Abstract:

The Vanguard experiment: Chinese Culture in 1980 Times, 372, Beijing Orient press (people's literature publishing house) 1998 edition. This book was once on the list of the famous Beijing Feng Ru Song bookstore for five months, becoming the university graduate required bibliography, and the United States BoKu company purchase the publishing right online. It is the first book to judge Chinese modernism is a kind of "the emperor's new clothes" pseudo modernism. This book from social and economic history background, from people's experience, they come into contact with translation material, their culture knowledge structure, as well as to their tutors (50 s that batch of university students), and they are in historical era, social political system and so on aspects of comprehensive analysis think, this time the modernism is mistranslation, a misreading of modernism, is history freaks and unicorn. After the Chinese translation of Europe and the United States modernism text into this is already the first deformation misreading, Europe and the United States classic modernism text basically cannot be translated into Chinese, especially in Europe and the United States in the modern and post-modern consecutive times before and after logic in the eighties and at the same time to enter the Chinese translation, one is structure, one is the deconstruction, and it is difficult to find a Chinese and English, German corresponding the philosophy concept of words, but also in the 1980s in China these "modernism" grows up day after day. At that time in China the modern socialist are touted as the Canon Freud, Martin Heidegger, Sartre, Wittgenstein, Roland Barthes, Derrida, of this batch of People's Daily life. As the translation works basically became difficult to understand a sealed book, caused the words, concepts, thoughts chaos. I find this as in 1950s in China is touted as the translation of Canon of Marx, Engels, Lenin socialist, basically is a sealed book. This is a collective unconscious, a kind of times and national collective psychosis. This book is essentially China was born in the s the anti-rightist movement, the great leap forward, the people's commune, three years of natural disasters, great proletarian cultural revolution, the high school graduates to become educated youth, in the 1980s was admitted to university. Their teacher in fact is in continuous movement through college, the two generations of congenital defect. Thus it caused the Chinese modern socialist elites through the

misreading and fantasy out of the same local "modernism" or "modernist school

“unicorn. I boldly pointed out that Chinese native this modern socialist essence is in western centralism discourse power and Oriental socialist discourse right under the domination of post-colonialism, third world countries or developing countries unique "modernism". And in the s and s this misread its essence is not understand or localization formed the Chinese several generation of people's misreading creation. As for decades China misread Marx and Lenin's and sanitization. This kind of human history of hundreds of millions of people's misreading and superstition is a wonders, as "the emperor's new clothes".

This book becomes the required professional academic research bibliography at home and abroad. The pioneer experiment made me quite famous, and itself is cited by many Universities as a graduate student required bibliography.
