The New Culture Movement is an anti-feudal ideological emancipation movement initiated by some advanced intellectuals in China in the early 20th century. Its basic slogan is to support "Mr. De" and "Mr. Sai", that is, to advocate democracy and science. Advocates of the New Culture Movement, with the evolutionist view as the main weapon, lashed out at the "seeking sages and sages" represented by Confucius, vigorously advocated new morality, opposed old morality, advocated new literature and opposed classical Chinese.

19 15 September Youth Magazine was founded in Shanghai, and later renamed New Youth, and the New Culture Movement began. This movement has effectively attacked and shaken the long-standing dominance of feudal orthodoxy and awakened a generation of young people. Intellectuals in China, especially young people, have been baptized by western democratic and scientific ideas, thus opening the floodgates and curbing the influx of new ideas.

Progressive intellectuals rallied around New Youth, held high the banner of democracy and science, and lashed out at the feudal forces of restoring ancient ways from political views, academic thoughts, ethics, literature and art. With the development of the New Culture Movement, New Youth actually became the ideological leadership center of the New Culture Movement. Since the publication of 19 18, Volume 4, Issue 1, New Youth has changed the vernacular, adopted new punctuation marks and published some new poems, which has played an important role in the dissemination of ideas and the development of literary creation.

Especially the great writer and thinker Lu Xun, 19 18 published the first vernacular novel Diary of a Madman in the history of modern literature in China in May. He mercilessly lashed out at the old ethics, pointing out that the word "cannibalism" was hidden behind feudal morality, and cannibalism "contained poison in words and a knife in laughter". The history of China's feudal rule for more than two thousand years is the history of cannibalism, declaring that "cannibalism will never be tolerated in the future, and people will live in the world".
