| Summary: | 博士 === 國立政治大學 === 歷史學系 === 90 === The topic of this dissertation is to discuss the Movement for Rearranging the National Heritage since the 1920s. The dissertation first surveys the background of the movement, and explains how it rises is highly related to the New Culture Movement, and it could be regarded as the further extension of the New Culture Movement in academic sphere. Moreover, its main idea is to take the attitude of “transvaluation of all values” to thoroughly criticize the traditional Chinese culture and to achieve the goal of reforming the citizens’ thoughts.
The dissertation takes viewpoint from the cultural history to survey the process of the academic movement from rise to decline. The part will first explain the Peita’s scholars’ ideas of “Cheng-li kuo-ku”, not limited in the professional studying in the college, but from the beginning the idea makes the movement have the characteristic of focusing on turning to the contemporary society). Owing to the Peita’s scholars’ adoption of various newspapers and magazines to propagate and spread their ideas, the movement fast spread out in Chinese as the model of the newly culture movement after the revolution of the Chinese Literature. However, when the Peita’s scholars devoted themselves to proposing the movement of “Cheng-li kuo-ku”, the conflicts of the New and the Old in the Chinese intellectuals are still serious, and the condition results that people in the school of the New Culture Movement worry about the Movement of Rearranging the National Heritage from the beginning. Until the Movement, in Yangtze delta, transforms into the “Kuo-hsueh yun-tung”, owning the sense of reforming the tradition and simultaneously of exalting the Chinese glory, people in the school of the New Culture Movement, after a fierce argument, finally achieved a common consensus to stop the popular movement of “Cheng-li kuo-ku” and to make it become the work of few scholars’ professional studying.
On the other hand, the dissertation will take viewpoint from the academic history to explain how the school of the New Culture reformed the thoughts of the citizens from the literary propagation to the fields of academic studying gradually. This part particularly points out that in the beginning of the Movement of Rearranging the National Heritage, Hu Shih and his partners not only proposed the evidential research but also devoted to the work of philosophy. In fact, Hu Shih himself highly confirms the work of philosophy, and other Peita’s scholars’ and his own academic works are actually evidential research and also include the thoughts of Neo-Confucianism. Some scholars made a bold conclusion without sufficient evidences in order to achieve the goal of revolution of thoughts, and were attacked by their contemporary scholars. With the objective disciplines of the evidential research and under the condition of the more critical critics and challenges from the contemporary academic sphere, the scholars in the school of New Culture moved toward an academic road with the characteristic of evidential research in the half 1920s. Even though the evidential research had become the main current of the academy sphere, the conflicts in the intellectuals since the May Fourth Movement never disappeared suddenly but transformed into a circuitous way to continue under the surface of the evidential research.
