1898年7月12日,在戊戌变法的高潮中,光绪帝颁发了《振兴工艺给奖章程》,这是我国近代历史上第一个奖励科学发明的官方文件。因为《章程》是在同顽固守旧势力的斗争中产生的,它冲破了旧势力的种种压制,而且又是同救国图强的目的相联系,因此在我国经济和科学文化发展史上都占有一定的地位。 On July 12, 1898, during the climax of the Reform Movement of 1898, Emperor Guangxu presented the “Reciprocation Process Award Medal,” the first official document in modern history in China to reward scientific inventions. Since the Constitution was created in the struggle against the stubborn old forces, it broke through the repression of the old forces and was linked to the goal of saving the nation and the country. Therefore, it all occupies a certain degree in the history of the development of our economy and science and culture status.
