近代中国经历了从传统到现代这一转变的历史过程,无论是科学技术、政治制度,还是文化习俗都打上了西化的烙印。近代历史事件的时间表述也是如此,用传统的天干地支、皇帝年号来表述,逐渐演变为采用西式的具体月日来表述。这一转变,其一反映了传统文化向西方文化的让步,中国与世界接轨的历史趋势;其二反映了近代中国外患频仍的历史事实;其三反映了中国社会内部变革加速这一历史进程。
Modern China has experienced the historical process of the transition from tradition to modernity. Both science and technology, political system, and cultural practices are branded with westernization. The same can be said of the time of modern historical events, which is expressed in terms of the traditional Heaven, Earth, and Earthly Branches and the emperor’s year, and gradually evolved into a concrete Western-style date. This change reflects the historic trend of concessions of traditional culture to western culture and China’s integration with the world. The second one reflects the frequent historical facts of foreign aggression in modern China. The third one reflects the historical process of accelerated internal change in Chinese society.
