In this Kings and Generals Age of Conquest: the Fall and Rise of China Series episode we discuss the New Culture Movement.

In the aftermath of World War I, China faced humiliation at the Paris Peace Conference, where secret deals undermined its interests. This discontent fueled the New Culture Movement, a progressive wave in the 1910s and 1920s that sought to modernize China by challenging traditional Confucian values. Intellectuals like Chen Duxiu and Lu Xun emerged, advocating for a vernacular writing system to replace the outdated classical Chinese, promoting democracy, science, and women's rights.

The movement was characterized by six key themes: the need for a modern writing system, the rejection of patriarchal family structures, the desire for China to be recognized as a legitimate nation, the adoption of scientific approaches, the pursuit of democracy and human rights, and a shift from a past-focused mindset to a future-oriented one.

As intellectuals critiqued traditional norms, they also inspired a feminist movement, pushing for women's education and participation in society. The movement's ideals resonated with the youth, who became the vanguard for change.

Despite the challenges, including the rise of warlordism, the New Culture Movement laid the groundwork for the May Fourth Movement in 1919, marking a pivotal moment in China's quest for modernization and self-determination. This era represented a profound transformation, as China sought to redefine its identity and aspirations in a rapidly changing world.
