Annotation: In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, positivism began to divide into branches, and pragmatism was one of them. Around the time of the May Fourth Movement, pragmatism began to enter China and affected many areas. This process was associated with Hu Shi from beginning to end. Hu Shi once learned from Dewey a deep understanding of the essence of pragmatism, but tried to combine it with traditional philosophical sources. With the introduction of pragmatism, the latter was forced to make many adjustments to it, which led to some changes in pragmatism
