What is the main content of the new culture movement?
The New Culture Movement is an ideological and cultural innovation and literary revolutionary movement initiated by Hu Shi, Chen Duxiu, Lu Xun, Qian, Li Dazhao and other people who have received western education (then called New Learning).

19 15, Chen Duxiu published an article in New Youth (formerly known as Youth Magazine), advocating democracy and science (formerly known as Mr. De and Mr. Sai). This movement dealt a heavy blow to the traditional ethics that ruled China for more than two thousand years, stimulated people's democratic consciousness, promoted the development of modern science in China, and laid an ideological foundation for the spread of Marxism in China and the outbreak of the May 4th patriotic movement.

The main contents of the new culture movement:

As a vigorous ideological revolution, the main content of the New Culture Movement is the specific practical activities around "four propositions and four oppositions". In the early stage, its essence was the struggle between the new bourgeois culture and the old feudal culture. In the later period, advanced intellectuals vigorously promoted Marxism as the theme.

The initial new culture movement, the main content has three aspects:

1, advocate democratic science and oppose tyranny, ignorance and superstition. This is also the slogan of the New Culture Movement, which was first put forward by Chen Duxiu. The "democracy" he said refers to French bourgeois democratic politics, and the "science" he said refers to natural science and scientific views on objective things.

2. Advocate new morality and oppose old morality. The old morality mainly refers to the Confucian traditional morality represented by Confucius' theory, and its core content is the three cardinal guides and five permanents. The new morality refers to equality between men and women, personality liberation and so on.

3. Advocate new literature and oppose old literature. The New Culture Movement is also a literary revolution. New Youth put forward the slogan of advocating vernacular Chinese, opposing classical Chinese, advocating new literature and opposing old literature. New Youth has published Hu Shi's Literary Improvement and Chen Duxiu's Literary Revolution-the literary revolution has begun.

There is a concrete example: in literature, Hu Shi also put forward the famous eight noes in "On the Improvement of Literature":

One said: don't make words that have nothing to say;

Second, don't say moaning without illness;

Three: no code;

Four: don't groan without illness;

Five: no cliches;

Six: don't write ungrammatical words;

Seven: Do not imitate the ancients;

Eight sayings: don't avoid common words and idioms.

He believes that the language of new literature is vernacular and the style is free, so that new content and new ideas can be injected.
