The Research On Scientific Translation And Scientific Dissemination Of Ming And Qing Dynasty

Science translation is a science of studying on scientific translation, and isalso an interdiscipline of art and science. It involves not only the field ofthe natural science, but also concerns the fields of the history science,psychology, logic, dialectics of nature and methodology and many otherfields. Science translation is a highly professional, highly integratedbilingual practice and theory activity.The study on the thoughts of the science and the history of culturedissemination,can make us clearly see the promoting effects of sciencetranslation on social development.On the one hand,the translation spreadsthe science knowledge to all sectors of the society,so that it broadens theirhorizon to create a variety wealth of material and spiritual and improvesthe quality of people’s material and spiritual life.On the other hand, it alsocan continue to change knowledge into direct and indirect productivefactor. Science translation and science dissemination are interdependent,promoting each other to develop and complement together.The Ming Dynasty and The Qing Dynasty are the last two dynasties inChina for thousands of years of feudal dynasty, and also the period ofcapitalism from germination to development and expansion. So, theWestern civilization took place a fierce conflicts and intersection in thisperiod, Therefore, science translation during this period is particularlyimportant. This paper intends to start from the science translation of thisperiod, study and analyze the translation subject, content, methods andcharacteristics, discuss the enlightenment and significance of today.This paper starts first from the science translation and the characteristics of the Ming and Qing Dynasties, then comes the science dissemination ofthe Ming and Qing Dynasties, sums it up and explains its enlightenment tothe current science translation.The first part is the introduction, it analyses its background, significance,methods and present situation.The second part starts from the science translation and the characteristicsof the Ming and Qing Dynasties, talks about science translation and itscharacteristics from late Ming to early Qing Dynasty and late QingDynasty, and then makes a comparison between the two periods’ sciencetranslation, has a look on what has changed on the subject of translation,translation content, translation method, translation terms and so on to seewhy such changes occur and what are the consequences.The third part is the science dissemination in science translation in Mingand Qing dynasty. It mainly introduces in the Ming and Qing dynastieswhat advanced science, technology and ideas the science translation anddissemination bring to us, and how they promote our country’s science andtechnology development and progress, improve people’s thinking andunderstanding, make contributions to national development and socialprogress.The fourth part is the conclusion. It makes a summary of Scientifictranslation and scientific dissemination during the Ming and QingDynasties, according to the current international and domestic situation ofscience and technology development, and puts forward the developmentdirection and train of thought of the science translation.
