Chinese discourse,in essence,refers to a specific system about terminologies,concepts,categories and speech of China.From the Opium War(1840) to the May Forth Movement(1919),Chinese academic discourse underwent a constructing process,from a scientific and technical discourse to a discourse of social sciences and then to a discourse of humanity.The development of academic discourse pattern in modern China can be generally divided into three phases: (1)from the period of the May Forth Movement to the founding of New China(1949), (2) from 1949 to the start of Reform and Opening-up(1978),and (3) the period after the Reform and Opening-up.The biggest problem of Chinese contemporary academic discourse seems to lie in 'Over Westernization',with little Chinese discoursal expression of cultural phenomena in China.To construct a system of China's contemporary academic discourse,it is necessary to study the Western discourse and develop the traditional discourse.However, based on the China's social and cultural development,the spirit of innovation is of utmost importance when we summarize and create our own terminologies,concepts and categories to construct our own criteria of the value system.
