Beijing Memorial Hall of New Cultural Movement

The New Culture Movement of the mid 1910s and 1920s sprang from the disillusionment with traditional Chinese culture. Scholars like Chen Duxiu, Cai Yuanpei, Li Dazhao, Lu Xun, Zhou Zuoren, He Dong, and Hu Shih, had classical educations but began to lead a revolt against Confucianism. They called for the creation of a new Chinese culture based on global and western standards, especially democracy and science. Beijing Memorial Hall of New Cultural Movement is located inside the former seat of Peking University’s Red Building at Shatan North Street, Dongcheng District. Peking University is the center of the New Culture Movement and the cradle of the May Fourth Movement, where the scholars wrote articles and pioneer magazines and newspaper published. In April 2002, Beijing Memorial Hall of New Cultural Movement was inaugurated officially, and ranked among the first batch of red tourism scenic areas designated by the State and Beijing Municipal Government.
