摘　　要：On the question of the spiritual resources of May Fourth new literature, Cai Yuanpei （1868-1940） once said categorically that the 1919 May Fourth Movement was one of cultural transformation ＂modeled after Western humanism and marking a transition from the world of God to the world of Man.＂ Likewise, Chen Duxiu （1879-1942） and Hu Shi （1891-1962） arbitrarily concluded that the May Fourth new literature was another ＂the Renaissance＂ following ＂today＇s majestic and brilliant European＂ civilization and symbolizing the rapid surge of modern China. Highly identified, as was natural, with such a view, Lu Xun （1881-1936） stated frankly, when talking about the sentiments that motivated his switch from a medical to a literary career, that ＂what I relied on was roughly what I had learned from the hundred or so foreign works I read and a thing or two I had learned in medical science,＂人文主义是五四文学的旗帜与象征，也是中国现代作家的梦想与追求，因为它不仅代表着与传统价值观完全不同的现代性意义，也标志着中国文学与世界接轨的现实可能性。然而，人文主义原本是西方文化的历史传统，
