This book examines in detail the basic trajectory of the cultural
transformation and brings to light the extrinsic conditions and
intrinsic mechanisms involved. It focuses on the period from after
the Opium Wars to the New Culture Movement, as the New Culture
Movement can be considered a pivotal phase in the cultural
transformation of modern-day China. The New Culture Movement was a
revolutionary eruption triggered by the accumulation of all the new
qualitative cultural factors since the Opium Wars. Superficially,
the movement’s goal seemed to be to overthrow the traditional
culture. But in essence its true objective was to conduct an
overall “screening” of that culture. The book elaborates a
broad variety of points in this context, including: the ideological
and cultural evolution following the Opium Wars; the pressing
challenges faced by “Zhong Ti”; the initial shaping of social,
public and cultural spaces and major trends in ideological and
cultural transformation at the end of the Qing Dynasty; the
political disarray and conflicts between the new and old ideology
in the first years of the Republic; the rise of the New Culture
Movement; and the role of conservatism in the transition to a
modern culture.
