有别于自然演进的西欧现代化进程，中国的现代化是对现代性之外部条件的回应。这种发生于两种文明和文化冲突之中的“后发型”现代化，就不能不存在一个对现代化的选择问题。这种选择一方面取决于中国文化模式本身，另一方面取决于进行这种选择的主体对东西方文化的认识。鸦片 Different from the natural evolution of Western Europe’s modernization, China’s modernization is a response to the external conditions of modernity. This “post-hairstyle” modernization, which takes place in the conflicts of the two civilizations and cultures, can not but have a question of the choice of modernization. This choice depends, on the one hand, on the Chinese cultural model itself and on the other hand on the understanding of the Eastern and Western cultures by the agents making such choices. opium
