摘要
Recent years have witnessed a phenomenon in Chinese academia, which denies the inevitable connection between May Fourth New Literature and the New Culture Movement during the May Fourth Movement period, and often views fragments of civilization before the New Culture Movement as the real form of kernel culture of New Literature. In fact, the emergence of New Literature had to depend upon the intense and profound revolutionary movement of new culture, and the May Fourth New Culture Movement fostered a totally new literary form with its combined strength, and constituted the new ideological qualities of New Literature by recourse to the values of New Culture centered on democracy and science.
近些年学界出现否定五四新文学与五四新文化运动之间必然联系的现象，常常将新文化运动以前的“文明的碎片”当作新文学核心文化的本体。其实，新文学的产生必须依赖新文化强烈而深刻的革命运动，五四新文化运动以其热能、动能和势能的汇聚之力才能催生出崭新的新文学形态，而以民主与科学为核心的新文化价值观才能构成新文学的思想新质。
