清末民初共时意识下的“近世”书写

The Historic Writing of Jinshi Under the Synchronic Consciousness in the Late Qing Dynasty and the Early Republic of China

清末民初之际,移植自西方的"近世"概念及分期方式,被时人赋予了中西交通文明开化、中西竞争民族争胜的历史内涵,又蕴含着人们对最近历史阶段的认识及未来历史发展的预设。不过,在全球共时意识催生出的中国"近世"书写中,清末所形成的"近世"分期时间框架及内涵,在民国初年反倒成为人们对最近历史阶段认识的限制,对这一历史分期进行重构便成为必然选择。"近世"历史分期的蜕变,呈现了全球时间革新对时人"最近之历史阶段"认识的影响。

In the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China, the "early world"(Jinshi) concept, which was transplanted from the Western historical staging method, and its historical staging have been endowed with a historical connotation of Chinese-Western communication and competition concerning civilization and nationality. They also contain people’s understanding of recent historical stages and their prediction about future historical development. However, in the writing of China’s Jinshi generated under the global synchronic consciousness, the time frame and connotation of Jinshi periodization formed in the late Qing Dynasty became a limitation on people’s understanding of recent historical stages in the early Republic of China, making it necessary to rebuild this historical staging method. The transformation of Jinshi historical stages also shows the impact of the innovation of global time on people’s understanding of "recent historical stages".
