碩士 / 東吳大學 / 歷史學系 / 95 / The significance of the May Fourth Protest and the New Culture Movement has been widely known in the study of Chinese modern history. Most researchers had laid emphasis on the date of the Protest as the watershed of the Movement and thus produced a view which always said that, before the Protest, the dynamic of the Movement has been socially established intellectuals while the students had become central figures only after the Protest took place. However, I believe this view needed to be re-examined. To explore the genuine role of the students, this study focuses on the formation of the “New Tide Society” (1919-1920) at the Beijing University which has been viewed as a direct reaction to the Movement. In my thesis, I try to argue that the Society had established certain social influences prior to the Protest. Through this analysis, I wish to show that the nation-wide influence gained by the students after the Protest was not at all coincidental and that they have came to play heavy roles in the Movement even before the outbreak of the protest, as contrary to popular belief.
This thesis consists of six chapters. Aside from the introduction and the conclusion, chapter 2 traces the roots of the “New Tide Society”, treating the school reform of the Beijing University after 1916 as general background, following the origin of the Society and its foundation from late 1917 through 1918. Chapter 3 examines the codes, personnel and all of the activities of the Society before the Protest, so arranged as to give a clear picture of the scheme and history of the Society previous to the Protest. Chapter 4 and 5 illustrates the primary aims of the Society before the Protest, which could practically be categorized into “democracy” and “science”. The materials utilized in these two chapters are gathered from the students’ views expressed in the Pre-Protest “New Tide” magazine and other periodicals, basing on these evidence, I wish to elucidate their intellectual perspective on “democracy” and “science” , as well as the characteristics of the Society’s political and social stances.
