摘要(外文): | Modernity, a huge global social change originates from west Europe and North America which China not only could not isolate from it, but was forced by foreign powers to get involved in the nineteenth century. Thereafter, Chinese intellectuals started to seek the comprehensive way to deal with it from the early of the twentieth century. Though there's all kind of opinions, the most basic concern is how the traditional culture of China to respond to it properly. Unfortunately, most people who enquiry this question are trapped in the quagmire of the dichotomy, so that the focus of discussion of every cultural controversy lies in whether to accept the total westernization. Nowadays, almost a hundred years after, from the experience data of large scale modernize development, on which we use to develop and review the theoretical perspectives of modernity (especially postmodernism), we recognize that along with the development of modernization to globalization, the globalization is bound to interact with localization to become glocalization, and is bound to be glocalization of culture. Consequently, for the pursuit of development in contemporary when we are consciously promoting the social change, its target should not, ought not and wouldn’t be possible to be certain unique modernity, but multiple modernity. With such cognitive background to trace back and review all those thinking about Chinese social development hundred years ago, one must admit and recognize that Dr. Sun Yat-sen did have his exceeding insight not to simply reflect the challenge of modern situation with dichotomy. Instead he used pragmatism as criteria to check institutions and regularities of both western culture and ours, and tried to integrate them to develop Chinese modernity from the vision of glocalization.
