摘要: 《东西史记和合》是最早的东西历史比较年表,它将中西历史置于同一框架,寻求两者的相关性,并试图将中国历史纳入西方历史。这部年表将中国的循环状历史与西方的线状历史结合在一起。基于线性历史观,中国近代的世界史观念经历了社会进步观、社会进化观、社会发展观三个阶段,《东西史记和合》正是这一发展脉络的起点。从文化交流视角看,晚清世界史观念的萌生是中西文化互动的结果。

Abstract: Comparative Chronology written by Walter Henry Medhurst is the earliest comparative history of China and the West.The book linked Chinese and European History in the same framework,discussed their correlation and attempted to incorporate the former to the latter.Comparative Chronology was a transitional work. On the one hand,it was not free from religious universal history; on the other hand,it contains fundamental factors of world history in modern times.This Chronology integrates cyclical Chinese history and linear European History.Based on the linear view of history,world history in modern China had gone through three stages: progressive view of history,evolutionary view of history,and developmental view of history.Comparative Chronology was the beginning of this development process.From the perspective of cultural communication,world history in the Late Qing Dynasty resulted from Sino-Western cultural interaction.
