    The most important thing is that in the Western-style enterprises at that time, the original feudal society was still implemented, that is, although it seems to be a relatively new form of enterprise, it is essentially the old management system, which shows that the Western-style movement has not really changed in fact, but has only added some new elements to this.

    Historical role: The Westernization Movement introduced advanced science and technology from the West, which led to the emergence of the first batch of modern enterprises in China, which objectively played a role in promoting the emergence and development of China's national capitalism and opened up the way for China's modernization.

    During the Westernization Movement, although the Westernists boasted of a "new deal for self-improvement", because they were all defenders of feudal traditional thought, they had no intention of learning the capitalist political and economic system at all, and only advocated learning Western technology, and strongly opposed any form of reform of feudal ideology and feudal system. On the contrary, under the attack of the invading forces of the foreign powers, the "feat" carried out by these defenders of feudal ideas quickly failed.
