Contributions to New Culture Movement
[edit]Many of Chen's works were influenced by ideas from Western culture and questioned the traditions of Chinese culture. Her goal was to educate and help Chinese people grow by incorporating values from both cultures. In 1924, Chen published the first of the two-volume series of "History of the West" and the second in 1926. In 1930, she published "Short History of the European Renaissance" as well. Her publications gave readers information on the Western society that was being introduced into China. Furthermore, her idea's focused on showing China was "common property of the world" and internationalism between countries.[1] Later on, she went to publish her "Autobiography of a Young Chinese Girl" in English during 1935. Similarly with "History of the West" and "Short History of the European Renaissance", her readers could understand more about the Chinese and their traditions. [2]
