中国工程技术首创性在前封建时代落后于西半球，在封建时代又领先于世界，至近代以来则全面落后。中国当代工程技术首创性水平仍不容乐观。中国工程技术首创性的匮乏与文化方面的根源和文化适应性问题息息相关，主要包括重道轻器的价值文化，实用理性的传统和重群轻人的意识等。针对这些文化根源或可以找到直接而有效的应对举措，即应在重视基础研究、培育精英文化和加强道器并重的价值文化宣传上下功夫。对中国工程首创性问题进行深入文化思考无疑具有重大的历史意义和现实意义，它不仅有助于我们更好地弄清中国工程首创性发展的特点，而且可以启发我们更深地理解中国工程首创性薄弱的原因。%China’s engineering technology initiative lagged behind the west before the feudal times, kept ahead in the world in feudal times, and then became fully behind in the modern times. China’s engineering tech-nology initiative level is still not cheering in contemporary times. The lack of engineering technology initiative has a deep relationship with cultural roots and cultural adaptation issues, mainly including the cultural values which values theoretical knowledge more than craftsmanship, the tradition of practical rationality and the consciousness of emphasizing on collective rather than individuals. In view of these cultural roots, one may find the direct and effective measures, including attaching importance to basic research, cultivating elite culture and vigorously pro-moting the cultural values which values both knowledge and craftsmanship. Having a deep cultural thinking on China’s engineering technology initiative is undoubtedly of great historical and practical significance, which will not only help us to well understand the characteristics of China’s engineering technology initiative, but also inspire us to deeply understand the reason for lack of initiative in China’s engineering technology.
