Sino- Western Cultural Conciliationisms:Their Interaction During May 4th Movement

The May 4th Movement(1919)witnessed a new epoch of ideological and cultural exchanges between Europe and Asia, as well as those between different Asian countries. Accordingly,any investigation into "cultural conciliationism"demands a careful attention to this global background. It was then the mutual expectation of both the European and Asian scholars that demanded to conciliate the eastern and westem cultures. In Asia, those countries that responded most favorably were India, Japan, and China. Prompted by their Indian and Japanese counterparts, Chinese scholars strove to establish the Chinese culture in the world. Meanwhile, opinions swung in favor of the Chinese cultural conciliationists as the European theorists were remodeling their thoughts.
