碰撞与变革--近代工业技术的引进与传统技术观的嬗变

传统技术观在中国封建社会中占据主导地位,科学技术虽未成为神学的婢女却也处于"奇技淫巧"的地位而备遭冷落.传统技术观的成因与中国落后的生产方式和儒家文化有直接关系,这一观念导致了人们对科学技术上认识的无知,使科学技术的成长缺乏适宜的土壤,成为近代中国科技落后的一个主要原因.近代以来,西方列强依仗科技之力闯进中国,随之引进了近代工业技术,从而逐渐改变了人们对技术的功能、作用的错误认识,近代技术观终于在中国得以确立.

Collision and transformation--Introduction of modern industrial technology and changes of traditional technology concept

Traditional concept of technology held a dominant position in the Chinese feudal society. The formation of traditional technology concept was closely related with the backward way of production and Confucius cultures in China. It led to the ignorance of science and technology knowledge and provided no favorable environment for the development of science and technology in China, which accounted for the underdevelopment of science and technology in contemporary China. In modern history, with the invasion of the western big powers into China armed with advanced technology and also the introduction of modern industrial technology, Chinese people came to realize the important role of technology and gradually developed modern concept of technology in China .
