Preface

与以往时代转变过程中所使用的"后××时代"的概念不同,"后疫情时代"的概念在"疫情进行中"被过早地运用,显现出一定的概念含混。由于新型冠状病毒肺炎疫情的影响覆盖了人类生活的方方面面,造成物质生活和生活方式都发生了极大的改变。因而,这一概念广泛地出现在不同研究领域,表现出各行各业及其研究领域面对灾难的积极态度,以及探索我们如何摆脱生存困境、守护生命之对策的努力。

To mark and understand the transition of eras,we use the suffix“post”:post-war,postdepression,post-feudal to name but a few from history.However,it seems the phrase“Post-Pandemic”is being used prematurely,as the COVID-19 Pandemic is still ongoing,causing conceptual confusion.The impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic has touched almost all spheres of human life.Our spiritual life,our material life,and our way of life have undergone tremendous changes.Therefore,this concept has appeared in various fields of study,showing the positive attitudes of people from all walks of life including the academia,towards this crisis,and indicating their active efforts to find ways to get out of the crisis and to safeguard lives.
