Abstract:

During 1924-1926, China witnessed a transitional period between two key historical times from the May 4^th Period to the National Revolution. Under the stimulus of the drastically changing international environment, waves of discrepancies and conflicts took place in the enlightenment camp. The Modern Review camp and Yusi camp formed different cultural “customs” due to their different positions in the academic and cultural circle, and the conflicts between gentlemen and celebrated scholars broke out. Moreover, within the Yusi camp, ZHOU Zuo-ren’s disposition of a celebrated scholar and LU Xun’s character of a fighter had subtle differences. Thus, LU united radical youngsters to issue the journal of Mangyuan. The storm school comprised of youngsters in the post May 4^th Period highlighted the “New Idea of Hooligans”, who attempted to replace the generation of their teachers and master the discourse power. These waves of conflicts provided bad examples for later non-stop “civil war of scholars”.

Key words: LU Xun, ZHOU Zuo-ren, CHEN Yuan, Modern Review, Yusi, Mangyuan
