This Key Concepts pivot examines the fundamental Chinese ideas of
'Civilization' and 'culture', considering their extensive influence
both over Chinese society and East Asian societies. The pivot
analyses the traditional connotations of those two concepts and
their evolution in the Sino-Western exchanges as well as their
renewed interpretation and application by contemporary Chinese
scholars. It analyses how the years 1840-1900 which mark a period
of major transition in China challenged these concepts, and
highlights how the pursuit of innovation and international
perspective gave birth to new values and paradigm shifts, and
culminated in the May Fourth New Culture Movement. Considering the
underlying humanistic ideas in the key concepts of traditional
Chinese civilisation and culture, this pivot contributes to this
series of Chinese Key Concept by offering a unique analysis of the
conceptual evolutions brought about by the change of values in 21st
century China.
