Title: On the May Fourth Movement of New Culture from the View of Socialist Political Civilization
Abstract: Comrade Jiang Zemin put forward the theory of developing socialist democratic politics and constructing socialist political civilization, which pointed out the direction of our country's political development. Developing socialist democracy is the essence of constructing socialist political civilization. It is necessary to refer to the western theory on democracy and look for available resources in Chinese traditional culture in order to develop socialist democracy. People ever attempted to do this job in the May Fourth Movement of New Culture, but they made mistakes in both perceiving the western theory on democracy and criticising Chinese traditional culture. From the point of constructing socialist political civilization, this article re-understands the democracy conception and traditional culture during the May Fourth Movement, hoping that we can take some lessons and experience and avoid the previous mistakes made by our predecessor.
