传统时期的古物观念,近代以来由于西潮涌入而发生较大改变,自“体”和“用”两个维度,开始了从私藏到公藏,从私利到公益的转变。自晚清开启的这个历史过程,最终以中国博物馆事业的建立为结果。而早期博物馆的创设,大多也因处理古物问题为契机,此遂奠定了今日中国博物馆偏重古物,重视文物,名曰博物馆,而实为古物馆的历史大格局。 The concept of antiquities in the traditional period changed greatly in recent years due to the influx of the western tide. From the two dimensions of “body ” and “use ”, the concept of antiquities began to be changed from private possession to public possession and from private interests to public welfare. Since the late Qing Dynasty opened up this historical process, the final result of the establishment of the Chinese museum. However, most of the early museums were also founded on the issue of dealing with antiquities. This laid the historical pattern that the Chinese museum focuses on antiquities and places importance on cultural relics and famous museums today.
