Abstract:The May Fourth New Culture Movement under revolutionary history paradigm laid too much emphasis on its radical and revolutionary nature, thus caused many problems that need our re-examination, such as the recognition of vernacular Chinese and overall westernization. Though the vernacular Chinese is simple and popular, its disadvantages cannot be ignored. Classical Chinese is elegant in language and perfect in form, while the vernacular Chinese is far from this. The inherent recognition criticized that the new culture movement was an overall westernization and complete sublation of China’s traditional culture, but it was not the case. Chinese culture will be diversified and coexist with other cultures, inherit the ancient and present and exchange between the East and West.
