如何理解五四运动是新民主主义革命的开端

How to Understand May 4th Movement of 1919 was the Beginning of New Democratic Revolution

改革开放以来,围绕五四运动是否是新民主主义革命开端问题的讨论成为学术界的一个热点。争论的焦点在于如何看待五四运动的性质。新民主主义革命实际上存在狭义和广义两种含义。狭义的新民主主义革命,就是无产阶级领导的民主革命;广义的新民主主义革命,则是指发生在十月革命后的中国民主革命。五四运动产生了新民主主义革命的因素,五四运动是广义的新民主主义革命的开端;也是狭义的新民主主义革命的开端。五四运动后资产阶级领导的民主主义运动,其本身虽仍是旧民主主义性质的运动,但因为与无产阶级领导的革命运动的联合,所以具有明显的新民主主义革命的属性。

Since the reform and opening up, the discussion on whether May Fourth Movement is the beginning of the new demo-cratic revolution has been a hot topic in academic circle, and the debating focus lies in how to understand the nature of May 4thMovement. New democratic revolution in fact has the meanings in such narrow sense and in broad sense. New democratic revolu-tion in narrow sense is the democratic revolution led by the proletariat while new democratic revolution in broad sense is the demo-cratic revolution in China after the Russian October Revolution. May 4th Movement produced the factors of new democratic revolu-tion, was the beginning of new democratic revolution in narrow sense and was also the beginning of new democratic revolution inbroad sense. New democratic movement led by the bourgeoisie after May 4th Movement was old democratic movement itself in na-ture but has significant nature of new democratic revolution because of its unification with the revolutionary movements led bythe proletariat
