论郭嵩焘的洋务思想

Analysis on Guo Song-tao’s Westernization Thought

第二次鸦片战争后,内忧外乱的现实让中坚阶层中部分知识分子有所觉悟,他们从“天朝大国”的迷梦中惊醒,开始寻求与探索新的治国方略。郭嵩焘是中国近代历史上著名的政治家、思想家和外交家。他的洋务思想萌发较早,受到时代影响形成了独特的洋务主张。他批评洋务派单纯学习西方的军事技术,主张大力发展民族工商业和近代教育事业,这不仅开创了近代思想解放先河、促进中国打开外交之路,还开拓了当时代知识分子的眼界与思维,对当时中国人开眼看世界有着重要的历史意义。

After the Second Opium War,the reality of internal worries and external disturbances made some elite intellectuals be awakened from the dream of a“heavenly power”and began to seek and explore new strategies for governing the country.Guo song-tao is a famous politician,thinker and diplomat in the modern history of China,whose westernization thought sprouted earlier and formed his unique westernization idea under the influence of the times.He criticized the westernization school for simply learning western military technology and advocated vigorously developing national industry and commerce and modern education,which not only created a precedent for modern ideological emancipation and promoted china’s opening of diplomacy,but also opened up the vision and thinking of intellectuals of that era.It is of great historical significance for Chinese people to open their eyes to see the world.
