May Fourth movement (1919) A wave of debate and argument triggered by a student demonstration in Beijing on 4 May 1919, mainly against the terms of the
Versailles Treaty, which handed over the former German territory in the Shandong peninsula, as well as concessions which the Germans had forced from China, to the Japanese. In the following months there were hundreds of similar student demonstrations across the country, while a lively intellectual debate ensued, and was carried to a relatively popular level by a large number of magazines and newspapers. This re-evaluation of traditional Chinese culture in light of Western thought led to the widespread acceptance of the ‘new culture’, using some Western ideas to strengthen Chinese culture itself. This stimulated the growth of popular education and led to improvements in the emancipation of
women as traditions such as the binding of feet went rapidly out of fashion. The debate so generated led to the development of the
Guomindang, and the formation of the Chinese
Communist Party (1921).
