试论清代封闭意识的危害及其逐步打破

A Trial Comment on the Detriment and Gradual Smash of the Close Consciousness of Qing Dynasty

清代前中期极力推行闭关锁国政策,给中国带来了极大的危害。鸦片战争打开了中国国门,但清政府对外方面依然固守天朝外交原则,统治集团依然执行封闭的外交政策。这种状况直到第二次鸦片战争后才慢慢改变。中国外交逐步走出了中世纪的封闭,开始具有近代外交的气息。但这种打破并不意味着中国封闭心态的结束,在这以后,统治集团内部时不时还会冒出自我封闭的意识。

The policy of closing the country was gravely pushed forward in the Mid-Qing Dynasty period,which brought tremendous detriment to China.The Opium War had opened gate of China to the outside world,but the Qing Dynasty government still held the diplomatic principle of the dynasty;the ruling class still carried out its close diplomatic policy.The principle and the policy began to be changed until the Second Opium War.Chinese diplomacy gradually broke through the close of the medieval age,and began to be with the contemporary breath,but the break did not mean the end of the close outlook.After the period,the consciousness emerged now and then inside the ruling class.
