| Chinese academic culture has undergone drastic change from the content and form perspective since Opium War in China. This period could be considered as the transition from tradition to modern. Paradigm as the theory is widely used in natural science and social science. The theory is first introduced by Thomas S. Kuhn, an American philosopher, in his book "The Structure of Scientific Revolution". It is very common using "paradigm" to analyze some partial problems related to the Chinese modern history, however, it is a new move to make an overall study on change of Chinese Science from tradition to modern in this way. So it is necessary to identify and explain some relational items when the author does the research concerning academic change of Late Qing Dynasty. In Chapter One, the author analyzes the main course of the academic transition from the micro point of view, presents its significance and content, and the dynamics of such transition. The author wants to give the readers a general impression of this transition through analyzing these problems. In the next three chapters, the author makes the specific study nonacademic transition of Late Qing Dynasty from three points of view. They are the status and function of "Zhu Mu Da Wen" in that period, the significance and value of the change from Shuyuan to Xuetang, and the emergence of the copyright and modern intellectual in China. "Shu Mu Da Wen (Q & A about book list)" which enjoys high status in the modern bibliography studies is written by Zhang Zhidong when he was Xuezheng (Education Executive) in Sichuan province in China. The purpose of bibliography studies is to trace the source of certain text. As it is the doorstep of traditional study, it is essential to know it when we do some research in the field of traditional academic history. So the author chooses it as the main method to do necessary academic training. Owing to its time background and author's special identity, this bibliography owns unique status in the modern transition. "Zhu Mu Da Wen" was written in 1874, a special period in late Qing Dynasty. "Tongzhih Restoration" was thriving at that period. Some zealous Confucianists and believers tended to transplant recent national notion on the Confucian tree.
