In the Westernization Movement, why did it say that learning technology alone could not save China?

Because "learning" itself has the meaning of "imitation" and "plagiarism", "learning" does not mean "knowing" and "discovering" the real world;

Minors need to rely on "learning" to make up for the defects of "understanding" because their minds have not yet developed, but if adults who have matured physically and mentally can only rely on "learning" and cannot "know" the world by themselves, it is undoubtedly like a "blind man"--- "learning" is just a "guide dog" in the hands of a blind man;

For example, Chinese attach importance to the I Ching and the mastery of Confucius, but no one is interested in how the I Ching was "developed" and how Confucius came about;

It is the same today: since ancient times, China has regarded "learning" as the highest level, ignoring or even despising any "discovery" and "innovation" consciousness, therefore, although China has the world's largest population, it does not have any "innovation" and "research and development" capabilities, and today can only rely on a large number of "joint ventures" and "introductions", relying on the "research and development capabilities" of foreigners, to seek the survival and development of enterprises; Today's China is not much different from the China of the Westernization Movement;

The Westernization Movement is mainly the self-help of the ruling class, and the rule of the Qing ** has been riddled with holes, how can it be solved by learning technology? In addition, learning the technology of advanced Western countries can only be controlled by others forever, and it is impossible for Western countries to let Qing ** get in touch with the core of technology, so such learning is meaningless. Besides, the feudal system itself is very backward and will be eliminated sooner or later.

1.It was a semi-colonial and semi-feudal society at that time.

2.The backward system is not conducive to social development.

3.The purpose of the Westernization Movement was to save the Qing Dynasty by learning technology, and this idea was to no avail.

Although the Westernization Movement failed and did not save China, China was still in dire straits, but the Westernization Movement changed China to a certain extent. The Westernization Movement put forward the slogan of mastering the skills of the people to control the country, and took the initiative to learn from the West, indicating that they had realized the backwardness of China's current situation and took the initiative to improve themselves and seek prosperity in order to maintain feudal rule. Compared with the feudal self-reliance, learning advanced technology and equipment from the West to change industrial production is a huge breakthrough for China.

The Westernization Movement led to the emergence of the first batch of modern industrial enterprises in China, mastering advanced technology, accumulating production experience, and promoting the development of China's national capitalism. Without the Westernization Movement, the fog of China's feudal rule might have continued to hang over, and Chinese society would have regressed and continued to lag behind the West.

It is worth affirming that although the Westernization Movement did not achieve the ultimate goal of strengthening the country and resisting humiliation, the Westernization faction's ability to face up to the advanced technology of the West and actively study it was in line with the needs of the times and the interests of the country, and was of pioneering significance for promoting the process of China's modernization.

Although the Westernization Movement failed, it played a very important historical role

1. The Westernists concentrated their efforts on giving priority to the development of the military industry and the development of a number of civilian enterprises, which objectively played a certain role in promoting the development of China's early industry and national capitalism.

2. A number of new-style schools were opened, and early official students were dispatched, which was the beginning of modern education in China.

3. It is conducive to the development of the capitalist economy and the change of social atmosphere.

Therefore, although the Westernization Movement failed to save China, it is still worthy of recognition.

There are places worthy of affirmation, which have promoted development and conformed to the trend of history. But there are also many problems, which are not thorough and do not solve the problem fundamentally.

It is worthy of recognition to conform to the trend of history.

It is worth affirming that it is a campaign for China to try to save itself, and although it has not succeeded, it has promoted social progress.

Objective reasons: the Western powers do not want China to be rich and strong, and they will not let China master truly advanced technology. Some foreign craftsmen hired by the Westernists took advantage of China's lack of technology to extort and seek huge profits, making it difficult for enterprises to develop.

The diehards within the Qing Dynasty hated all Westernization affairs and obstructed and sabotaged them in every possible way, making the Westernization movement difficult.

Subjective reasons: The entire Westernization movement lacks a sound and powerful leadership core, and its strength is scattered and limited. The Westernists themselves lacked cultivation in modernization, and did not realize the key role played by the institutional construction of Western capitalist countries in their economic development.

On the contrary, the Westernists attempted to rely solely on the introduction of advanced technology and equipment from the West without thoroughly reforming the feudal exploitation system, and tried to engage in the so-called "use of Chinese style and Western use" in China, that is, to use China's feudal system as a container to contain the advanced technology of the West.

The main thing is to safeguard the interests of the ruling class, to safeguard the status of the ruling class, to improve oneself first, and then to seek prosperity, the money is swallowed up, the factory is closed, can it become rich and strong, it does not conform to the development law of the world, and will inevitably be eliminated.

The Manchu rulers and the local Han bureaucrats were suspicious of each other and fought among themselves, just look at the First Sino-Japanese Naval Battle, which was more like a war between Japan's national strength and Li Hongzhang's forces.

The most fundamental reason was that the Westernists were mainly local Han officials, and the Manchu nobles were worried that the Westernists would become big and threaten their rule. As soon as the Hunan army captured Tianjing, those Hunan generals persuaded Zeng Guofan to stand on his own, and their desire to replace the Qing court was no less than that of Hong Xiuquan. The Westernists, including the overseas students trained by Yuan Shikai and the new army trained by Yuan Shikai, became the main force against the Qing Dynasty.

Prosperity and strength are relative, horses have no night grass, no fat, no robbery, colonization, and conspiracy are at most the same as others, and the start is late, and the natural development is also slow, unless there is a conspiracy to slow down others.

The subjective purpose of the Westernization Movement was to preserve feudal rule, not to lead the Chinese state towards capitalism.

The small peasant class was protected from being forced to perform industrial labor.

The Westernization Movement to maintain feudal rule will definitely fail.

How corrupt was the Westernization Movement? There is also money to repair the Summer Palace.

The military has not been developed very intensively.

The exploitation of the people is not enough

Workers do not have an environment, arctic fox use, good environment, soil bones, tuberculosis, like relying on the problem, Ning Ri is hot, easy to see, suddenly confused, and then suddenly live, and then still after.

1. Because the Qing Dynasty at that time was pedantic, it would not prevent the existence of clauses that infringed on the interests of the royal family; 2. The executors of the movement did not fully consider the current situation at that time, and blindly copied various terms of foreign countries, which was doomed to failure.

Because the diehards in the country are very resistant.
