鸦片战争后的救亡图存与开眼向洋

Post-Opium War Struggle for National Survival with Western Learning as an Eye-opener

鸦片战争从各个方面极大地震撼了中国千年的封建社会,清廷"天朝上国"的理念开始崩塌。国门洞开的耻辱强烈地刺激着统治阶层与知识精英,救亡图存的危机感与责任感由是萌生。林则徐、魏源等救亡先驱的开眼向洋之举开启了投石问路、承先启后、探索启蒙的民族自救运动的先河。

The Opium War greatly shook China＇s thousand -year- old feudal society in all aspects, and the concept of Central Kingdom held by the Qing Dynasty began to fall apart. The sense of shame for the defenseless dynasty strongly hurt the ruling class and intellectual elite, generating a sense of crisis and sense of duty for national survival. The out -looking moves for salvation by such forerunners as Lin Zexu and Wei Yuan opened a new page in exploring and continuing the national salvation movement.
