百年回望及经验启示:《新青年》视野下青年的使命担当

Centennial Review and Enlightenment:Youth’s Mission under the Perspective of New Youth

一百多年前,为唤醒广大青年承担起挽救民族危亡的历史使命,陈独秀在上海创办《青年杂志》,后改名《新青年》,旨在使广大青年和知识分子摆脱封建思想的禁锢,接受西方民主和科学思想的洗礼。但是,传统文化与西方文化共同作用下形成的社会不良风气侵蚀、由于早婚等引起的青年身体不良健康状况以及西方社会思潮影响下传统精神家园崩塌等等,成为青年勇担历史使命的三大障碍。要实现从“旧青年”向“新青年”的根本转变,就必须革除青年思想中腐败堕落部分,重建“新鲜之信仰”,用青春之我创造青春之中华。百年后的今天,《新青年》当年对青年的重要启蒙作用对于当下培育勇担民族复兴大任的时代青年仍具有重要启示意义。

More than a hundred years ago,in order to awaken the youth to take on the historical mission of saving the nation from peril,Chen Duxiu founded the Youth Magazine in Shanghai,which was later renamed New Youth,aiming to free the youth and intellectuals from the shackles of feudal thinking and accept the baptism of Western democracy and scientific thinking.However,the erosion of bad social ethos formed under the combined effect of traditional culture and Western culture,the overall poor health of the young people caused by early marriage,and the collapse of traditional spiritual homes under the influence of Western social thoughts have become the three major obstacles for the young people to bravely assume the historical mission.To realize the fundamental change from the“old youth”to the“new youth”,it is necessary to get rid of the corrupt and degenerate parts of youth thinking,rebuild the“fresh faith”,and use the youth themselves to create a youthful China.Today,a hundred years later,the important enlightenment effect of New Youth on youths has important enlightenment significance for the cultivation of young people of the age who are brave to shoulder the responsibility of national rejuvenation..
