摘要
The New Culture Movement aimed to criticize feudal despotism, and reach the goal of rebuilding the foundation of a new culture by clearing away dregs in traditional culture. Regarding the outstanding traditional culture of China, the New Culture Movement did not hold a totally negative attitude; instead, it emphasized totake a scientific spirit in the investigation into traditional culture, and put the thought of traditional culture into a modem system for the revival of traditional culture while it broke with the tradition of studies of Confucian classics.
新文化运动所要“猛勇”攻击的，是封建专制主义，并通过清除传统文化当中沉淀的渣滓，达到重建新文化之基础的目标。同时，新文化运动对于中国优秀的传统文化，并非持全盘否定的态度，而是在破除经学传统之时，强调以科学精神研究传统文化，将其思想纳入现代学科体系当中而使之重新焕发生机。
