講座概要：黃人編輯的《普通百科新大辭典》（上海：國學扶輪社，1911） 被稱為中國現代第一部百科全書，
兼收各類詞條12000余條，特別是引進大量科技、文化、教育方面的新詞，其概念和定義成爲中國與世界接軌的一個範例。
可是，該辭典應該如何定位？是視為中國人獨立編纂的呢？還是另有所依？
我們給出的答案是，這實際上是一本通過翻譯急就而成的百科全書。

Abstract: The New Encyclopedic Dictionary of General Knowledge 普通百科新大辭典 (Shanghai: Guoxue fulunshe 國學扶輪社, 1911),
edited by Huang Ren黃人, generally considered as the first modern encyclopedia in China.
It contains more than 12,000 entries of various categories, including especially a large number of newly introduced words in science and technology,
culture and education. The concepts and the definitions provided in the encyclopedia demonstrate how China was connected to the world.
This study addresses the following questions: How should this dictionary be positioned? Was it a work produced by the Chinese on their own?
Or was it based on other sources? Our answer is that it was in fact an encyclopedia hastily compiled through translation.
