西学与中国传统文化及教育观念的冲突——关于京师同文馆的一场辩论

The Conflict between Western Sciences and Chinese Traditional Educational Concepts——A Debate on the Tungwen College

同治元年清总理衙门创设京师同文馆,被视为晚清西学教育亦即新式教育在中国的开端,中西文化及教育之间的交流和融合增多,西学与中国传统文化之间的冲突也日益明显。同治六年同文馆发生的一场保守派对课程改革和西方文化的抵制,也反映出在晚清中国的教育现代化进程中,西方的新式教育和理念对中国传统文化思想和教育理念的冲击。

The establishment of the Tungwen College in 1863 by The Tsungli Yamen is regarded as the beginning of western education during the late Qing Dynasty. In order words, a new-style education in China. As the exchange and integration between Chinese and western cultures and education increased, the conflict between western sciences and Chinese traditional culture became more obvious. In the process of China＇s educational modernization in the late Qing Dynasty, in 1867, conservative opposition to Western education and cultural traditions reflected the impact on Chinese traditional cultural thoughts and educational ideas.
