科学技术与国家民族利益密切相关任何一种古代文化都有其历史局限性。相比于西方近代文化,中国传统文化最大的局限性就是科学精神的缺匮。诚然,中国古代的某些科技成就,特别是在经济科学与工程技术方面曾经达到世界领先的高度,但是中国传统文化从整体来说是一种人文文化,理性批判主义、对严格逻辑的追求、对数学方法的推崇,以及实验的手段的应用等科学精神的基本要素,在中国传统文化中是相对薄弱的。中国近代化历程的主流就是西方近代科学技术在中国的传播而源头可以早溯到四百多年前耶稣会士的来华,他们带来的“远西奇器”和天文数学知识曾引起当时朝野人士的惊奇。但是直到17世纪,当欧洲诸强挟裹着科学革命的狂飙对地球上那些古老的文明进行历史性超越的时刻,中国这艘古船还在其原始的河道上缓慢
Science and technology are closely related to national interests Any ancient culture has its historical limitations. Compared to the modern western culture, the biggest limitation of traditional Chinese culture is the lack of scientific spirit. It is true that some ancient Chinese science and technology achievements have reached the world advanced level especially in economic science and engineering and technology. However, as a whole, Chinese traditional culture is a kind of humanistic culture, rational criticism and strict pursuit of logic. The basic elements of the scientific spirit, such as esteem of mathematical methods and the application of experimental methods, are relatively weak in Chinese traditional culture. The mainstream of China's modernization process is the spread of modern Western science and technology in China, but the source can go back as far as about 400 years ago to come to China by the Jesuits. What they brought is “Far West Qi” and knowledge of astronomy Aroused the surprise of the ruling and opposition parties. However, until the seventeenth century, when the European powers stormed the historic revolution of the ancient civilization on Earth with the hurricane of the scientific revolution, the ancient Chinese ship was still slow on its primitive river
