论西方传教士在戊戌维新运动中的作用与影响

Role and Impact of Western Missionaries in Wu-Xu Reform Movement

在中国近代的戊戌维新运动时期,在华的西方传教士十分活跃。他们传播西学、抨击清政府弊政、鼓吹维新改革,甚至参与变法活动。尽管其目的是维护教会和本国政府利益,但在客观上促进了中国先进知识分子的觉醒和思想解放,为维新变法打下了一定的思想基础,从而推进了戊戌维新运动的进程。

During China＇s Wu-Xu Reform Movement in the late 19th century,the western missionaries in China were highly active.They spread western knowledge,criticized the government of the Qing Dynasty,advocated reform,and even participated in the Reform Movement.Although their purpose was to protect the interest of the Church and their own countries,their role objectively facilitated the awakening and mind emancipation of China＇s advanced intellectuals at that time,which contributed to building the basis for Wu-Xu Reform and pushing the Movement forward.
