Furthermore, in the past Chinese would rarely consider questions from an anthropological perspective. Over the 50O0 years of Chinese culture, what was regarded above all else, what was viewed as most magnificent, bold and righteous, was in fact far removed from a normal person's way of living and values. After the May Fourth Movement, people reflected a lot on these problems.
又如，中國人過去考慮問題很少從人類學的觀點去考慮，中國文化五千年傳統價值中被奉為至高無上的東西，我們認為輝煌、英勇、最有氣節的命題，其實可能離開一個正常人的生活形態和價值追求很遠的，五四以後就經常有人感覺到這些問題了。
