The Change Dynasty
the change dynasty is english-language nomenclature referring to the first decade of the new millennium (2000-2010) in china, which was the nation’s most rapid period of progress and development in 5,000 years of history.
the term is a homage to dynastic imperial eras, i.e. qing dynasty, but is not derived from the name of any ruling cl-ss, but rather from the dramatic modernization and hyper urbanization that occurred throughout china after the new millennium, reaching its zenith in 2008 before finally slowing down again.
the term “change dynasty” is a neologism directly attributable to, and first seen in print in, the book china: portrait of a people (tom carter, 2008), which features in part a series of contrasting photographs of ancient tenements juxtaposed against modern steel-and-gl-ss skyscr-pers.
china is currently undergoing one of the most rapid transitions in its long history – the change dynasty. do we embrace advancement or weep for time immemorial?
