The Chinese Progress was a significant publication during the period of the Reform Movement of 1898, which was vital to the reform started by Kang Youwei and Liang Qichao. It had the largest circulation and the hugest impact at the end of Qing dynasty. The Chinese Progress comprises not only Liang's articles, which was named “Liang's themes”, but plenty of translations. The translations split even with the political themes. Moreover, they included a large number of scientific and technological contents, which set the Chinese Progress in a position on propagating science and technology at the end of Qing dynasty, and helped Chinese people broaden their horizon. The Chinese Progress followed closely the progressive trend of science and technology of the time, demonstrated the influence of science and technology on all sides, such as society, medical treatment, agriculture, and so on, which facilitated the advancement of society. the Chinese Progress contributed a lot to “towards oriental spreading” of new science and technology. And now there are already many researches on the Chinese Progress, but most of them focus upon history, news communication and other liberal arts, and fewer upon science and technology. This paper attempts to begin from a cross-discipline perspective of liberal art and science to make an all-round and systematic research on the scientific translation of the Chinese Progress.
