中文摘要: | 大数命名是数学名词术语统一工作的一部分,也与度量衡统一工作有关。自先秦至清代,我国大数命名并无统一标准。民国时期,大数命名问题引起学界和政府的关注,并争议不断。学界多位学者和教育部、实业部等政府部门均参与其中。争议的焦点是在兆以上采用三位分节的千进制,还是采用四位分节的万进制。这作为民国时期中西文化碰撞与冲突一个缩影,反映了中国在现代化进程中处理本国文化习惯与国际文化习惯关系问题的不同思考。 |

There was no unified standard for the nomenclature of large numbers from Pre-Qin to Qing Dynasty. In Republican China, the problem of nomenclature of large numbers caused concern from academic circles and the government, and was surrounded by controversy. A number of scholars and the Ministry of education, the Ministry of industry were involved. The focus of controversy was the use of number system of thousand in three points a section, or the use of number system of ten thousand in four points a section above million.
