which should not be blindly raised.To help us to objectively understand history,to reflect on the modern age rationally,to take a rational view of the relationship between tradition and modernity,to extract its essence,to discard its dross,to build a socialist culture with Chinese characteristics and to promote Chinese culture to the world.
