The New Culture Movement and the May Fourth Movement are closely connected in the long history, but they are different. Behind this close connection and difference lies much value worthy of in-depth study.

Chen Duxiu's scientific concepts are very outstanding when viewed alone, and they are extremely closely related to those two important movements. Regardless of the specific relationship between the two, there is no doubt about this.

When the New Culture Movement was raging, the flags of "democracy" and "science" were flying high over China's intellectual circles.

At that time, many progressive people had expectations. They hoped that in this way, they could get rid of the shackles of the old culture.

In Chinese society at that time, old concepts such as feudal ethics and ethics were deeply rooted in people's hearts. Even in some ancient schools, feudal ideas such as the Three Cardinal Guidelines and the Five Constant Virtues are still taught to students.

The scientific outlook advocated by progressives is to replace superstitious thinking with rational thinking.

They advocated observing the world from a scientific attitude and reconsidering many traditional concepts.

Hu Shi and others actively promoted the vernacular movement. From a scientific perspective, this movement was actually a language revolution. It enables the spread of knowledge to more people with ease and precision.

During that special period, the scientific concepts advocated by the New Culture Movement laid a solid ideological foundation for social change.

At that time, it had a profound impact on many young students, prompting them to begin to doubt traditional teaching methods and the feudal family system.

Many schools have also begun to try to introduce advanced Western teaching concepts and scientific knowledge courses.

The outbreak of the May Fourth Movement injected new vitality into the original scientific concepts.

At that time, many patriotic students took to the streets, with a strong desire to save the country.

At this time, scientific concepts and patriotic feelings were closely integrated.

Science during the May Fourth Movement was not only a knowledge concept, but also became a powerful tool to promote social change.

Patriots conducted an in-depth analysis of the unequal treaties imposed by the great powers. They used scientific methods to reveal the true face behind these unequal treaties.

In this era, young intellectuals have closely linked science with national rejuvenation. The connotation of science has been extended, making more ordinary people aware of the necessity of social change.

In some big cities, people began to actively participate in patriotic actions such as boycotting Japanese goods. Part of the reason behind this was inspired by new scientific concepts.

Chen Duxiu's early scientific views were influenced by the times.

He lived in a period when the feudal dynasty collapsed and Western ideas poured in.

During his studies and early revolutionary struggles, he began to slowly realize that scientific thinking played a vital role in destroying the old system.

He witnessed the superstition that confused Chinese medicine and witchcraft affecting the people in traditional society, and determined to use a scientific attitude to innovate the public's ideas.

He diligently wrote articles and spread scientific ideas. His magazines frequently published content criticizing feudal superstition. He also popularized Western scientific achievements to the public.

He hoped that through this method, more people would adopt scientific ways of living, such as rationally arranging diet and labor in different seasons. These were all concrete manifestations of his promotion of scientific concepts.

The wave of the May Fourth Movement impacted Chen Duxiu's thinking.

He witnessed a huge explosion of people's patriotic power led by scientific thinking.

During this period, his scientific outlook began to pay more attention to the relationship between politics and science.

He recognized that scientific ideas could serve as a means of mobilizing people to participate in political movements.

He no longer simply advocates the promotion of scientific spirit at the theoretical level, but closely links scientific knowledge with political missions such as social change and national liberation.

In his speeches, he repeatedly called on young people to use scientific methods to explore social and political issues and extend the scientific spirit advocated by the May Fourth Movement to the field of political change.

Chen Duxiu's later scientific outlook showed the characteristics of symbolization, personification and politicization.

In the complex historical background of that time, science was regarded as a symbol of progress.

He himself became a representative of the scientific spirit, and his actions prompted many people to think more deeply about scientific concepts.

In the political field, science became a powerful support for him to promote political reforms.

In the revolutionary struggles in some places, propaganda and agitation under the banner of science are increasing day by day.

During workers' strikes, organizers clarified their legitimate rights and interests demands based on scientific evidence, and revealed the political role of scientific concepts in real struggles.

Many years have passed, but Chen Duxiu's scientific concepts are still inspiring today.

The relationship between science and politics in modern society still needs to be reasonably defined.

A correct understanding of the scientific outlook can avoid going to the extreme of scientific supremacy or political supremacy.

Nowadays, scientific decision-making thinking is needed in some major scientific research projects and policy formulation.

In the field of civic education, scientific thinking should be promoted so that the public can engage in discussion and participation in social affairs based on rational analysis.

The formulation of environmental protection policies must be based on science and take into account the aspirations of the people.

By observing the development of Chen Duxiu's scientific outlook and its connection with the May 4th Movement, we can clearly understand the lessons that history has given us.

So, do you think how can we learn from these past historical lessons more effectively in the process of promoting scientific spirit in modern society?
