Abstract:
From the translation of geographic nomenclature and based on the methodology of conceptual history, this article disscussed the creation, evolution and establishment of the word “meiguo” in the cultural context of pre-modern China. According to the analysis of the article, the influence of national cognition and attitude, the manipulation from political and diplomatic aspects, and the regulations imposed by intellectuals and literati are the three chief causes for the lexical change of “meiguo”. Hopefully, this article will bring a more profound understanding of the origin and connotation of the word “meiguo” in the system of the modern Chinese language.
