What are the similarities and differences between the views of the Restorationists and the Westernis

Comparison of Westernists and Reformers.

Similarities: Both factions advocate learning from the West, introducing advanced Western technology, enriching the country and strengthening the army, establishing new-style schools, and cultivating talents.

Differences: A Politically: The Westernists upheld the feudal system of the Qing Dynasty.

The reformers advocated the revitalization of civil rights.

The House of Representatives is opened, and a constitutional monarchy is implemented. b Economically: the Westernists set up government-run industries, and the reformers encouraged the development of national industry and commerce.

c Ideologically and culturally: The Westernists advocated that "the Westernists should use Chinese and Western styles and simply learn foreign manufacturing techniques, while the reformists advocated that we should not only learn Western science and technology, but also learn advanced ideology and culture." Their fundamental disagreement is over what to learn from the West.

Internal connection: Both the Westernists and the Restorationists are the products of the new trend of thinking of "learning from the West" since the Opium War; With the Westernization movement.

, separated from the Westernists, formed the early Restoration.

Sources of difference:a Determined by socio-historical conditions. The Westernists arose in an era when class contradictions were acute in China and there was collusion between Chinese and foreign reactionary forces, and Chinese national capitalism was at that time.

Not yet generated. The Restorationists were exposed by the Westernization Movement and emerged after the emergence of capitalism, the Sino-Japanese War.

Growing up in conditions of failure and unprecedented national crisis. b Determined by political status. Most of the representatives of the Westernists were feudal bureaucrats, and they were bound to maintain the feudal system.

Most of the representatives of the Restorationists were middle- and lower-class intellectuals, who were easily receptive to Western political ideas and put forward proposals for change.

Different: The fundamental purpose of the Westernists was to maintain the feudal rule of the Qing Dynasty, and the reform of the law was to advocate the establishment of a constitutional monarchy.

Evaluation of the Westernization Movement.

At the beginning of the establishment of modern industry, the Westernists compared "peaceful China" with "enemy foreign countries". The former reflected the domestic class contradictions, and the latter reflected the contradictions between the Qing rulers and foreign invaders. However, after the Second Opium War, when the already decaying Qing rulers were in a time of frequent "internal troubles" and "external troubles", the Westernists could only maintain their crumbling regime by relying on the Western powers to jointly suppress the people.

Therefore, the result of the practice of the Westernization Movement inevitably negated the "enemy of foreign countries". If the Westernization Movement was a reform, then it could only be a "reform" in the direction of semi-colonization.

The Westernists maintained feudal rule, while the reformers advocated changing the law and changing the feudal system.

Same: They all advocate learning from the West, introducing advanced Western technology, enriching the country and strengthening the army, establishing new-style schools, and cultivating talents.

Both the Westernists and the Reformists were the products of the new trend of thought of "learning from the West" since the Opium War.

Politics: Westernists maintained the feudal system of the Qing Dynasty; The reformers advocated the revitalization of civil rights, the opening of the parliament, and the implementation of a constitutional monarchy.

Economy: The Westernists set up government-run industries, and the reformists encouraged the development of national industry and commerce.

Ideology and culture (fundamental differences): The Westernists advocated "Chinese style and Western use" and simply learned foreign manufacturing techniques, while the reformists advocated not only learning Western science and technology, but also learning advanced ideology and culture.

The heterogeneous reformers demanded that Chinese politics be reformed in accordance with the Western political system.

The Westernists refused to change the political system of the Qing Dynasty.

Both supported the introduction of advanced science and technology from the West to develop the Qing Dynasty.

Productivity that has lagged behind for a long time.

The difference should be that the Westernists advocate learning from the West, and most of them use Western forms, or ideas; The reformers, on the other hand, used their own ideas to transform Western thought for their own use.

As for the similarities, I think they are all thinking about the country and thinking of ways for China's development.

Similarities and differences in the purpose of self-improvement and prosperity.

Both the Westernists and the early Reformers advocated the revitalization of commerce in order to get rich, but there were obvious differences in their aims. Both the Westernists and the early reformers advocated that "middle school is the body, and Western learning is the use." "Western learning has been analyzed in the past, and here it mainly analyzes the connotation of middle school.

That is to say, the purpose of the two is to strive for prosperity through self-improvement. The 'middle school' of the Western-style school refers to the feudal Gangchang and the way of Confucius and Mencius. Zeng Guofan once said:

At present, foreign forces are used to help suppress and transport grain, and dust oranges can be used to reduce temporary worries; In the future, you can learn foreign skills, you can build ships and make cannons, and you can also receive permanent benefits. However, in a year or two, trains and ships will become the common things of the government and the people.

The views of the reformers: propaganda, polemics.

The Reform and Reform was an ideological emancipation movement, which played the role of ideological enlightenment in society, was conducive to the spread of bourgeois ideology, and prepared the conditions for the Xinhai Revolution.

Westernization Movement Viewpoint: Shiyi Long Technique.

Thus began the process of China's modernization.

The Westernists mainly only learned the advanced science and technology of the West, and did not change the feudal political system.

The reformers, on the other hand, wanted to learn from the West in all aspects of the political system. Establish a capitalist democracy.

This is the main difference between them.
