Exploring the fundamental concepts of 'Civilization' and 'culture' in Chinese society, this work delves into their historical evolution and impact on East Asian societies. It highlights the period from 1840 to 1900, a time of significant transition, and how it challenged traditional notions. The text examines the influence of Sino-Western exchanges and contemporary reinterpretations by Chinese scholars, ultimately linking these developments to the May Fourth New Culture Movement and the emergence of new values and paradigms in modern China.
