The year 1919 changed Chinese culture radically, but in a way that
completely took contemporaries by surprise. At the beginning of the
year, even well-informed intellectuals did not anticipate that, for
instance, baihua (aprecursor of the modern Chinese language),
communism, Hu Shi and Chen Duxiu would become important and famous
- all of which was very obvious to them at the end of the year.
Elisabeth Forster traces the precise mechanisms behind this
transformation on the basis of a rich variety of sources, including
newspapers, personal letters, student essays, advertisements,
textbooks and diaries. She proposes a new model for cultural
change, which puts intellectual marketing at its core. This book
retells the story of the New Culture Movement in light of the
diversifi ed and decentered picture of Republican China developed
in recent scholarship. It is a lively and ironic narrative about
cultural change through academic infi ghting, rumors and conspiracy
theories, newspaper stories and intellectuals (hell-)bent on
selling agendas through powerful buzzwords.
