China knows which dynasty western civilization began? What position? What event? Who are the main characters involved?

It began in the Qing Dynasty, during the Opium War. The germination of new ideas

It is a new idea sprouted by people of insight among feudal scholars to seek ways to strengthen the country and resist aggression before and after the Opium War, when the national crisis deepened and feudal rule became increasingly corrupt. Lin Zexu, Wei Yuan and Hong Rengan reflected the urgent desire of the advanced China people to seek truth from the West and explore the road of saving the country and the people.

Lin Zexu and Wei Yuan are advocates of new ideas. They opened their eyes to the world and opened a new page for modern China to learn from the West.

Lin Zexu-the first person to "open his eyes to see the world".

During the ban on smoking in Guangdong, a translation library was set up to translate the Book of Escape, which made Guangdong a window for China people to see the world for some time. At that time, he compiled the laws of various countries and the chronicles of four continents, which directly served the anti-British struggle and attracted attention.

During the Opium War, he actively imitated western warships, put forward the idea of building a new navy, and took the first step of "learning from foreigners".

Wei Yuan-"Learn from foreigners and manage foreigners".

Entrusted by Lin Zexu, according to the records of the Four Kingdoms and other materials, the Atlas of Sea Countries was compiled. The idea of "learning from foreigners to control foreigners" is expounded. Atlas of the Ocean was the most detailed monograph introducing western history and geography at that time, which played a positive role in broadening people's horizons.
