The May 4th Movement is the watershed of China's democratic revolution.Since the establishment of the Communist Party of China,it has attached great importance to the interpretation and commemoration of the May 4th Movement.The world today is undergoing profound changes unprecedented in a century.The May 4th commemoration is not only an act of responsibility by the young people of today to fulfill their historical commitment,but also a practical consideration for the CPC to lead the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.It is helpful for the Communist Party of China to construct the "May 4th" memorial discourse in the new era to sort out the change and invariance of the "May 4th" memorial discourse,explore the realistic enlightenment of the "May 4th" memorial and clarify the significance of the era.The Communist Party of China has four dimensions to interpret the historical significance of the May 4th Movement.From the perspective of communication discourse,the May 4th Movement is a part of the proletarian world revolution.From the perspective of revolutionary discourse,the May 4th Movement was the beginning of China's new democratic revolution.From the perspective of academic discourse,the May 4th Movement has the connotation of "new culture movement".From the perspective of political discourse,the May4 th Movement was a "patriotic and national salvation political action".Carrying out the May4 th commemoration has the practical function of awakening the collective political memory of the May 4th Movement,strengthening the political identity,enhancing the political emotion and building the political consensus.The construction of the "May 4th" memorial discourse of the Communist Party of China has different connotations in different historical periods.During the period of the new democratic revolution,the party's "May 4th" commemorative discourse aims at clarifying revolutionary tasks,uniting revolutionary forces,sketching out revolutionary prospects and elucidating the source of revolutionary spirit.During the period of socialist construction,the Party's "May 4th" commemorative discourse aims to construct the collective memory of the May 4th Movement,strengthen political identity,enhance the ability of political mobilization,and call on the masses to contribute to socialism.In the new period of reform and opening up,the "May 4th" Commemorative Discourse of the Party aims to call on the people to devote themselves actively to the cause of reform and opening up,emancipate their minds to follow the Party,serve the socialist modernization and make every effort to educate and train the youth of The Times.The evolution of the "May 4th" memorial discourse of the Communist Party of China has a rich theoretical basis.The spirit of the May Fourth Movement,with patriotism at its core,carries on in the same vein and keeps pace with The Times.The "May 4th" memorial discourse of the Party is combined with the main line of history and the purpose of The Times,pointing to the historical orientation of the new era.At the same time,the construction of the "May Fourth" discourse of the Party adheres to the principle of Marxist ideology,historical materialism,the value orientation of the people first and the inheritance and development of the May Fourth spirit,which shows the scientific,systematic and contemporary nature of the construction of the discourse system.In the past one hundred years,the Party has carried out the commemoration of the May Fourth Movement by disseminating and propagating the discourse of the May Fourth Movement through texts,reviewing the historical narrative and expounding the theme of The Times,and constructing collective memory with the help of the anniversary.It is helpful for the CPC in the new era to focus on the May Fourth spirit,enrich the connotation of the May Fourth era,strengthen its cultural confidence,give full play to the patriotism of the young people,and help realize the Chinese dream of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.
