Аннотация. Период с позднего Циня до Республики Китая (1860-1949) стал эпохой, когда Китай был пассивно вовлечен в глобальную индустриальную систему. Исследование раскрывает логику строительства государственной суверенитета, а также поясняет особенности промышленной стандартизации в Китае — от «пассивного принятия» к «активной адаптации». Результаты исследования предоставляют ключевой исторический взгляд на понимание специфики технологической модернизации Китая, а также исторические ориентиры для совершенствования современной промышленной стандартизации.
Ключевые слова: Поздний Цинь — Республика Китая, промышленная стандартизация, строительство государства, кросскультурная коммуникация, мерные системы, муниципальные стандарты, национальные предприятия

Industrial standardization in China in the period from Late Qin to the Republic of China (1860-1949)
Yang Haozhe, Zhao Hongxuan, Fu Bo
Abstract. The late Qing to the Republican period (1860-1949) marked a critical era when China was passively integrated into the global industrial system. The research reveals the power relations, cultural adaptation dilemmas, and national sovereignty construction logic behind technical transplantation, and clarifies the transformation characteristics of China’s industrial standardization from "passive acceptance" to "active adaptation." The findings not only fill the gaps in existing cross-field and micro-level research but also provide a key historical perspective for understanding the particularity of China’s technological modernization, as well as historical references for the improvement of contemporary industrial standardization.
Keywords: Late Qing to Republican China, industrial standardization, state-building, cross-cultural communication, measurement systems, municipal standards, national enterprises
