两次鸦片战争的失败,使清政府认识到西方军事上的先进性,以"自强求富"为口号的洋务运动应运而生。洋务派改革的主要活动之一就是向西方派遣留学生。洋务运动期间,清政府曾先后派出四届学生赴法学习。这些学生基本来自由左宗棠在福州创办的福建船政局下设的福建船政学堂。本文将追随这些中国最早的官派留法学生在中国和法国接受教育的轨迹,探讨他们在军事、经济、教育、外交和文化领域对中法跨文化交流的影响。

The defeats suffered during the First and Second Wars of Opium made the Qing government realize its military backwardness in the face of the western countries.That’s why it launched the Westernization Movement(YangwuYundong),aiming to make the country more powerful and prosperous.One of the reformational activities was sending Chinese students to the West.Four groups of students from the Fouzhou Arsenal founded by Zuo Zongtang were successively sent to France.The present article follows the activities of these students in China and France in order to study their influence on the relations between China and France on the military,economic,pedagogical,diplomatic and cultural fronts.
