What happened in the ideological circles of the late Qing Dynasty

Middle school is the body, and Western learning is for use.

There are two main points:

First, the impact of the advanced cultural ideas of the West has given the Chinese people the ideological germination of the idea of lifting the shackles.

Second, the invasion of the great powers barbarically opened the door to Chinese culture, so that the people had to passively accept the other party's culture and begin to reflect on it, that is, the so-called "no break, no stand".

Through the world, the people are skilled, and the master is skilled to control the people

From being closed off from the country and sticking to oneself and blindly holding a sense of national superiority to learning from the West.

Reason: The Opium War gave China a glimpse of foreign ships and artillery. The people led by Lin Zexu and Wei Yuan advocated "mastering the skills of Yi to control the razor". Begin to realize that the outside world is better than the domestic world. Lin Zexu is also the first person in Chinese history to "open his eyes to the world".

The late Qing Dynasty, the period of Chinese history, that is, the late Qing Dynasty (1840-1911), was the beginning of modern Chinese history and the formative period of modern China's semi-colonial and semi-feudal society. The Opium Wars (1840-1842, 1856-1860) began modern Chinese history, when the Western powers forced the Qing court to sign unequal treaties to obtain benefits in China by force.

While resisting foreign aggression and internal worries, the Qing Dynasty has always been in a tug-of-war between reformists and conservatives. At the same time as the invasion of foreign powers, Western science and culture were also introduced to China, allowing the Qing Dynasty to launch a series of reforms and revolutions, such as the Westernization Movement, which promoted the growth and innovation of Chinese culture.

However, the defeat of the First Sino-Japanese War (1894-1895) dealt a heavy blow to reform efforts and led to the partition of China among the great powers. The Reform Movement ended with the old-fashioned boycott. After the xenophobic failure of the Boxer Rebellion and the introduction of the Eight-Nation Alliance, the Qing court also promoted the New Deal at the end of the Qing Dynasty, and although it achieved some success, some of the contents disappointed many intellectuals and turned to support the revolution.

Nearly 300 years of exhaustion, October 10, 1911 Xinhai Revolution broke out, the revolutionary storm swept the country, the Qing Dynasty rule quickly collapsed, the following year on February 12 Xuantong Emperor Puyi was forced to issue an abdication edict, the end of the bureau with the Qing ** since 1644 since the entry of the 268 years of rule.

First of all, we must look at the problem from the standpoint of a historical figure Today's people are prone to hindsight because they know what happened later. Or do not understand the difficulties of the predecessors, and criticize the predecessors.

For example, in the Xianfeng Dynasty, the Anglo-French coalition troops approached Beijing, and the Xianfeng Emperor fled in a hurry, and asked Prince Gong to sign the Beijing Treaty, whether from the perspective of dynastic interests or the ability of the ruler, it was a loss of power and humiliation of the country, and a complete defeat. However, if you don't sign and don't escape, will you be able to hide from the guns of the British and French forces? Do you have what it takes to turn the tide?

During Emperor Xianfeng's escape to Rehe, he also ended up depressed, breaking the jar and falling. I think if there is any way, he will try to protect the country. Imagine that he is the emperor!

Didn't he know that escaping would lead to a stench for 10,000 years! He knows better than anyone!! If you weren't forced to do that, who would want to run!
