鸦片战争时期西北边疆史地研究与新疆防务建设——以龚自珍、林则徐为例

A Study of the Northwestern Frontier in 1840s and Xinjiang Defense

鸦片战争时期,以龚自珍、林则徐为代表的西北边疆史地研究者,着眼于国家、民族的生死存亡,以对国家和民族之深沉的挚爱和高度的关注为底蕴与内涵,注重研究和探讨如何筹边谋防、抵御外侮、消除"边患",以保卫国家安全的方略与对策,为巩固西北边防起到了摇旗呐喊、振聋发聩的作用,为以后收复新疆失地、实现新疆建省及晚清新疆防务建设的全面展开奠定了理论基础。

In the period of Opium Wars, with the love and concern to the nation, researchers in history and geography of the northwest frontier represented by Gong Zi-zhen and Lin Ze-xu studied how to defend the borderland, how to resist foreign aggressions and how to eliminate ＂troubles in the frontier＂. They established the theoretical foundation for regaining the lost territory, setting up Xinjiang province, and re-implementing national defense in Xinjiang.
