白话文运动与思想解放——重思晚清至“五四”时期的白话文运动

The Vernacular Movement and the Ideological Emancipation——Rethink on the Vernacular Movement Which Lasted from the Late Qing Dynasty to the May 4th Period

从晚清至"五四"期间的白话文运动,是围绕富国自强的时代命题,在功利主义影响下,运用白话作为革命武器,在自我意识的提升过程中,掌控舆论话语权,终结文言正统地位,摆脱传统礼制和道德体系束缚的文化和思想解放运动。其时代命题决定了白话文运动的"西化"归旨,也决定了其个人思想解放的程度,及其新文化体系的价值取向。

The Vernacular Movement which lasted from the late Qing Dynasty to the May 4th period was a cultural and ideological emancipation movement. The revolutionaries used the vernacular as a weapon to hold the power of speech and terminate the classical Chinese period, to make the goal of national rejuvenation and prosperity a reality. In that period, almost all of the revolutionaries thought that westernization meant modernization , so the value orientation of the Vernacular Movement and the ideological emancipation Movement were limited by the historical mission.
