曾国藩、李鸿章西洋武器观念差异之分析

The Analysis of Concepts of Western Weapon between Zeng Guo- fan and Li Hong- zhang

曾国藩、李鸿章在对西洋武器的观念上有着明显的差异,曾国藩被动消极、李鸿章则积极主动;曾国藩侧重于"人",李鸿章则侧重于"器"。此种差异的形成主要是由于两人个性性格、思维方式和实践经验等三个方面的原因,这种差异折射了时代变迁的轨迹,而分析这种差异对于分析洋务运动之成败有一定的参考意义。

There was a clear difference in the concept of modern weapons between Zeng Guo- fan and Li Hong- zhang.Zeng was passivity and Li was active. Zeng focused on man and Li focused on weapon. Such differences were mainly due to personality differences,ways of thinking and practical experience. This difference reflects the trajectory of the changing times,and comparing this difference has some reference value for the analysis of the failure of the Westernization Movement.
