Analyze what the Renaissance and the New Culture Movement are essentially the same

All of them are ideological emancipation movements led by the bourgeoisie.

The Renaissance and Enlightenment movements were the two great ideological emancipation movements in European history, and they were two ideological emancipation movements in different eras. The Renaissance predates the Enlightenment by several hundred years. The former took place in the embryonic period of capitalism, and the latter before the bourgeois revolution.

William. William Shakespeare (1564-1616) was a great playwright and poet of the English Renaissance, and a master of the humanist literature of the European Renaissance.

The Renaissance refers to an ideological and cultural movement that arose in Italian cities at the end of the 13th century, and later spread to Western European countries, and flourished in Europe in the 16th century, bringing a period of scientific and artistic revolution, opening the prelude to modern European history, and is considered to be the boundary between the Middle Ages and modern times. Marxist historians consider it to be the dividing line between the feudal era and the capitalist era. At the end of the 13th century, in the commercially developed cities of Italy, some advanced intellectuals in the emerging bourgeoisie used the study of ancient Greek and Roman art and culture to promote the humanistic spirit through literary and artistic creation.

The Renaissance flourished in England with an unprecedented flourishing of poetry and drama.

Shakespeare, Dante, and Leonardo da Vinci are known as the "Three Giants of the Renaissance".

The essence of the Renaissance was a new cultural movement of the bourgeoisie, the second movement of ideological emancipation in European history.

The concept of "Renaissance" was used by Italian humanist writers and scholars in the 14th and 16th centuries. At that time, it was believed that literature and art had flourished in the classical era of Greece and Rome, but in the "Dark Ages" of the Middle Ages, it decayed and disappeared, and it was not until the 14th century that it was "reborn" and "revived", hence the name "Renaissance".

The Renaissance began in Italian cities and spread to Western Europe, culminating in the 16th century, bringing with it a period of scientific and artistic revolution that marked the beginning of modern European history, and is considered to be the boundary between the Middle Ages and the modern era. The Renaissance was one of the three major ideological emancipation movements in Western Europe in modern times (Renaissance, Reformation and Enlightenment).

I. The Nature of the Renaissance:

The Renaissance was a European intellectual and cultural movement that reflected the demands of the emerging bourgeoisie. The essence is that the new bourgeoisie launched an anti-feudal new cultural movement to promote bourgeois ideology and culture in the name of reviving the classical culture of Greece and Rome.

2. The main content of the Renaissance:

The new bourgeoisie, by promoting ancient Greek culture and the filial piety of ancient Rome in the fields of literature, painting, poetry, sculpture and other arts and sciences, opposed the stale preaching of the Church, and the spirit of humanism was its core content.

The spirit of humanism proposes to be human-centered rather than God-centered, affirming the value and dignity of the human person. He advocates that the purpose of life is to pursue happiness in real life, advocates the emancipation of individuality, opposes ignorant and superstitious theological thoughts, and believes that man is the creator and master of real life.

3. The Significance of the Renaissance:

1. The Renaissance was the first bourgeois ideological emancipation movement in history.

2. The Renaissance promoted the development of world culture, promoted the awakening of the people, started the journey of modernization, and made the necessary ideological and cultural preparations for the development of capitalism.

3. The Renaissance mobilized and prepared the bourgeois revolution ideologically.

The Renaissance movement fully affirmed the value of human beings and valued human nature, which became a powerful call for people to break through the veil of the Middle Ages. The Renaissance movement had a great influence on the political, scientific, economic, philosophical, and theological worldviews of the time. It was a revolutionary storm of the emerging bourgeoisie in the ideological field, also known as "the era of the emergence of giants.""。

The common influence was anti-feudalism and shook the idea of feudal rule.

Think of pillars; And it has greatly liberated the minds of the people in the area, but it is extreme. The Renaissance overemphasized the role of man, so it caused the expansion of individual selfish desires, which led to a certain degree of social chaos. The New Culture Movement, holding high the banner of democracy and science, hit the Confucian family, and completely negated Confucianism.

So it's also a bit extreme. However, the positive effect is still the main aspect.

Moreover, they have promoted the development of literature and enriched the cultural progress of the locality.

It impacted the dominance of feudal ideology and emancipated people's minds.

Economically, the development of the capitalist economy has been promoted to a certain extent.

Politically, it has also promoted the development of democratic politics to a certain extent.

Ideologically and culturally, the foundation of feudal theology was shaken, and a movement of ideological emancipation was set off. At the same time, it also promoted the popularization and prosperity of culture, and the field of literature has been greatly developed.

(1) Renaissance: with the help of the revival of the form of Greco-Roman classical culture. (2 points) New Culture Movement:

Criticize the old culture represented by Confucianism. (2 points) (2) Renaissance: individualism.

1 point) Capitalist development emphasizes the role of human beings. (2 points).

New Culture Movement: Collectivism, Patriotism. (1) The danger of the nation stimulates the sense of distress to save the country and the people. (2 points).

3) Renaissance: preaching a bourgeois view of humanity. (1 point) New Culture Movement: Promoting the spirit of democracy and science; Promote the spread of Marxism. (2 points).

The difference between the Renaissance and the New Culture Movement is that the Renaissance negates the theological worldview, while the New Culture Movement is a critique of the old culture.

First of all, the Renaissance and the new culture took place at different times, places, and durations. The Renaissance took place in Italy in the 14th century, while the New Culture Movement took place in China in 1915. Moreover, the Renaissance lasted for a long time in Europe, while the New Culture Movement existed for too short a time.

The difference in place and time of occurrence is destined to prove that the two must be different in the similarities.

As the name suggests, the Renaissance is an ideological revolution carried out with the help of the revival of the classical culture of the ancient Greek and Roman periods. The Renaissance emphasized the spirit of humanism, the core of which was centered on man rather than God. The Renaissance broke the theocratic ideology at that time, affirmed the value and dignity of human beings, liberated people's minds, and liberated people from the ignorance of theocracy, so the Renaissance was a cultural movement that used classical culture to achieve opposition to feudalism.

The New Culture Movement is a critique of the old Chinese culture represented by Confucianism, promoting the spirit of democracy and science, and promoting the spread of Marxism in China. Under the oppression of imperialism and militarism, advanced intellectuals believed that the victory of the revolution needed to use ideology and culture to impact the feudal ideology at that time, and to enhance the people's understanding of democracy and republic through cultural movements. Under these circumstances, a new cultural movement began to emerge.

The New Culture Movement is similar to the Renaissance in many ways, especially the main content of the New Culture Movement is similar to the "humanism" of the Renaissance, but there are differences between the two because of the different national conditions of the time and place where it occurred.

The Renaissance was mainly aimed at reviving the old culture, but the New Culture Movement criticized the old culture and advocated the new culture, and the starting point was different.

The Renaissance was to promote humanist ideas and take the authority of the church as the object of criticism, but the New Culture Movement criticized feudal ideas and disseminated advanced ideas of democracy and science.

The New Culture Movement is a critique and progress of the old culture, while the Renaissance is an ideological frenzy and an ideological emancipation, which is different.

The Renaissance is to revive under the banner of reviving the old culture, and the new culture movement is to criticize the old culture, change the old culture, and promote the new culture movement.

Difference: In the name of revival literature and art, the New Culture Movement fiercely criticized the old culture, and in the later period of China's New Culture, the proletariat stepped onto the stage of history, and the object of struggle for the Renaissance was mainly theological thought.

The Renaissance was an ideological emancipation from theology to humanism, and it was a promotion and development on the basis of the original culture, while the new cultural movement was a complete destruction of the old and the establishment of the new, believing that the previous ones were decadent and bad.

The Renaissance was the development of new cultural ideas under the slogan of restoring the previous culture, and the new culture directly indicated the development of new ideas and new cultures.

The two are very different in nature, the New Culture Movement is a movement that breaks the old and creates the new, while the Renaissance is the emancipation of the mind and believes in putting people first.

The Renaissance struggled primarily against theological ideas, but it was not overthrown.

China's new culture has put the proletariat onto the stage of history.
