| Abstract(in English) | TIME IS MONEY is a metaphor prevalent in contemporary English and many modern languages, reflected in everyday expressions such as to spend/waste/save/invest/give/have time. Various studies have suggested that this metaphor is a modern Western invention that only arose via industrialization where one is paid for the amount of time worked for and the invention of modern chronometric technology which prints and delimit time. Such assumption predicts that this metaphor must have been absent in a pre-industrialized society. Based on data collected from CCL Corpus of Chinese Texts, this paper will argue that TIME IS MONEY metaphor has already existed in Classical Chinese. This implies that time was viewed as a valuable commodity in pre-Modern China just as it is in today's world. |
