五四时期,当众多知识分子就文化选择、孔子评价等问题进行激烈争论的时候,东方文化派也积极参与,深入评论,成为这场中西文化大论战中的一个重要思想流派。他们一方面要求保存传统、昌明孔教,另一方面,反对顽固守旧,提倡中西融合,批判神化孔子,对当时的思想界影响很大。调和中西、折中新旧,是东方文化派中西文化观的基本特征。这一特征形成于新旧思潮的激烈冲突中,反映了五四时期文化选择的艰难。 During the May 4th Movement, when many intellectuals fiercely debated issues such as cultural choices and the evaluation of Confucius, the Oriental Cultural School also actively participated in and commented on it in depth and became an important school of thought in this great Sino-Western cultural debate. On the one hand, they demanded to preserve the tradition and establish the Confucianism of Changming. On the other hand, they opposed the stubbornness of old age, advocated the integration of Chinese and Western cultures, and criticized the deification of Confucius. They greatly influenced the ideological circles at that time. To reconcile China and the West and to discount the old and new is the basic feature of the oriental and western cultural view of the oriental culture. This feature was formed in the intense conflicts between new and old trends, reflecting the difficulty of cultural choices during the May 4th Movement.
