Features: This book discusses the culture and politics of the turbulent era from the May Fourth Movement to the Northern Expedition. It explores the connection between the mindset of scholars before the May Fourth Movement and politics, the competition among various ideological concepts, behavioral tendencies, and political forces after the May Fourth Movement, as well as the interactions of these factors in the competition. By examining the entanglement of cultural factors such as region, military-civil, and new-old with political struggles, the book investigates the evolution of the military-political landscape in the years leading up to the Northern Expedition. The "historical phenomena" reconstructed in the book have a considerable distance from existing perceptions, or are closer to the exceptionally rich, complex, and dynamic scene in China's intellectual and political fields during this period.
