The basic slogan of the New Culture Movement is democracy and science.

"Democracy" refers to democratic thoughts and democratic politics; "Science" mainly refers to the laws and spirit of modern natural science. The bourgeoisie preached democracy and opposed feudal autocracy, pointing the finger at Confucianism, the theoretical pillar of feudal autocracy; Advocate science and oppose feudal superstition and ignorance.

This slogan reflects the requirements of China's social development and the urgent needs of the people, and has effectively promoted the development of the New Culture Movement. However, this slogan still belongs to the nature of bourgeois old democracy and has the limitations of its class and times. It can't be combined with mass movements, and it can't treat China culture and western culture from the viewpoint of historical materialism, so it can't fundamentally overthrow feudal thought.
