What is the concept of modernity?

The word "modern" first appeared in the Shurangama Sutra, the Bali Sutra, and the 14th volume of Dazhengzang, The Modern Woman Sutra of the Buddha. In the late 1920s, 19 had the meaning of "modern" and "fashionable" because its pronunciation was similar to modern. After 1930s, 19 gradually took "fashion" as its main meaning.

The word "modern" originated from Buddhism and is a modern explanation in Sanskrit. It is the name of a young woman of sudra caste (slave class), which is recorded in the Shurangama Sutra, Bali Classic, Modern Buddhist Women's Sutra and the 14th volume of Dazhengzang. [ 1]

In the late 1920s, 19 had the meaning of "modern" and "fashionable" because its pronunciation was similar to modern. After 1930s, due to the modern scene and state of the capital world shown in Chaplin's film Modern Times, it had a great influence on our country, and "fashion" gradually became the most important and commonly used meaning of modernity. This is what most people use, so many people mistakenly think that modern is a transliteration word.
